I'm looking at a mk5 GTI, can anyone advise me on how the price seems for the following:
54 reg, 53,000 miles, Full service history, 2 previous owners, red, full leather, heated seats? It's up for £5,990
They will also replace timing belt and water pump included in the sale
Any ideas on how well this is priced please!?
Thank you

How can anyone on here say this is well priced without actually viewing/driving the car?!
Josh, like I said in your other thread - don't get fixated on one car. Don't take this the wrong way, but it sounds like you don't have too much experience in buying cars. Would that be a fair guess? And it sounds like you're keen for someone to back up your hopes that this car in particular is a good one, and not a lemon like you bought before. Sound about right?
Here's the problem. People on a forum can only tell you if a car is theoretically priced in the right ballpark. What we can't do is tell you whether the car is a total dog or not.
Is there anyone you know who's into cars you could bring along to view a few? It could be the difference between finally getting a decent one or getting another rotter.
Take your time mate, seriously.

Hold on a minute.I've bought a few cars, I'm meaning if the car drives as it should, and are no issues with it, after having a previous one go wrong I'll be as thorough as I can

I believe he's asking for people's opinions? The purpose of a forum maybe....... :thinking:

Gotta love autotraders mpg figures though... :stupid:

Hope you enjoy it anyway, it's basically just ran in with those miles! :happy2:
Post by: JoshJaggard on February 12, 2017, 11:35:20 pm
But it's the same as that auto trader ad, in terms of looks and spec!
Seems to be running well
