Title: Newbie questions
Post by: Jonboy72 on May 02, 2010, 04:14:38 pm
How much of a premium over a basic specification 3 year old MK5 GTI would you pay for one with recaro leather, xenons and sat nav?

thanks

satnav can be retrofitted as can the xenons but at cost

the only attractive extra on the list would be the leather and xenons, so no more than a couple of hundred

Thanks Very Cherry. its a 56/07 with 25k miles, with the extras mentioned for £15,000 so overpriced then when you look at the price guides?

Haha yeah it was a good deal but like i said i was in the right place at the right time over heard a conversation that the previous owner had with the service receptionist in VW he was past 80 years old and was giving up driving so was planning on selling it to his grandson but his grandson couldnt get insurance and he was asking the service receptionist what he thought he should do, Then i chipped in Ill buy it Jokingly then to my surprise he turned around and said ok, 2 days later it was in my drive had to buy it without seeing it though but for the price i was willing to take the risk :evilgrin:

Just done a check on glass net and the guide price is £12200 but folks this price is only a guide :happy2:
