seems like a fair price when you consider the extras. bloody long way though, pretty much got to commit to buy if going "up" that far - unless you live in Glasgow of course

All good except its the colour last on your want list. Be Patient dear fella  :signLOL:
Title: Re: advice plz
Post by: QD MBE on July 08, 2010, 09:27:58 pm
Quite expensive.  Drivers seat bolster looks well worn, and the sat nag is the MFD2 version ( no HD).

plus side it has xenons and MFSW etc, but options should not add a great deal to the price, it adds virtually nothing to a trade in value.  Best colour though.

I agree. I think it's a bit steep for the age. I'd expect a 57 plate 08 car for that money.

The first white one you posted up from Piston Heads, it states GAP Insurance untill 2011 ... With GAP, it stays with the owner and the car so when the car is sold on the GAP will not apply to the new owner, so it expires. Just thought I'd let you know incase you didnt already know.

Go for a Candy White ED30, it's the best colour  :wink:

Post by: SeanyK on July 19, 2010, 09:40:32 pm
Nice car mate, but my opinion is that that is too much money to be spending on the car as you are dangerously close to the MK6 GTI... I've seen a few of those around the 20/21k mark, and whilst I know thats 18k or so... You get my point...

So you see a 2008 MK5 GTI vs a 2010 MK6 GTI with £3k difference, to me the MK6 takes the show.

Title: Re: advice plz
Post by: Gti_Mad on July 19, 2010, 10:09:19 pm
^^^ this is very true seanyk will deffo have to look about and have a think.............. im veering more towards another DBP car as like you say CW 1's go for ridiculous money coz there rare as fook

....No contest if the 08 Mk5 GTI is an Edition 30 - I wouldn't have to think twice about choosing the mk5 rather than mk6, but we're all different in our preferences.
