Title: Seen car, advice needed
Post by: crashdesk on June 11, 2011, 10:49:19 am

Hi,

Quick buying advice needed. Saw this GTI today at local traders, http://bit.ly/mkLqF4

The Air Con controls seem different
There was a stone chip on bonnet. (said he'd sort that out)
There was a slight dent in right side passenger door (don't have image. said he'd sort that out)


See images attached.

The last image is of the rear bumper. Is it normal to have that textured plastic coloured or has someone smoothed the bumper and left that?

Thanks,
C

If thats the bottom of the rear bumper, it looks like its been colour coded and not prep'd correctly - this is supported by it having colour coded side skirts and front bumper valance

Its possibly an import as it has the manual aircon as opposed to the fully automatic

Hi Darren
Have you got your car back yet?

OP that car is definately an import, unless there is a good discount I would avoid it

Nowt wrong with an import, as long as it's a UK spec car.

As soon as I spotted the lack of dual climate control, I thought of "import" as well!  :grin:

Anyway, look for other cars.
