Title: Help me find - GT TDI
Post by: Johnny_tro on August 28, 2011, 04:58:03 pm

All, really finding it hard at the moment to locate a car. Been speaking to people and think the reason is - I'm comparing too much with the old one and (so I have been informed) and looking to deep  into reasons NOT to buy it; if you can understand. I can't see it.....but this is I'm being told.

So, I'd really appreciate some help.....here is my want £5k

GT TDI - must be a 5 door (family)
Colour, not too fussy, but pink is not an option.
Would like the basics, digital climate, and heated seats - so worst case can change the seats and not have to retro fit heated system (Will probably be a nightmare to do)
Obviously FSH and expecting high mileage....if so, cam belt etc. already done.


I await some help, links....posts......PLEASE.

I'm like a 5 year old lost in the woods at the moment.

Location - West Midlands - but will travel for the 'ONE'  :smiley:

Might help if you state your location.  :smiley:

Just a very quick look on autotrader and see this one has had recent service and cam belt. Says excellent condition although no pics of interior.

Good luck fella, I was looking a year for 'the one', admittedly what we have is better spec'd then I was looking for, but still the wrong colour.

I think digital climate will be hard to find as well, that was high on my wish list, but didn't get it.  :sad1:

 :happy2: Nice finds....been looking at buy nows at I do't really win the bids, or they tend to go silly.

First one nice, but agree  < facelift will certainly go beyond my budget
