I'll be trading my mk5 gti within the next few months for a golf r, just need some advice on what i should be looking out for when buying.
Thanks in advance
-
6R or new 7R?
-
Yeh, might work out cheaper to get a 7R :signLOL:.
The 6R is rarer and often overpriced on the used market, nice car though.
-
6R, would love to get a 7, but my budget is about 23k

It's basically a MK5 GTI with 4WD.
So, look out for same things as if you were buying a mk5, and make sure Haldex 4WD has been serviced properly, and works.
Simples :happy2:
-
Wait a bit longer and go for a PP GTI or 7R.
-
Ask on the R forum
-
Thanks guys, I have looked at the 7R, performance wise I'd buy it, but not too keen on the look of it. Plus I'd have to get most extras which would take it to 30+k, defo don't have the cash for that.
Ask on the R forum
Only found that forum yesterday so have been taking a look thanks :)
Well we shall see what happens. My gti has already got a new owner just need to find the right R, no rush :)
-
Can get 10-12% discount on the Mk7 too. Strong residuals mean it's cheaper on finance than a GTI, unless you were looking at a cash purchase?
-
Ha I'm 24 with a 20k salary, no chance I'm looking at a cash purchase :p Even with that discount I'm still looking at the high end 20's after adding leather etc surely? which is out of my budget :/
-
20k salary and a 23k car budget :surprised:
-
It would be cheaper to buy a new car on finance than used. Unless you are able to get a cheap rate loan.
-
Why 23k on a car when your yearly income is so low
You should at least put 40k instead lol
-
Thanks guys, you got me looking at the 7R, just talking with vw, depends on what they'll give me for the mk6 gti, so we shall see what happens :evilgrin:

Still waiting for a build week on mine.
@jonny have you managed to test drive one? Congrats on the order.

Yeah managed to test drive one down in hadwins vw, loved it :jumping:... only difference with that was it had prets on... which had been curbed... I would have been going nuts if I was the dealer.
This wait is going to be torture haha!
