Congrats on finally joining up and best of luck with the buy.

Is it MkV or MkVI? Also, DSG or Manual?

Looking at a 2007 Silver GTI Manual with leather- Cannot get the owner to budge on price though! HAd been looking for a wrx, but took the golf for a drive the other day and was great, is local too, which makes things easier. Definately a fan.

Ahh very nice! I'm sure you'll talk them down.

Thanks!I hope so too. Any thoughts on a fair price? 45ks, good service history, like new basically.

Depends on the extras TBH. Mine came with Leather and Sunroof, but there was issues with it and it was a DSG. I managed $17,990. For the Manual and with no extras I definitely wouldn't be doing anything above $27,000. Depending on the extras you'd be up for more.

If you don't mind answering, how much are they asking?

Woohoo - about to pay deposit. Insurance value on all quotes I have checked is about 26k, its only done 45ks and I am getting it for a few K less than that.... so I think I have done well needs 2 new tyres in perhaps 6 months, but will look out for some 18inch detroits in that time

What kinda options does it have fitted?

[Krusty900]

Its got leather, thats about it I think. Think it was 45k new from a receipt I saw. Still a good price..?

$45K with Leather only seems a bit extreme. That's Leather, Sunroof, and Detroits territory.

You've done well none the less.

Cheers, Deposit paid! Had a better look at the car today, in pretty good condition a few marks here and there and a scratch I knew about to get fixed. Leather probably needs some conditioning in a few spots but overall, vgc. Had a fault code at the recent service for a door lock module or something, but did not need addressing at the minute. Also, its july 2007 - does that mean its still MY07 or MY08..? ( i was doing insurance quotes and one you can do it my rego number and it automatically chose MY08 for me)
