    Have you checked the vin?? Ring a volkswagen dealership with the vin and find out if it's an import simple. They should also be able to check PR codes and tell you what's stock and what's not.

      My 2 cents is that all dealers all use the same valuing guide, and if a dealer is selling a car cheap it is for a reason.
      I would leave it and look for another car.

        Well said.

        If it was a private sale you may have been in luck, however I don't think dealers are there to do anyone favours unfortunately.

          Might be a UK import as the rear seat with fold down armrest is common in the UK. Even NZ received far more options/ combos than we did in AUS.

            Well the import thing explains all the weird options.
            You really want to do your homework on this. A lot of insurance companies will not insure Grey Imports, or those that do charge a higher premium.

            MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
            MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.

              Why would you insure beyond TPPFT on a $6k "performance" vehicle. The premium (even if not a grey import) will be around $1500pa. If you can't afford to self insure on $6k then aim for something cheaper

                Wow $1500 for a $6k car is excessive.
                Personally I pay around $400 listed at $10k for my GTI.
                And the Jetta is $320 listed at $14.5K.

                  You're in Brissy, not Sin City. The OP sounds like he might be <25.

                  Who knows, it was just a guess on my part.

                    Who do you insure through?

                      Shannons for the Golf and Youi for the Jetta.
                      It helps to be old, live in a good suburb, have good security at home and work.
