Where is everyone?
Did they all upgrade to mk7's?

Nope. Still here!

Still loving my Mk5 GTI. Put some Koni sports on the rear last week (at 84xxxkms) as the rear OEM dampers were stuffed (probably since ~70,000kms on). Ride is much improved. Handling much the same.

hi all mkv experts,
I am looking to get 2009 GTI and have few questions.
1. Anything in particular I should check before the purchase
2. How much I should be paying? - looking at this - 2009 Volkswagen Golf GTI V Auto MY09
3. I do high kilometers (25-30k a year) - Will it serve me well upto 150k on the clock or they start giving issues 100k later?

Thanks in advance.

Glad To hear!

That low km 09 looks good macdub.

I'm not an expert on the mk5 but there is the usual things you have to look into.

You will be up for major service before 100k which you will have to factor in.
If it's been kept to service internals then would be good.

I love my MY07, partly because the previous owner took such good care of it! I paid $13k with 105,000km on the clock.
You should get plenty of life with such low Km's and I would ask for some warranty for that price!
Cheers

Still lurking every day!

btw, anyone know a good place to buy the chrome switches for headlights/windows/fuel filler cap and whether a LH drive set will work on RH drive?

Thanks golfmeup. I had a look at the car today. It was in good nick but the dealer is not moving the price at all. Meanwhile, Another red came up on carsales which is 2006.
Anyone knows the difference between MY06 vs 07-08-09??

Shop around, there's plenty of good deals on mk5's

I found this link might help Differences between the MK5 year models... - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum - Golfmkv.com

Hope it's ok to post?

I'm still around.
MY09 GTI DSG. Just clicked over 50k, yes just 50k and 6 1/2 years old.
Second set of tyres.
I'm annoyed that I spent $1,500 on an extended 3 yr new car warranty and only used $750 of it
Otherwise all good and a very good car

Yes, quiet around here. Nearly 2yrs into my mkv r32 [emoji4]. Gle1234, I know a guy selling light switches.
