This can't be right.... Can it?

Hi Guys,

I know I'm not one of you yet (therefore I maybe shouldn't be posting yet) but I'm really close to purchasing a Polo Gti 06-09 model and need your help..

I rang the guy selling this car and he's trying to tell me its supercharged and turbocharged?! unless he's done some crazy mod they didn't test the new engine in this body did they?

p.s I know the car is bloody overpriced

2010 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI 9N MY2009 Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

cheers fellas

The latest model is but not ours (9N3).
We've got the bigger displacement and turbo whereas the new shape (6R) is a 1.4 twin charge (supercharger down low and turbo higher in the range once the boost has spooled.

the guys a nutter its just a 1.8 turbo well over priced but looks clean

Yuhuh

God that writeup is awful. He's on some bad grass that bloke. Corners in 4th??? Either illegal or chuggy!!

I have a 2010, that guys delusional prob from smoking crack.

The price he's asking is about what i paid for my car with 1000k's on it from the dealer about a year ago, would love to still get that for it as i have 15.5k on the clock, but i recon its still worth about 20500 at least

welcome, mate!

depends what you're after, really - are you a "good petrolhead" who likes things that are "devastatingly divine"? hahahaha.

yeah, i'd bargain him down a bit. yes, it's a fine example, but with 16,000k's on the clock it should have depreciated more. a fair bit more, i'd say.

i mean, $5k more and you get a NEW polo gti with ZERO km's on the clock (let's not get into wait times and optional add ons etc etc).

good luck, keep us posted on how it goes.

thanks for the replies fellas, I wrote this guy a email telling him that I queried some PROFESSIONALS (you guys) about his car and that the following information he has supplied is false and I got a barely legible response.. I might steer clear of this bloke & his polo I think he's crazy ha ha.

I'm bursting at the seams to jump behind the wheel of my new (2nd hand) polo, every damn listed car in VIC atm is either in poor condition or the owners are expecting too much. I would love leather... not sure if it's neccessary, sure does look nice in the cabin though.

Kudos to the forums you guys run here, I've spent days and nights scrolling though all 100+ pages learning everything I need to know!

A plane ride to Brisbane and buy Shaneth's GTI is in order IMO. Saving 6k.

that guy could sell ice to an eskimo. Good luck to him.

[nightphotographer]

Anyone else cringe whilst reading that...is this guy for real?

[kangfu]

Best bit is where he quotes the '0 to 80 on vic roads in 5.9 seconds'.

Edit: Ok spoke too soon didnt read the rest, hahah.

[Blitzen]

Haha... I did!! It was such a bad read, but the sad thing is is that he will sell it to someone who will believe his crap!!

[VWindahouse]

2nd that! You won't be disappointed, it's a rocket! Worth the trip imo.

If I didn't have a job I'd go have a look. If it's the white one posted on carsales.com.au it looks a beaut.

Maybe if I wire transfer the money and Shane can push it onto the freeway with cruise control on it will save me some time?

I'll drive it down, you fly me home

(just joking, I'm time poor as buggery at the moment too) I have had a drive of this car about 12months ago, very well maintained and presented car.
