No Service Books... Should i run??

No logs, repaired write-off not disclosed by seller, it smells bad. I wouldn't touch it.

Personally I'd forget about the car - not so much because of the write-off itself but because the seller didn't disclose the fact to you.

There's no way anyone would not know their car had been written off, so to deliberately not disclose that information would make me wonder what else may be hidden about the car's history.

9N3 GTIs aren't rare cars, and I suspect quite a few will be making it to the market in the future as leases and finance plans come to an end with the vehicles reaching 5-6 years old. I'd suggest hanging out to find something else in your budget that doesn't have a dodgy seller cloud hanging over the top.

thanks heaps for all your advice guys. Muchly appreciated. Have decided to give it a miss

Forget about it and don't look back. Tell the seller that he is a dodgy prick too.

Keep looking, you should be able to pick up a decent one for about 10 now.

If its the same one that I just found on carsales, the guy that is selling it is called "Con".

Sketchy with servicing, not disclosing a repaired write off.

Pretty much sums him up nicely.

Yep that's the one! I thought the name was especially apt!
Yeah I'll keep an eye out for sure. The next cheapest one I saw was almost 12k but we'll see
