Hey guys

[g12528]

Looking at buying a polo gti. Test drove one yesterday..jeez there fun to drive.

There's only 2 in Adelaide ATM. One is a 06 with more ks and the other is a 08. The 06 has a sunroof which is a feature I really like and Its a dealer with 3 month warranty. Both have been serviced by the books.

I'll post links which would you guys go for?

I'd beat down the price on the newer one if the history and bodywork check out.

Cheers mate. I'm kinda sold on the leather seats and sunroof. It gives a little more class to the car.

But I'm gonna check out the 08 one on the w.e hopefully just to see what its like how clean it is etc.

What price could I get it done too without low balling

It's what it's worth to you, I can't make that call for you. Mine was $4000 but I have spent loads upgrading since.

I have the only Polo I can think of that has needed a turbo. So I wouldn't worry about needing one.

With appropriate supporting mods you can safely achieve over 140kw atw with standard turbo. Beyond that you've got K04, frankenturbo and hybrids, probably others too. That's up from about 90kw atw they put out standard. Traction becomes quite a challenge beyond that.

Sounds good.

How much money do you have? I could spend it all for you.

Ignoring the cost of a turbo.

Front mount intercooler and pipework
Injectors
MAF
Fuel pump
Turbo Back exhaust
Suspension
Brakes
Software

$5000 wouldn't be enough to do it properly, it would make sense to spend the extra on buying a car that is faster to start with.

sorry mate i ment if the turbo malfunctions how much would it cost to put a stock one back in? not a modded one..
honestly im happy with the power it has

403 Forbidden plus shipping, plus labour.

You could probably have it rebuilt on Marion Road for less though. Adelaide turbo systems.

Seriously, apart from me, I haven't heard of one giving up.

It shouldn't be a concern.

The turbo should be good for another 100k at least they are a rare failure part, price seems reasonable for that vehicle too. Previous 9N (2006) owner with stage 1 tune never had an issue with my Gti other than a speeding fine but thats not the cars fault

[g12528]

cool thanks guys, relatives have put it into my head that the turbos **** themselves all the time, which i didnt think was the case.
