DSG or manual?

DSG or manual?

You can pick up low mileage manuals that are a couple of years old in that price range. I'd be surprised if it was a DSG.

those okes who bought in 2005/2006 are not even losing alot of value. still retails for 150k now. insane how its kept its value. dsg that is.

Well WHICH GTi would be my very first question.

Secondly if you are getting it cheap...chances are there's a very good reason for it. Then again your idea of cheap might be quite relative to mine.

Why buy a Gee Tee Haai in the 1st place?

Yeah they launched here for 250k.

Many people sold them for exactly that or just slightly less.


Same reason I ended up buying one over a Kia Koupe (apart from the ****ty gearbox) is that the second hand GTi will be worth more in 5 years than the Kia if I bought it brand new.

I like the manual transition. That's proper high tech.

Problem with the GTI (or any car belonging to a particular range for that matter) is that the range is updated every five years, so you either have to trade your car in or risk its demand (and therefore value) dropping.

Problem with the GTI....

Not to mention that the typical GTI owner has been driving it stukken, so your chances of forking out $$$ for repairs down the line are quite high

I wouldn't get any second hand turbo car, no matter how well they claim to have looked after it.

I'll be selling mine in 2 / 3 months. Pretty much exactly the same as this, except I only did 52000km so far. I didn't do as much travelling in the past 3 years like I did before. On my Golf 5 GTI, I did more than twice that much over 3 years.

Actually, on top of not buying a turbo car 2nd hand, I don't even drive a new turbo car outside of warranty, which is why I switch cars every 2 / 3 years. I've never had any car problems, but my sister and her husband once bought a 2nd hand Polo TDI and the turbo went twice... The quote on their car scared the hell out of me.

Japanese? The Japs have been making quality cars for decades dude, and pioneered many modern manufacturing techniques and processes.
