Thats what i also thought but after surfing I found that the same year with higher mileage for the same price or marginally lower.Saw one yesterday with 70 000km and was going for R210 000.Obviously resale value is great !

Drop him to R195 and make sure its a BWA, check the engine code on the licence disc.

I own a 2006 model bought new and now at 149,000kms! I love the car and will probably never sell it! Never missed a beat - HONESTLY! Highest ever service: R6.5k. Mine's manual... Heard some horrible stories about DSG problems... Ok, not that many stories. I believe they are an absolute pleasure though, DSG that is...!

Thanks but that dont have any extras and not too sure about black.Also,the motor plan will expire at 60 000 so going for my choice allows me just under 20 000km before expires.

Shot !!I drive a 2005 Jetta 1.8T R and when i test drove the GTI ,was blown away not only with the performance but more for the build.Really great interior than previous models.I want one !!!!

remember to do a full AA car test, before deciding to buy...

You have nothing to loose.

R215K seems rather high for a 4 year old GTI considering that most vehicle lose about 50% of their value within the first 3 years.
The vehicle only has 1 year and and 18000km left before the motorplan and warranty run out.
42000km is plenty of time to abuse a vehicle - check it thoroughly and pray that the turbo, gearbox, etc. don't break 1 year down the line.

Good deal, awesome car, go for it.

Drop him to R195 and make sure its a BWA, check the engine code on the licence disc.

Think that all GTIs that came out post 2006 August are BWA.
