Ive been offered a Sliver Mk5 TDI Sportsline with DSG done 60,000kms, what do you think its worth?

Ive just been offered the above car for $25,000, what you guys think?
I took it for a drive, it handles very well and the engine goes better than I would have thought. Safe to say I was very impressed, I think you would annoy a Mk5 GTI driver if they can up behind you on a windy road and a standard Mk4 GTI would be left wanting.

Sounds like a good deal to me.
Only thing that would concern me would be the DSG, how will it go in a few years time? They might become prone to failure and be expensive to fix...

Is it a 2.0 or 1.9 TDI?

OOOO

Seems very good money to me Nik. Based on my experiences with the Passat TDI I would go for it...BUT...what about that house buying?... :)

Yes you should and in a few short years you'll be glad you did...BUT...that TDI would make mincemeat of the Napier-Taupo Road  >:D

Youve got a wise head on those shoulders Scott :) and yes you are right, the Mk5 would look good for my work profile :)

As for the Napier-Taupo Rd, yes the TDI would go well on there, the Mk1 GTI would still go alot better ;)

Do the house thing first.

mk5 2L TDI is a fine car, but only with a proper manual box. Then there is the underated Fabia vRS....if one could be found.

Thats a pretty good deal. They should have no trouble getting someone to purchase it at tht price. Add chip and have some real fun...

I passed but I think a mate on mine might be buying it, he doesnt normally keep cars long so I might have another crack at it in 6 months time or so.
