  • Yesterday 3rd February I picked up a MK5 Golf GTI through BCA Nottingham, the car had been sold to We Buy Any Car so it was a massive risk! Did it make it home ok?

    Nice car mate, but scary when it comes to the people buying them and warranty’s but I’m sure it will sell soon enough. As always mate keep up the good work.

    My parents had Golfs when I was a kid starting with MK 1 GTi in red. I had a mark 3 (I think) as a company car in period also in Mars red replacing a BMW 316i. Wouldnt buy high mileage hot hatch though. It would have had a hard life. The aerosol sprayed alloys are indication of that. Would look better in factory silver.

      @@MartynRogers-n7q I think red is a great colour for the gti. I'm not sure about hard life, it doesn't feel as worn out as I thought it would, seems to have had an older owner since 2013. Yeah silver is preferred for me too

    You did well there for say £2k, I would have took a punt at that one too, its smart for the money. I do like your partner's logic, better to be prepared than sitting at the side of the road regretting that you didn't. I reckon tidied up I'd put it at £3500 and see where you go, you can always come down but not back up, best of luck
