The "Second Hand" / "2nd Hand" MK6 Golf Thread

[brad]

Currently shopping around for a car and came around this 2010 Volkswagen Golf R VI Manual 4MOTION MY10

How much is this worth?
I'm looking for a Mk6 R in good nic, manual, low k's and stock if possible.

Why would you want a stock R? Do you love lag?

Why would you want a stock R? Do you love lag?

Agreed - they are slow, laggy and boring stock. I think i waited a grand total of about 1 month before i tuned mine.

Not sure this is the right place but I am putting my R up for sale.. regretfully.. really is a great car but have bought a new set of kicks so this has to move on

Hey guys,

Currently own mk4 golf, and need to upgrade the car as I'm having some pretty crap electrical gremlins happening atm (long story).
Anyway looking at purchasing a mk6 gti with dsg as they're within my budget. Was wondering if there's anything I should be looking out for as red flags when purchasing a used mk6 any tips or heads up would be great, thanks!

Hi Mate,

Picked up a GTI myself recently really love it. When i was looking it was really important that the car had full service history. GTIs are pretty fussy on their fluids and can burn oil so pretty important it was well maintained. Any cars with jerky or hesitant gear changes should also be avoided.

Thanks for the tips much appreciated!

Went and looked at this today

But the service history was a bit 'iffy', serviced four times with only two of the four being done at a stealership/garage. Also said that the next service was due at 66k or 6/6/16 but it was currently sitting at 78k so that raised a red flag for me haha.

This one Looks great, did you buy one already?

Certainly did!

Purchased a 2012 mk6 gti from Coffey Ford in Dandenong. Full service history always serviced at a stealership
Only has 74,000km and full leather interior.





Gonna miss my mk4 so much but this gti is definitely gonna help the healing process haha
