Buying a Polo GTi 9N - what to look for

[jamesatfish]

I would offer you my GTI as I'm selling it soon, however if you're concerned about the power output for a P-plater mine probably wouldn't be all that suitable in it's current state

I remember seeing your car at GAF in Canberra last year - it looked great and I'm sure it'll be a good buy for the new owner.

What's on the upgrade list?

Thanks mate, I'll be sad to see it go.

Let's just say instead of drivin a car from Germany, I'll be driving one IN Germany

Thank you to everyone for the advice. Purchase made - less than 26,000 kms on the clock - save for some tyre wear it is as new.

There remains a very nice white Polo GTI in ACT with leather - I was able to negotiate a price I was happy with and came very close to buying it however the one I bought is only 5 minutes from home.

Now to sort out the tune. I need to be able to select stock for my son and power for me. APR seems to meet those needs. Need to see what the others offer. If anyone knows which offer selectable tunes please advise.

Viezu, DNA Tuning and Bluefin have reflash units that allow the maps to be switched but not as quickly as with the APR (but they cost a fair bit less too)

congrats on the purchase mate, just sent a pm to you with some questions.

Thanks for that. APR products to my mind are often well overpriced however in this instance the ability to quickly use stalk controls to change tunes is a big bonus.

Sounds great - best of luck with the move!
