    Trying to find a GTI - so damn hard!

    After waving a very sad goodbye to my GTI some time ago alot has happened in my life and now im on the lookout for either a Polo or Golf GTI, but i was surprised to find so few 9n GTIs for sale in QLD, they are as rare as hens teeth, and the ones that are for sale (3) are over priced if you ask me.

    Sigh i will keep watching the adverts and see what comes up, hoping i can get back into this forum section soon though!

    (happy wave to all you lucky 9n GTI owners!)

    jealous me!

    At least in QLD u have 3 with low low kms which is nice, down here in sydney they all have high kms! what spec are you looking for and how much do u wanna spend? ive had a look at a few down here and surprisingly the one with the highest kms has been the best. having owned one before, what do you think is the max kms you should buy a second hand one for?

    Yeah i did see that, there are a lot more available in NSW, i even looked into the hasstle of bringing one accross the border but after reading alot i thought better of it. Max Ks, ummm not sure really, only ever had a low KM one. Me personally i dont want anything over 100k.

    Yeah ks are high, thats fair enough, wouldnt scare me at all but you got to buy what you think is right for sure, and i agree i dont like the wheels either but thats easy fixed, change the wheels, if i could find spare resources i would have it anyway
    All good, good luck with the hunt mate

    Trying to find a GTI - so damn hard!

    Around what km mark are you looking for?? I've done 121,000 in 5 years, and I don't think that's too high on a car of that age.

    Probably anything under 100k really for me, but would rule out anything over 150k. But from what i know these cars handle the KMs well anyway, so its no big drama.
