    If you're going to lie in your car sales advert, be smart about it people...

    I've been looking around for a cheap golf mk5 gti as a daily while my motor is getting rebuilt. I came across this advert on gumtree which made me laugh so I thought I'd share...

    Note the Brand New DSG Transmission and the 120,000k's...



    if you are going to claim something in your sales advert its probably best not to put a receipt photo up that says your car has done 200,000k's and has a 2nd hand transmission...

    Is there such a thing as 19" GTI rims? They'd be reps wouldn't they?

    $8.5k for a 15yo car is a bit nuts.

    This Octavia Vrs manual for $5900 might fill the bill.

    I can fit a set of 225s across the back with room for tools, jacks and fuel cans and still have room for 5 pax.
