im gonna try get him down to about 4700 4800 u think this is likely, any known problems i should look out for

Check out Parkers guide and it will tell you how much the car is worth.

I got the same as what you are looking at, but without the leathers and had done 35,000 miles for £6,500.

Find out if the clutch pedel box has been changed cause all polo gti have a problem with this and i mean ALL. it should be covered under warrenty anyway.

oh what colour is it by the way??

Silver

I reckon if you can get the seller down to around £4700-4800 as intended, you'll have a good deal IMO

Good luck!

im so happy ive got a polo gti with leathers got it for 4750 not bad i think, are all the clutch fuckin hard as f**k or just mine

[metz]

is that a sign of the pedal box problem gti owners?

[Si_GTi]

Its naturally heavy, you get used to it the more you drive the car, but it would be worth double-checking that the pedal box recall work was carried out - pop into a local VW dealership and ask them to check the service history of your car and this will confirm whether or not the recall was done. Letters went out to all GTi owners at the time of recall but some will have inevitably been lost in the postal system/sent to a previous owners address (the latter if a sale was made at around the time of the recall).

Once you get used to it the clutch will become second nature, I don't really register the difference until I use a different car!

[clarky]

thanks mate ill ring up tomorrow, ive got a dump question how do i know if i have ac, the bloke said its got climate control, so does this mean i have a/c

[inder]

yep, climate control is air conditioning, but more 'funky' with a computer that controls in 'climate' inside the car, i.e. keeps it cool depending on outside temp, or set a temp that you want etc...

CLIMAtronic

[clarky]

so how do i get the bloody a/c on when i turn it to cold its not ice cold like ac is

[inder]

check your handbook that came with the car, there is a whole section on how to use CLIMAtronic in there

[clarky]

looked in there it seems to be a hand book for a normal polo not a gti

[inder]

should still be in there, page 64 in booklet 3.1 - controls and equipment

hope helps

[clarky]

whats the number i ring to find out if the pedal boz has been done
