There's some comical stuff in that advert ... "1.9 diesel, very quick so it is"

Also, he's just "testing the waters". Makes me cringe just reading it. Bellend alert!

the only thing more comical than that is to reserve the "32" plate on your diesel glf when buying it new with the intent of turning it into a rep. i'd hesitate to do that if i had a genuine r32.

Eh, yeah. I kinda gathered that.

But in the advert he's claiming to have GTI suspension & brakes, and also says "GTI interior is in great condition". I don't know much about Golf's, but I seriously doubt whats in the photos is a GTI interior, hence asking those who might actually know.;)

"Well minded and much sought after 1.9l TDI 105bhp model, much cheaper to tax and insure than 2.0l model"

Much cheaper to tax, really?

In response to your original question, no, that is very much not a GTI spec interior

It also says it has Xenons, but they don't appear to be the right headlight either.

That ad has pretty much everything that I hate about DoneDeal right there. Arrogant prick of a seller who is just "testing the waters" (what the hell does that even mean; you either want to sell or you dont), with an overvalued "minter" (when is a second hand car ever mint?!!) and a rotten attitude. Add to that a series of dreadful pictures taken on a camera phone, and a mobile number without even so much as a name, and you have the reason why I cant be arsed trawling through that site most of the time. That car would want to be either exceptionally rare or exceptionally cheap to make me want to spend even ten seconds talking to that guy.

Nice of him to put the mileage in though! :pac:

Amazing how someone can write an essay for an ad, but not put in a crucial detail.

I'd love to find out where he gets these "150%" parts, would save me a fortune 'cause when I get new parts, I can only get them in 100%.

it's a free country, if a deluded seller want to see what kind of money he can get for his old golf, shure whats the harm.

Donedeal is basically the old BUY AND SELL, but online......full of oul' shyte being hawked by queestionable clowns.

Nothing ever changes.

Hate it or not, if you want to find a car- DD is where you'll find it, as it gets half a million irish views a day....if a car goes up for sale, it gonna be on DD.

At least he had the sense to keep it under 20 k , I'd say that was a tough decision for him.

As for the Golf R32, does he really expect to sell the car with that sort of description let alone the price....

Its at concourse money and isn't nearly in concourse condition.

It'll be years before they are worth that kind of money for an above average example.

With the right price that would sell but the current asking price is beyond a joke.
