Im looking at a 2008 gti, just wondering if there is anything in particular that i should be looking at or watching out for?

Good price or not?

they should be all standard apart from the Multifunction Steering Wheel.

Sounds a little pricy for a '08, is it Manual or DSG?

I have a '07 DSG, with a load of extras and last year I would have been looking at selling it for about 16k, by that reckoning 22k is a little much.

its a manual. looks clean but I thought that it was a bit pricey but had no idea what they actually went for

for 22k it would want to be loaded with extras and in showroom condition.

Have you considered the DSG version? before settling for a manual take a test drive in one ... you'll more than likely regret it later.

The DSG box is incredible. I could play with it all day.

never actually drove a dsg, never liked auto's so never gave it a thought really. Must have a look and see

34K on a 08, you'll have no bother at all finding 20Kmilers for the price of the one you describe. I agree with the DSG recommendation too, manual VWs are tripe compared to them.

Too expensive of the only extra is the mfsw. They were selling those new in 09 for €27k because of the mk6 launch remember so that price is well off in my opinion

I hate the way dealers list so called extras/features in the hope the more you list them ore attractive the car becomes,some of the ones listed above should be present on a 1,4 golf never mind a GTI.

Drive a DSG before you make another move,and not just a quick blast but try get an extended test drive on various roads and conditions you wont look back!
