I get it needs NCT but that price cannot be right surely

Possibly a misprint, should be €16,100 maybe.

If its 09 then its not due an NCT until next year.

That's a fair point actually.

You should find a nice 2005/6 for decent money though gollywog tbh and some are still very well looked after

Golf gti is a weird bird alright. There are few 05 ones which go for normal reasonable 6-7k and then when you go 06 it goes up to 10-13k. Are there a lot of dreamers or they had some very serious changes and bug fixes in newer models?

I had this problem when selling my leon. Anyone here that seen it in the metal will tell you it was a well minded car. Anyway I got loads of interest when selling but most would try the ''well there is a similar one on donedeal or 2 grand less'' or ''my friend got one the very same last month for 1500 less''

Everyone wants an enthusiast car but only want to give the price the cheaper ones are going for.

I know you are looking for a stock car but most enthusiast's will have modded their cars some little bit. Thats what they do

Best of luck with the hunt!

I can appreciate that ofc, but until i see a car in the flesh i will assume all are in the same condition.
