Pete91 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Check which gear box it has. The 5 speed box had a lot of issues which were sorted with the 6 speed.There a rather lovely silver Gti for sale in the classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Does it really though? Because it's not the same as the Polo GTI 5 speed 'box is it.Regarding what to look for specifically on a GTI, it's been answered loads of times before so try the search, but off the top of my head... check the doors, front wings and bonnet are all original aluminium parts; check for paint bubbling on the rear spoiler and that the third brake light is working, and check the xenons and headlight washers are working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Dunno. Most folk say the 5 speeds weren't that great and the 6 speeds were better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
