This car was owned by a friend who was the first to import. He has moved on to a Golf R and part exchanged this car in to myself. The car is well priced, although no reasonable offer refused.

Bad points:

– Genuine Omanyt alloys could benefit from a refurb
– Front suspension rattle, suspected drop links.
– Headliner starting to sag a little, common fault on these and easily rectified.
– Worn driver side seat bolster, although no rips or tears.
