2006 MK V GTI - Low kms, candy white, manual, APR'd

[samps]

For sale, low kms 2006 GTI that I bought new from Sth Yarra VW in Feb 2006. I'm in SE Melbourne suburbs and looking for a genuine buyer.

Asking $27,000 with 12 months rego.

Details:

* Candy white 2006 GTI 6spd man with sunroof, cloth interior, 5 door
* 42,000 kms (I catch PT to work)
* Reg til Feb 2012
* 17" Denvers recently repaired/resprayed, as new condition
* Serviced at Camberwell VW and Volkspower for 6 monthly oil changes and mods
* APR Stg 2+ (Stg 2 remap, carbonio intake, turbo back 3" mandrel exhaust)
* Output: approx 188kW / 410Nm (flywheel)
* APR dogbone insert
* Whiteline adjustable rear swaybar on soft setting
* Running Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225s, approx 5000km duty
* Never been in a collision, extremely clean with very few stone chips
* Can supply stock items with mods


As you will see in the full service history, this car has had the steering rack, DV and aircon compressor replaced under warranty. I get the oil changed every 6 months with Castrol Edge Sport.

The car is dead straight with no scrapes (few minor scatches under front lip) and presents extremely well. I can refer you to Dean at Volkspower who knows this car very well if you want a second opinion on its the history. One of the first Mk5 GTIs to get the APR treatment.

Cheers

Paul

Ever considered parting out then selling?

[samps]

Sure, I've been asked a few times. If a buyer wants the car without mods I'll happily revert to factory then advertise the upgrades here.

Or are you suggesting I'll get more if I separate now, regardless? I weighed that up but didn't think it was worth it.

[Jacquesvdub]

I think that you would get that 27K plus the extra bits for you're aftermarket goodies. It takes a special kind of person to buy a nodded car. Jist my 2 cents. I'm sure there are a couple of people on this forum who would agree.

[Mr_Bob]

problem with parting it out, is that the reflash can't be on-sold.
and that means that if he reverts to stock, he can't re-mod it if the car buyer wants the mods.

[technopato]

Hey Paul... I am still interested in that exhaust and more so now coz a friend will take the DP... Let me know if you change your mind!!

[Jacquesvdub]

Let's go hypothetical for a minute.

The car goes a while without any bites. Then he can look at the pros and cons of his situation. Ie. Are the mods a deterrent? Would he be more successful in finding a buyer with a stock car?

And yes, I completely agree that the apr flash is something that if I had wouldn't want to get rid of it!


Damn you pato. I wanted the exhaust if he parted with it. :S.

[technopato]

Sorry Jacques!!! I need somethign a little louder than the RSC system i have over here... its way too quiet for me now!

[Jacquesvdub]

:). Its ok, I understand where youre coming from. I want more loud too :).

[samps]

I've got the RSC system on my Mk6 and although it's quieter it still has a good note at wide open throttle.

Jaques, can you PM me your best offer and I'll give it some thought.

[Jacquesvdub]

Sorry Samps, but if pato called dibs then I'm not going to snake it from him. Were Internet buddies haha.
Thanks for the consideration though.

Congrats on the sale. Was it a young man/woman who purchased it?

Just curious :).

[technopato]

Okay Paul.... I officially HATE YOU!!! I so wanted that exhaust.. lol..
Jokes!

Congratulations on the sale mate, looks like the new buyer will not have much to do to the car!

[samps]

Thanks Pato. Considering I was gonna keep it until I got offered a Mk6 GTI at a great price... nothing I would be doing if I kept it!
