Jsut found a golf R, 15 plate I am going to purchase

Reg- VU65XHZ

65k miles

DSG

Full VW history.

Anything I should be wary of, and what would be the price valuation of this car, any ideas ?

Is it stolen?

[s p a c e m a n]

Why are they selling it after only 4k miles and less than a year?

Has it got new tyres on it? Advisory on mot makes it sound like they were making use of the 4wd.

Yeah all four new tyres have been put on, nothing has come up to indicate it being stolen. What makes you say that ?

Cool - nothing much to add, I just see them pop in quite a bit on a dodgy cars page (FB).

DSG servicing done on time?

Good find! That is suspicious that the previous owners are offloading so soon.

[nick1871]

Maybe the previous owner was cashing it in due to the value increase.. many others have done the same.

[s p a c e m a n]

Well, are they selling it for more than £16k?

[Jamescrs]

The price seems about right in the current market IMO

It’s done 60k miles and needs new rear tyres, I wouldn’t consider that abnormal on any car.

[s p a c e m a n]

Think it needed 3 and they were all outer edge which says enthusiastic cornering to me, and at 60k miles and a few owners there's no way they were original
