In anticipation of picking up a replacement next weekend my mk5 Golf is up for sale. To be brutally honest it's got it's issues but might make a cheap run around for someone. Available after the 10th October 54 plate 2 litre GTD Currently 201000 miles £250 collection from Lincoln The good: It runs reliably, I cover around 400 miles a week and it hasn't let me down MOT until 7th Jan 2021 Good MPG, I get 60-65 average a week Had new disks and pads all round in March. Also one new caliper The not so good: Due a service and (over) due a cambelt change Loses some oil Rear tyres drop pressure (I think due to the condition of the alloys) There is a knock when braking/over large bumps, I believe this is the exhaust (see advisories) There is some rust (see advisories) Body work and interior are not the best Rear wiper/heated screen don't work Aircon/heating only work properly for about an hour, I think this is a diverter flap that gets stuck blocking air flow Drivers door and one rear door need new lock motors Advisories from last MOT: Repair as soon as possible (minor defects): Headlamp lens slightly defective both (4.1.1 (b) (i)) Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories): Items removed from driver's view prior to test () brake pad ware indicator illuminated Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement both front (5.3.4 (a) (i)) Exhaust mounting defective centre exhaust clamp broken (6.1.2 (a)) Integral body structure or chassis corroded within 30cm of a mounting, but not seriously affecting overall security both sills (6.2.2 (d) (i)) Offside Front Integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced sill has a corroded hole but not within 30cm of a mounting (6.1.1 (c) (i)) Nearside Rear brake pads worn to a grater extent compared to offside and disc appears to have previously over heated. Front Service brake fluctuating, but not excessively (1.2.1 (e)) Probably not the most flattering of adverts ever posted but I wanted to be honest about the condition. Priced to reflect condition and mileage and you should get a good chunk of the cash back as scrap value if it doesn't pass the next MOT. Pictures of interior will follow if there is any interest:
Nothing to do with the sale but did I see you in your bus in Lincoln at some point this week??? if you see someone flashing in a white Lexus - it’s me
Let me know if you fancy a day trip to Lincoln Wasn't me, I haven't had the bus our for a few weeks now. I'll keep an eye out for the crazy lexus driver though Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
You've full on had your money out of that badboy!! How bad is the rust? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
Loved my mk5 2.0 gtd until the turbo finally went and I scraped it. Was still really tidy body and inside too. Rainbow blue metallic. Fond memories of that car.
It's done me well to be fair, I would have kept it and seen what the MOT threw up but the replacement came up at a good price I can get some pictures of the sills when (if) it stops raining. They are good fun cars. I would definitely have another, going a bit more sensible with a Passat estate this time though Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
