First of all I am new to the forum, and I am looking to purchase my first car. I've been looking for quite a while, and perhaps the reason I haven't found something is that I don't want to rush into a dumb purcahse. So here I am asking advice.
I found an 06 GTI (2.0T with the dual-clutch automatic) listed for $3375 that I am seriously considering. Mileage is 158000, but the owner claims it has been "well cared for" and that they are mostly highway miles. They also say it comes with "Michelin pilot sport tires."
As for the issues:
There appears to have been some problems with the drivers side wheels and suspension system but only on the left side?? The owner lists that both left side wheel bearings have been replace and that the left front coil springs still need to be replaced. They also mention the brakes making noise.
Other things are: gas cap, purge valve, there is wear on the rear arm rest, and the headliner is coming loose slightly. Unfortuntely the seller only posted pictures of the exterior not the interior so I can only go off of his/her words.
So...whaddaya think? Good deal? What about the issues listed, they seem to be fairly simple fixes overall, but I'm no expert. If I do contact the seller what questions should I ask? Would love input!
