Description

2008 VW Golf GTI - 140,500km

Selling my 2007 Golf GTI. I’ve owned it as a fun, reliable daily and it’s been a great car to live with. It drives really well and has been dependable the whole time I’ve owned it.

I’ve just put a fresh WOF and service on it for the next owner, so it’s ready to jump in and enjoy straight away.

Cosmetically it’s tidy for its age, but I want to be upfront. The clear coat is starting to flake in a few spots on the front and wing mirrors, and the steering wheel could do with a repaint. Aside from that, the car presents well and still looks sharp.

It’s got a resonator delete and catless downpipes, which gives it a nice sporty sound without being obnoxious. Other than that its stock.

Only selling as looking for an upgrade. Listed at $9,700, open to reasonable offers and swaps/ trades

Any questions, send me a text on 0274781241

Hi there, has it been remapped to Stage 1 or stage 2? Stock downpipe, or upgraded downpipe? guistarplayer (132) • 11:49 am, Sun, 1 Feb

It hasn't been remapped but the cat has been hollowed and it has a new flexi pipe. Plus the resonator has been removed. breakingwaves (165) • Sunday, 1 February 2026
