Buy only with proof of timing chain and DSG work. The chain, the GTI tensioner and the dry DSG cause the big bills.

Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a GTI or Golf R, ask for DSG oil and clutch history. Clutch debris from about 70,000 km can damage the mechatronic.
- Clear the scuttle drains under the wipers. Lift the floor mat and smell for damp. Water in the footwell is a reason to check the fuse box and the control units in the driver footwell for corrosion.
- Check springs and dampers, and drive shaft boots. Torn boots are normal wear from about 150,000 km.
