:welcome: to the club mate.

Plenty of bargain well-spec'd 197 out there at the moment just waiting for the right buyer. Definitely a buyers market for the 197s now-a-days.

Which golf GTi do you have.
I came from the mkiv 20v 1.8T and the 197 feels alot quicker and you get alot more for your cash.

Looks ok and a fair price for a dealer.

I'd say that's quite expensive for one of the first 197s. Being 5 years old you'll have to make sure it's had it's major service ie. Cambelt, aux belt changed etc. Expensive job (around £500). I reckon you could get money off that one or a better spec'd one for similar money.
