Well, I am the proud new owner (or at least will be next Saturday when I can pick it up) of a 2002 Silver GTI :D
Looked at 5 cars today, and this was the stand out, despite it not having the recaro's I had my heart set on. This one was just in too great condition.
I'll post some pics next weekend, but it is a very stock affair in very clean condition.
Thanks again to everyone who posted some great information in this thread, it was a big help!!

Cheers

This is a great thread and I myself was thinking of buying a MK4 GTi very early next year and I just had a couple of 'super newbie questions' to add to this thread.
1. The MK4 GTi's only came in five door in Australia yes?
2. Did only the 99-02 have the spoiler lip and the deep recardos (I know it was asked earlier in this thread but I was abit confused)?
3. Did all Mk4's had the 1.8 litre turbo with 130kw and weighed 1300kg?
Sorry about these newbie questions I know some were answered before - I just wanted to clarify.
Cheers,

Hey Jimbo!
Welcome mate... as one newbie to another, let me just say that this forum and it's members are a huge help!
From what I discovered whilst finding my car to answer your questions (i don't claim i'm 100% correct however, this is just what I found in my personal experience)
1. Yes, only 5 door here in AU for the GTi, the R32 came in a 3 door.
2. My car is an 02 and doesn't have the deeper Recaro's (despite that being what I was really after) In fact, 2 01 model cars I looked at didn't have them either. So if you're specifically after those seats, stick to 99-00 cars.
3. AFAIK, the cars delivered here are the non drive by wire and are the 110kw 150hp versions.
Thats for the warm welcome Sierra055!
I did not relise the MK4 GTi's were only 110kw/150hp.
I thought they were all 130kw/180hp.
Can anyone clarify?
