Advice Buying 2005 instead of 2007/08 for the right car ?

[Punishment]

So after months of saving i finally start viewing GTI's with cash next weekend and i have been trying and trying to find a nice GTI with the extra's i want to no avail, so on an Irish enthusiasts site i saw this and i was wondering if the price is right (under 10,000) and milage is reasonable like 130,000kms would i be.

Settling for an older car when i could have a more ordinary 2007

or

Buying a unique motor which i will get 3 happy years out of.

Thoughts freddies ?

Yellow callipers? Ugh

Been on sale for more than a year. Which means it's overpriced.

It looks fucking horrible.

Was talking to owner who seems like a nice guy price is reasonable about 85,000 miles on it now, will view it when im in the big smoke.

Also i think the yellow calipers look great with the black winter wheels

Extra's list on it is amazing

And Tom's point is valid. If it's any good it'd have gone by now. No more than on sale for a couple of months or GTFO.
