hey guys. New to the forum and looking for a gti coming out of my current lease of a civic. Pardon me if this is a weird post but I really need some guidance from gti owners.
Anyway I went to the dealership this past weekend looking for a gti s manual with lighting package. I love the cloth plaid seats. I found one, liked it, and got a pretty fair price.
So fast forward to last night. I found a new 2015 gti se loaded with 5k miles on Craigslist from a guy who wants to get rid of it for a gti r. Downside to me is its leather instead of the cloth but I may just be picky.
I've never bought a used car privately so I'm asking you guys what price should I be looking to offer on a model like this. After researching new prices at my local dealership I think it valued new around 32k?
Since my budget was for an s I was looking to spend around 25k. Would this offer be insulting to the gti se owner?
Also is the upgrade from an s to se really that big of a difference for a casual driver?
