There is precisely one big bumper one in AutoTrader that is not obviously a wreck for anything like your budget.

Great cars but anything sub £1k is almost certain to have been thrashed, modified, neglected or otherwise abused. They're tough but even the newest are twelve years old so they're not invincible.

You might find one for your budget, but look hard, be fussy, and don't take just anything because it's a GTi.

im not intrested in JUST the gti, although its preferred due to being injected, the 1.6 driver would be of intrest, it has to be fairly powerful for motorways and its going to be hauling a lot of weight most of the time, with the boot being huge, this helps :)
