The Golf is a broad model range rather than one single car to own. A modest petrol hatchback and a high-performance version may share a name but little else in cost.
Identify the exact version
Before comparing prices, establish engine, power output, trim, gearbox and wheel size. This affects value, servicing, tyres and insurance.
Look beyond mileage
A higher-mileage car with consistent servicing can be a better buy than a low-mileage example with gaps in its history. Inspect how the car has actually been maintained.
Price the expensive items
Tyres, brakes, timing-related maintenance where applicable, clutch or automatic-transmission work and electronic faults can dwarf a small saving in purchase price.
A Golf badge covers a huge range of cars, so price the exact engine and trim you are considering instead of trusting a general assumption.
