The 2007 Volkswagen Golf carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volkswagen Golf is also known as Volkswagen Rabbit, Volkswagen Caribe in markets outside Australia.
The Volkswagen Golf 2007 prices range from $2,860 for the basic trim level Hatchback 1.9 TDI Comfortline to $10,670 for the top of the range Hatchback R32.
I would really question what you have been told, so I would get a second opinion. If it is correct and you want to get rid of your car the best way would be to trade it on another car.

Having fielded many reports of the DSG gearbox playing up we have reservations about it. Owners have reported clunky shifting, selection of the wrong gears, even selecting neutral when you least need it. We also have a copy of a service alert to dealers about oil penetrating the gearbox wiring loom and affecting the operation of the gearbox. The alert notes the following possible problems:
. Gearbox does not change correctly and intermittently jumps between gears.
. Gearbox changes are hard and jerky.
. Gearbox jerks in overrun during a gear change.
We have also had more than one report of the gearbox going into neutral, in one case when the driver was making a right turn, leaving him exposed to oncoming traffic. It's not possible to say if a car will develop these issues or not, but you should carefully assess the operation of the gearbox when you test drive a car, and quiz the seller on any issues they have had with it.

We haven’t had any reports of failures of the door locks you mention, but I would appeal to VW to reconsider its decision. You have reported a problem with the door lock, presumably that was while it was under warranty, so you have grounds to claim it should have been fixed under warranty.
