Good luck trying to find a GLI for 7k. You'll have better luck finding one on craigslist. Vilseck auto sales just sold a 05 GLI for 14k, and I just bought my 20th a month ago for 9k.
The next question is, where will you be located? My best advice, scour craigslist, autotrader, cars.com, etc if you're stateside.
