There is good news. Suzuki's Ruth John says: "In the case of a manufacturing defect within the warranty period, Suzuki Australia will certainly honour the warranty. In terms of the missed service, it isn't an issue in this case as the missed service in no way contributed to the transmission issue."
I would not buy a Golf in the second-hand $10,000 range. The Mazda3 is the best car but he'll probably get better value in a Swift, as it's a size smaller. Buying private will mean better value, but ensure he gets an independent mechanical check.
The Swift is good but the Honda Jazz is better and my recommendation.
The kilometres are less than the average for a 2010 model, and based on your description of the condition and the way it drives, you could ask $9000-$10,000.
I would take it back to the dealer, who should be able to identify what the gas is and where it's coming from. There have been no other reports to date at Carsguide.
