Hi all!
To cut a long (and possibly boring) story short, I have a need for a run about car for about 6 months ish.... only to do like 15 miles a day whilst the wife has mine.
I work with in a primary school and one of the ladies there is selling her black golf GTI. Its a bit of a dog (bodywork is a bit groggy, on winter steelies, dent in the front wing from a fence) and its a highmiler at 130k on the 2.0 petrol engine. She is offering it me for what she has been offered trade in... around £400 - £500 pounds. Oh, its a 51 plate owned by her from nearly new.
I'm tempted as the history of it is very comprehensive and known.
Does this sound like a good buy? Also... are there any massively well known problems with these cars (ive never had a vw before)
