OK so I am off shortly to look at a Mk3 ( I think) golf diesel estate ( non turbo) P reg.
SUPPOSED to be bodily and mechanically very good..BUT it has 233,000 miles on the clock....Now I know diesels absorb mileage very well, but should I be looking for anything apart from the obvious rust, leaks and smoke? because I have never owned a VW before, so its all new to me!!!

Check its history. Make sure its had a cambelt. If it hasn't recently get one done. Or just do it anyway ;) keep it well serviced, look after it and it will go on and on and on :)

well went to see it .. and I've never seen a chicken shed on wheels before :shock:
and also had an 'interesting' rattle from the engine/gearbox.. I enquired what it was and got " Oh they ALL do that" :doh:
I think the line the news papers use is " I made my excuses and left"..VERY rapidly.
Oh wel the search is still on!!

hi out of intrest what was the price??????

233,000 miles is a LOT of wear and tear on small vehicle, must looked RAF inside, imaging the steering wheel worn away like a sucked polomint.

£550 or offers.. I was polite and DIDN'T offer what i though it was worth :lol:
Well I have just been and brought a Renault scenic 1.6 RT 1999 On a T plate for LESS money, it has 88,000 on the clock - remote central locking - twin electric sunroofs, leccy windows and mirrors - 11 months MOT and 4 months Tax, and doesnt smell like a tramps vest ...
