Neighbor has informed me he's selling his MK4 TDi. I told him to give me first refusal which he has done just it came up far quicker than I thought/hoped for.
£1500
1.9TDI 130
Quick as a startled cat, really absolutely flies. Gotta have a map on it but the owner doesn't know himself although he's sure the previous owner might have. Been totally reliable. I stuck genuine front arms on it, Lemforder top mounts and Lemforder rear axle bushes on it this year. Cambelt was done 20k ago. Did the alternator pulley a while back.
147k miles I think but the thing drives amazing. Has full steering wheel controls, full screen on the dash and a 6 speed box. The displayed MPG is amazing and I know it does well.
Has corrosion on the front wing, I'm hoping/wondering if there's someway I can get my dealer who I'm pretty friendly with to push VW into a repair, it's on an 02 plate.
The only gripe is it's for the missus mainly and being a GT TDI for some reason she's expensive to get insured on it. Is affordable it's just a lot more than a non GT TDI etc. But I really like the car and know it well. It would be a full service and change a cracked headlight as soon as it came as well as discs and pads all round, stops fine, pads are fine, discs have a lip and they squeak. Rear discs are typically rusty.
Question is, is 1500 a good price, does seem to be....
