I recently bought a Y-reg Mk 4 Golf GTi T 180. It is registered as Cat D. I paid £4900. I only bought it as i feel I can make a profit on it ( as soon as log book arrives from DVLA its being advertised). The story is that the engine caught fire whilst being driven by the previous owner. It was written off. It was replaced with a 04 1.8T Bora engine that had been chipped to 180 with 17,000 miles on the clock. The replacement engine was fitted by a main VW dealer in Newcastle. I have the reciept for this. A digital mileage correction needs to be done to change it from 76000 to roughly the 19000 that its done now. I took a chance buying the car but it drives great and have had no problems whatsoever. Its the 2001 exclusive model so its got the recaro sports seats and uprated Gamma system. I have previouseley had a 2.0GTI mk 4 and apart from the leather this car is just as good. Its also got upgraded RS4 18" alloys. Apart from this is standard. Engine is in mint condition and bodywork is good too. Id have no quarms about keeping it but Ive got my heart set on a Black Tdi as this is indigo blue and a bit thirsty on the juice for me. It does about 315 miles for a full tank which is about right according to threads on here from other owners. Anyway just wondering what you peeps think i should be asking for? As i said the car is great. Remmember I want to make a profit lol!! Thanks guys- Jonno
