Saxo is sold.  Hoorah!

Now to unleash my full potential at car shopping.  Well, me, the internet and a mobile phone.  :grin:

Hopefully off to see one next wknd and will also try to get up to Essex for a couple there.  Must remember 50mph on the crossing, 50mph on the crossing, 50mph...

If I were you I'd travel nationwide....

Don't care where I go t get the right car.... :)

IMO there is no need to travel nationwide, there are plenty about. Especially in the Kent / London / Surrey / Essex part of the UK.

They aren't all high mileage. There are loads with less mileage. Priced between £4500 and £5000 there plenty with less than 80k

a lot of MKIV's were company cars so you'll find a few with high miles

plenty out there though with average miles for the right price - just got to keep looking  :smiley:

took me nearly 3 months of searching to find mine

I found the same problem when looking for mine - loads of high mile turbo's. Nearly brought a 2.0! but glad I didn't as I would of regretted it I think, After about 6 weeks of looking finally found my 2001 1.8T with 53k on.
