Title: What car would you buy ? & Why ?
Post by: JC on 30 June 2009, 17:27

Right then, views required, cos I can be influenced.  :grin:

Need to buy a motor for daily use,  :cool:

will have to haul 2 kids about from time to time.  :angry:

be a stand in for shows when the Mk2 fails again  :lipsrsealed:

lug toolkits around whenever guy needs  :tongue:

will be " smartened up " and thats it.

Passat has 61k fsh and 12 months mot

Polo 1.6 is robiwills on here and a 98, mot

others are ebay / autotrader.

Insurance costs arent too much of an issue being an knackered old coont, but the 1.4 polo  is cheaper tax, and more than likely fuel.

So, what to buy, and why  :undecided:

What spec is the B3? If mine hadn't have been rotten I'd still be rolling in it now. I loved that car. Quick, comforatble, loads of space and and looks the dogs with a drop. Joe will back me up on tis, there's just summet about them.

The other options depend on budget. Whats the budget?

Polos are sh1t and just as bad as mk1's and mk2's breaking down. Had many myself.

mk3's are comfy. Strictly 16v ABF and VR6 for me now. Shame the rot ALOT

Seriously though, hard choice between Pissrat and MK3. I'd probs go for the MK3 though, GTi innit.

Title: Re: What car would you buy ? & Why ?
Post by: dubcheryl on 02 July 2009, 20:45

A quick google would seem to say it is, is there anyway I can check it to be sure? It is the 1.9 TDI

Title: Re: What car would you buy ? & Why ?
Post by: Jay on 02 July 2009, 21:02

Usually on the engine block somewhere.

I need an AAZ head and it would seem a shame to break it. (I've already got a MK3 gear box on my MK2 )
