Hi
I am new, I had a 1996 golf VR6 highline back in 2000 and to this day (other than my lotus exige and on a par with my 205 gti 2.9) it has been the best car that I have owned. I am now the not so proud owner of a greedy Vectra which I want rid of. I am thinking about getting a Golf again. I have about £6000. I am after a 5 door car as I have a baby on the way. I am after something that I won’t hate going to the petrol station in, efficiency is a priority I would also like it to be a bit nippy.
Any suggestion on what car/model to get?
-
Welcome :smiley:
£6000 will get you my car and plenty of change :grin: :grin:
-
Hi bud, u could get a mk5 GT TDi for under 6k if u shop about

It is for sale
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=162014.0
Ignore that price as that's a price I was looking for with everything still on the car
A few bits are being removed at the moment - namely wheel spacers, boost gauge, steering wheel and interior trim around the radio. Also I'll be removing the stereo and re-fitting the original unit. Wheels may also be up for sale unless a potential buyer gives me close to the price I'm after for the car
MY details are in the ad so if you're interested drop me a line :smiley: Otherwise good luck in your search for a Golf :afro:

Hi thanks for the link, i may of been interested with all the gear on but without all the gear it is a bit old and tired lookiong, (no offence, so am i!) also it has more miles than i was looking for.
I would want a 50-60k miler. bout a 55 06 plate ish. it is mainly for the missis to run the nipper around in. i just hate this damn vectra.
I was looking at the audis also but to get a face lift model (big round grill) you are talking mega money.

No probs - I'm taking some stuff off so it appeals to a wider market really. Mechanically it needs nothing doing :smiley:
Funnily enough I'm selling up and replacing it with an Audi :grin: :grin:

Slower than a slow snail. They aren't turbo charged. Much better going for a TDI; better performance and economy :smiley:

welcome along :cool:

looks like the vectra is going to go, the missis is in to getting a TDI. if anyone knows of a decent one please let me know. budget is about 6k
