Spent 1 hour stuck in traffic on the M27 last night to go to Ferndown to view a 16v mk 3 black gti from Autotrader for ?2495, was really keen , guy sounded very nice on the phone , car had only done 87k , fsh , etc pull up at the guys house, have a good look over body work , 1 quite nasty scratch on the rear wing , popped the bonnet ...............lo and behold ......an 8v engine , the guy was very apologetic said he didn't realise ( how could he not realise) :angry: by this point I was not a happy bunny .... and to top it all my bf's short wheel based audi quattro decided not to start up for an hour . :cry: beginning to think I am going to have to settle for an 8v , the engine looks so pathetic in comparison to the 16v tho .... wish me luck.

Oops ! :sad: Stick it out and find a 16V, you'll probably regret it if you dont :wink: Good luck in the search by the way :smiley:
-

that car u saw sounds almost like mine (apart from the dodgy engine..) i've had mine since Oct 2003.. and even then it was really really hard to find one with under < 100k on it... in the end i paid ?4500, and it had 75k on it (up to 82k now)... fully loaded with leather interior, air-con, sun roof etc...
btw was it badged externally as a valver?

No 16v badge on it

could be worse, my mate was looking for a 3 door mk2 in atlas grey, found a mint one, low mileage, full service, owned by a posh couple but he forgot to ask if it was 3 or 5 door. got there and found it was a 5. waste of a day! at least yours wasn't your fault!!
