hi all,
buying a 02 gti tomorrow, its got 109,000 on the clock and in great nic. What kind of mileage are these cars good for, if looked after well? reason i ask is that im paying 3300 euro for it and want to know how any years i might get out of it

good for over 200,000 and the rest as long as its looked after..
-
Mine thing is check all the history, see if it has had a cam belt and water pump recently also check for any record of the oil pump pick up pipe being replaced.
109k is not a lot of miles if it has been looked after.

thanks. timing belt was done at 84k so was the pump. he said he had to change out all the coils as two went at two different stages so he just changed them all out to be safe

Looks tidy, take it for a drive, and get it plugged into a laptop if possible to check for codes. But as far as a Golf goes, there pretty bomb proof.
And its been around the Nürburgring :rolleyes:
