Tonight I have bought a 1999 1.8 T GTi 3dr in silver, totally standard car same owner 10 years FSH and serviced every 10k without fail, the car has covered 150k but runs like a swiss watch, long MOT and TAX and even half a tank of petrol :wink: stacks of history and last serviced 3k miles ago, very clean just a few marks externally, and alloys are abit tatty/pitted, will have a cambelt change before the end of the month...£870 sound ok?? Everything seems in order, it was driven back from Netherlands to Essex yesterday (It is a UK car and nothing has been changed)

I would of thought you could have a cambelt replaced for much less then that, is that from your local VAG dealer?
-
Think he means 870 for the car!!! Yeah that's cheap!!!
Good find and welcome!!!
-

-

Yeah £870 does sound cheap.. good luck with the new motor.

£870 seems cheap :undecided: is it 100% a uk car and spec.
-

Yes one hundred percent UK car and spec and nothing has been changed for driving on the right - Thanks I thought £870 was a decent price too but the guy had to sell it this week before returning to Holland for work - Pics to follow I promise :smug:

Welcome to the culb mate, I recently got mine too :)
-
noticed mk4,s getting cheaper and cheaper so yeah good price if ya happy with it

Here it is, 100% bog standard and thats how it will be staying, have to say for a 150k car it is very quick and seems a goodun except there is this annoying beeping when I indicate right?? Car will have new cambelt fitted within two weeks. I Paid £870 for her, long MOT and TAX, last serviced by VAG indy on 148k, I hope to wash and polish it over the weekend :smiley:

About £8 each from the dealers Don't buy after-market ones they steam up :smiley:
-
Good purchase mate, looks in good nick

Update* I have been running above said car for 3 weeks now, done about 300 miles and all seems ok except a slight exhaust blow exposed by a blast on the M25 this week and a rattle/knocking from the steering column area when I start it??
Cambelt changed 2 weeks ago. A few squeaks and creaks on the bumpy roads around town, coming i think from the front offside, but some of the side roads near me are like that you would expect to find in a developing country, this car certainly picks up every bump in the road!
