The time has come for me to sell my golf :cry:, be sad to get rid of it but got a baby coming, needs a new abs sensor, front pads and its good to go, it's all solid underneath (which is a surprise)
Think I'll still hang around here and I'll def be staying vag!
-
What's next? Passat? Bora?
-
It's between a cupra, passat, a4 and maybe a bora or a3
-
Seems to be a migration towards Bora's at the moment, quite fancy a passat myself.
-
Leon, A4 Avant or Passat estate for me. Baby tat is mahoosive.
-
Avant's nice but you get more bang for your buck with a passat.
-
I suggest you buy a B4/B3 Passat Estate. I have had one for over two years and am very happy with it. Very quiet car. Try to find a diesel and you will be very very happy-I believe the Umwelt is recommended. Tons of room and a very good car. I have the 2.0 petrol (AGG engine).
-
Seems alot of people selling up. Mk3s in good nick a very far and few between now!! Maybe even become more sought after haha.................
-
B3 pissrat estates in a decent spec and colour are bloody hard to find now, ive been trying!
-
they are around, but the diesels are hard to come by and understandably so with 50mpg. My petrol gets half that...:)
-
It would have to be a TDI GL with air con if I was buying one.
-
I bought a b5.5 TDI sport wagen recently with all the toys and its a great car, planning on keeping it for years. Getting out of my mk3 and into that is like sliding into an armchair with a paper and slippers and a cup of hot chocolate after a long day!!! :nerd:
Not selling my mk3 just yet, but i do admit the thought of a mk4 gttdi with that little bit more refinement and 50-60mpg does cross my mind from time to time!
-
A mk4 golf is one thing I won't be getting :grin:
-
How about an Audi S2 Avant (based on an Audi 80 shell) for between £2.5k and £5k? You can insure it on a classic policy if you're of a certain age. Fast, practical and fun.
Otherwise you can pick up the Audi 80 Avant in 2.8l Quattro or even a slow as crap 1.9TDI if economy is your concern? Parts are cheap and widely available and they are easy to work on. More interesting than a Passat that's for sure but each to their own.
Sounds bizarre I know but what about a Mondeo ST220 Estate? Not my cup of tea but you can pick them up very cheap and they are pretty rapid and they have the space you are looking for.
-
Put the car in the classified section before I ebay it, and not after any sort of estate, I think the standard looking cupra is my first choice, something newish and comfy but can be easily played with
-
My 1.8T Passat is fantastic!
Get a remap and you will have 180bhp or more if its a newer model than mine.
The car is super comfy but still handles well.
Loads of room if you are doing things like a run to the tip etc.
-
Is there alot more room in a cupra compared to a mk3 golf? or do you just want something newer?
-
Yeah there is up front and the rear very slightly but the boot is pretty big cconsidering it's not an estate.
-
Just more doors and newer really, god knows how long it will take to sell my 3 though, I'm not gunna let it go for peanuts

I'm surprised why the Mk3's dont sell that quick, i mean Tweed is selling is VR6 for peanuts, I've got my own VR for sale at a good price and am willing to drop it lower if i get genuine interest. and they not selling.
I've got 2 micra super S's, one's a K10, the other K11. I sold my K11 2 days ago, it were on ebay for 3-4 days and it got sold really quickly. i've got 2 potential buyers interested in the K10 also. and i'm still getting calls for the K11 asking if i've still got it. ohh and i've got these micras advertised at £1500 each. one has gone, the other will go soon :smiley:

Expensive to run

Expensive to run
For what they are yes...insurance/parts/tyres and highish tax means no one wants them unless its got sixteen valves and no rust.
