Hi new here wanted some help I'm 17 just passed and love MK4 golf where can I get one under 2k and low millage ?
-
Classifieds on here, ebay and theres loads of vag sites for sale on faebook if u type vw for sale in the search bar on there : )
-
MK4's are dirt cheap at the moment, particularly small engined ones which I'm guessing you'll be restricted to by your age.
As Daz says, eBay/Autotrader/Classifieds are your best bet.
-
I bought my MK4 on Gumtree. So give that a try too.
-
Low milage is very rare in a mk4 now.
good luck finidng one. remember though, its not the milage its how its been looked after. i know people with mk4s on 200k+ still going strong and equally iv seen people on here with mk4s that are less than 100k having problems....

+1 just make sure whoever has had the car has done the major things at the right times and you at least have some recent service history or receipts for work done.
And above all else - LOOK for common things that go wrong with the car and if in doubt ASK, there are far too many people buying cars without seeing them and hoping for the best!
-
How many previous owners would you guys suggest is too much?
-
I wouldnt worry how many owners its had focus more on service history and condition, plus your 17 i doubt if u buy a 1.4 golf etc you wouldnt plan on keeping it for ages would you ?

Ksab isn't the one buying the car :smiley:
But 41 would be to many :tongue:
-
If u find me a car thats had 41 owners ill eat my hat haha
-
doesent matter how many owners.
a car could have 1 owner but that owner could have raged it around for 200+k, equally a car could have had 15 owners but each one has been a lady driver that has used it to tootle around town for a few thousand miles each owner...
also if your looking for a smaller engine mk4 beware of the chocolate gear box.
and if your looking for a bigger engined mk4 beware of the insurance costs :D my first year was £££3000+ :D (i knew the price before i bought the car but had the money sitting there so thought why not i can afford it...

Wow. £3k!
Hope that insurance cover came with lube.
Saying that I was paying just over £2k for a 1.2 mk1 punto.
