Title: Good deal or not? MK4 turbo
Post by: Burgo on 09 August 2007, 15:25: Hey,

Never posted before but have been browsing on the site for a while now, so hi!!

I have a quick question. I'm thinking of buying my mates mk4 1.8T with the following spec:

Golf GTi 1.8T 20v (150bhp)

1999, 3dr Dragon Green Metallic with 5 months tax (Nov-07) valid MOT until (June-08) and has completed 97k miles.

This is a genuine non modified and much loved original car that has served exceptionally well. Only one former keeper.

The car has a full service history with 10 stamps in the service book, the first 7 are the same Volkswagen main agent and the following 4 are from a local trusted garage, completed to required schedule. Major cam-belt service carried out last year including cam belt,ribbed belt,pollen,air,oil filters plus spark plugs.

The specification includes:

Black Recaro sports seats
16inch alloy wheels with front ToyoT1-R directional tyres
Anniversary badge set
Electric windows
Electric tilt and slide sunroof
Heated power adjustable door mirrors
Central Locking with remote control alarm (two key fobs)
Multi-function computer
ABS, p/steering, f/frog lights
Leather steering wheel and gear gaiter
Dark wood trim
Extra rear headrest and full seat belt
New floor mattÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s & winter rubber mattÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s
Driver, passenger and side airbags

Only negative is intermittent fault on rear wiper (passed MOT)

.
Vehicle comes complete with full Volkswagen book pack (owners manual, service book, etc)

Ã‚£3,850 ono

Is this a good deal or not? The car is mint and he takes really good care of it, is there anything i should be concerned about given the mileage?

Cheers!!

sounds a great spec. if your mate has looked after it then the engine should last fora long time. 100K is just about considered run in!

He has defo looked after it and the last 40k has been communting to Oxford from Reading for work everyday.

If i do get it i may be selling my mk3 8v gti with 92k if anyone is interested? Its an R reg so an end of the line model in Dragoon Green.

Would be looking for around Ã‚£2100 for it.
