yeah mate that was on there ealy last year cos i had a quick look.
£20,000 is a lot of money to blow and then sell it for under £7000(i guess ?) seems a bit dodgy to me

Yeah seems dodgy I must admit, what would you guys recommend? Taking down an expert? Running it on vag com before buying it?

I'll give the guy an e-mail and ask if he would mind me doing those and also a drive of it before purchase.

any modded car looses value, would defo recommend getting someone who can have a good look over it even if you stump up for a rac/aa check

yep i know that my evo was £34,000(with the ralliart extras) and i spent £16,000 on it(AP Racing brakes, new intercooler,de cat exhaust, Work Meister wheels, 2k stereo system etc......) and sold it for £19,000  (chassis was slightly twisted(after sum silly bint pulled a u-turn on a dual carriage way) and wanted to tune it up more but was advised to get rid )

It just seems a bit excessive on a tdi(on top of the cost of the car)
