Nav it's standard at the moment apart from headunit.

get some rims on there  :grin:.. they dont really need much modding they look good as they are  :cool:.. where as mk4's you always wana do stuff so looks diferent from one next to you  :laugh:

May leave it standardish for a while to be honest.

Nav - I picked up my Bora for slightly more than your budget.

They are out there, and make sure you do your checks, so many clocked TDIs around!

tell me about it tim... i know of many guys who clocked back there cars  :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:.. i always do that check before buying car  :wink:

Does this mean that the 51 plate beetle i brought the wife couple of months ago with no service history might have 180k instead of 80k on the clock  :angry:
can i check this with vagcom lite?

I brought it though BCA and you have to pay the indemity thingy that does checks for you, but i have the folder with the instructions etc but the service book part is missing that makes alarm bells ring :sad:

MOTs all add up but you can do alot of miles in the first 3 years of a cars life.

Ive got a 58 reg mondeo that ive done 69k in now from new and its first MOT is not due til xmas :wink:

I will have to try ringing VW to see if they have any history, do they charge for this?

no mate its free...


by sounds it all the GOOD car makers.. are going cheap  :angry:... there gonna loose loada strong and reliable rep they built up over the years
