I would go and test drive it. If there is no chain rattle and it feels solid, buy it.
I paid 1800 for my highline just over a year ago. it had issues, but was well worth the money

bought it last night, the guy couldn't be more genuine, i was a bit sceptical, but his wife is making him get rid.. its absolute minted... looks like its just rolled out the showroom, before him,its had the same owner for the past 10 years,serviced every year and mot buy the same garage, every receipt for work done in that time... i even phoned the garage,and the owner said, the woman who had it insisted that it was genuine vw parts that went on, and it was well looked after! only done 10,000 miles in the last 4 years, full service.. etc!! no expense spared!!! all for the bargain price of £1000!!


now for coilovers lol! any tips of what 2 buy, or any one selling any? was thinking along the lines of an enclosed air filter like a viper.. but is it worth it?

The main issue at that mileage is the cam chain, has it been replaced.
