^^ not a bad price  :smiley:

If you can get over it sounding like a tractor, then go for it.

Exactly! That's always put me off diesels before but this one is a black five door that's nearby and it's at least one of the PD models :afro:

Taken a deposit on the Polo and had a look at a few Golfs that were not quite what I was expecting.

May have a look at this GT TDI within the next day or so:

I've never driven a diesel, no one in my family has ever owned one either.... Anything I should be wary of for a diesel?

Do you cover a lot of miles if not then stick to petrol.

That has a lot of miles on it.

Well not a lot but I do do long journeys. It's just this one seems to tick most boxes and the asking price is more affordable

That's silly cheap  :shocked: :shocked:  And it has 16 inch alloys, not 17's

I'd question why the H/G went as they are not known for it  :undecided:

Called the guy and it was sold, except that he was still having people view it... So I couldn't be arsed going to look at it and have a bidding war :laugh:

But I have given a deposit for a 1.8 I had a look at earlier in the week in Bradford and hopefully will get my Polo sorted beginning of next week to hand over to the chap who gave me a deposit.

Anyway... The Golf I have bought (or intend to at the moment) is a little older than I have been looking at - S Reg - and is definitely in need of a service, but it's dead cheap and so I can think of it as a banger.... But a nice Mk4 banger :smug:
