Any old car is going to throw up occasional faults. If you are reasonably handy, that's not a problem, but if you have to pay garage prices it could be expensive. Remember you can always buy more than one for less than a new car, so can afford to have one in reserve!!!

Is anyone else missing the irony of this thread ? As in, you had a mk4 die on you and you're asking about older cars ? :grin:

I ran a cab for four years & 40k miles without very little problems. I sold it with 132k on the clock and it's still out there spmehwre I think. Yes there is more chance of having issues than a newer car, but having said that how old was your mk4 and that's died !

There's a nice clipper in the for sale, I'll see if I can find it...........

....found it. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=103996.0 :cool:
