Something decent for £2300?
« on: 31 March 2009, 13:15 »
Are prices still cheap for 1.8ts? I've only got around the above to spend & wondering if it's possible
to get a clean turbo for this amount.

Thing is i really want a motorbike again so it's either this or the bike, i'm hoping this tho.

Cheers.

might get a early AGU with high miles for that mate but it will prob need things doing etc maybe wait and get another £700 as £3k will get u a better car (maybe even a k03s AUM!)thats been better looked after and will (prob) give less hassle later down the line  :cool:

Cheers for the reply, could probably stretch to just over £2700 if that changes anything?

I thought they were much cheaper nowadays anyway? :tongue:
