May be switching to the derv side

Have had a very good px offer on my gti golf 1.8 20v non turbo. Have been offered near enough a straight sway for a gt tdi 130 model. has all the toys such as climate control, cruise control, sunroof etc etc. Only has 79,000 miles on the clock, fsh etc. Is in the good old reflex silver aswell. Will miss my 18" RS alloys though if i do swap, but want something quicker as the 1.8 non turbo is soooo slow, i really feel for the 2.0 owners.

Is the person willing to do the swap completely mad?

[alex160]

must be  . he hats the sound of the deisel, and he deosnt do enough miles to justify having the tdi, as soon as he heard the sound of mine he fell in love with it i think

I would've thought the 130 was faster

He says it's faster Ufo

Got to ask whats wrong with the tdi? it's worth a fair bit more then a 1.8 non turbo, sounds like it could be a good deal though

oh yeah...

It does sound a bit suss to me to the derv is defo worth more and is faster and has better spec by the sound of it

have you test drove the TDI??  make sure you do and test the clutch etc as they are expensive to replace!

but either way the other bloke is a complete fool    get the deal done if it drives tidy

I drove it today, pulls like a train lol, feels 10x quicker than my "GTI". he's just checking insurance etc this week but hopefully get a final decision saturday. Clutch felt spot on etc, all i can say if i get this bad boy then first mod is REMAP!!!
