Goin to see a 1.8 gti today...

Non turbo, its got full service history, but its got 100,000 miles, my mum is goin mental at me for buying a car with this milage, but tbh with the fsh, and at only 1800, I don't see that much of a problem. Am I right or wrong?

Am I right or wrong?

Right

if its as good as it sounds £1800 will be a bargain 

lots of lads got 1.8T's with over 100K and running sweet

Exactly what I've said to her, atm i've got an 02 plate saxo vtr, which im struggling to get 2 grand for, even with only 57000 miles, the bloke is offering me an exchange on it, so i'm very happy with it tbh!

My 1.8t is on 139k with full history and it still runs great so i wouldn't be bothered by that mileage at all

Sounds like a bargain but get the turbo!!
