like a previous reply i too have a light metallic blue 8v gti on a H plate. i bought this car 11 months ago with 90k on the clock and a good amount of receipts for work done and all previous mot's. i paid ?1000 for it and while this was not the cheapest it was by far the tidiest i had seen in a long time, and certainly not the most expensive.

try and get one with the best bodywork you can, mine has two rust patched on the boot lid (soon to be eradicated.)

if you do fall foul mechanically, there are plenty of excellent spares new and secondhand available.

in this months PVW a guy is advertising his 16v for ?1650 ono and hes done a few tastefull mods to it

yes bodywork is the biggy. all mechanical parts can be replaced cheaply and easily.

rusted panels though are a different story.
