Looking to buy a mk2 GTI

[Ninja]

Yeah defo, would be looking for some nice bbs wheels along the way anyway i reckon. 159,000 miles too much? Only thing holding me back, heard they are pretty bullet-proof it maintained well though... Long journey next weekend anyway, 1hr 15mins on plane from Edinburgh to Birmingham and then 40mins on train to Worcester  wish me luck 

Mines on 150,000 and its still going strong. I've heard they will go on til 250k, so 159K really is not much.. especially for a 20 year old car! I mean what's that?.. 7950 miles a year? Thats a low miler!

Phoned up.. deposit has been paid by some1 else  Need some advice.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200395798107&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123         Any advice on whether its worth it... have about 2200 to spend so any little things will be sorted with extra cash from buying a cheaper car. Its a 2 litre engine but looks like somethings missing?? Maybe its just me?? cheers guys.

Hi there, just registered, looking for a 3dr black 16 valver to get me going. What do you people think?  http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1299598.htm

G60 conversion, needs a little work - but looks pretty good for the cash. (bit over your budget however)

Nice example, but would lose the single headlight grille and get the standard one. (I love standard  )

No worries mate. I prefer 5 doors, so naturally I picked those

Haha ok nae worries... what do you think of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350266690428&fromMakeTrack=true   .... 2.0l 8v faster than standard 1.8 16v?

That's a very nice car.. and a good question.

I've been told you can expect around 140bhp from a 2.0 8V, where as the 1.8 16V has 139BHP standard.

Not to sure on that spoiler though!
