Buying Advice.

Hi

I am new, I had a 1996 golf VR6 highline back in 2000 and to this day (other than my lotus exige and on a par with my 205 gti 2.9) it has been the best car that I have owned. I am now the not so proud owner of a greedy Vectra which I want rid of. I am thinking about getting a Golf again. I have about £6000. I am after a 5 door car as I have a baby on the way. I am after something that I won’t hate going to the petrol station in, efficiency is a priority I would also like it to be a bit nippy.

Any suggestion on what car/model to get?

It is for sale

Ignore that price as that's a price I was looking for with everything still on the car

A few bits are being removed at the moment - namely wheel spacers, boost gauge, steering wheel and interior trim around the radio.  Also I'll be removing the stereo and re-fitting the original unit. Wheels may also be up for sale unless a potential buyer gives me close to the price I'm after for the car

MY details are in the ad so if you're interested drop me a line    Otherwise good luck in your search for a Golf

Hi thanks for the link, i may of been interested with all the gear on but without all the gear it is a bit old and tired lookiong, (no offence, so am i!) also it has more miles than i was looking for.

I would want a 50-60k miler. bout a 55 06 plate ish. it is mainly for the missis to run the nipper around in. i just hate this damn vectra.

I was looking at the audis also but to get a face lift model (big round grill) you are talking mega money.

No probs - I'm taking some stuff off so it appeals to a wider market really.  Mechanically it needs nothing doing 

Funnily enough I'm selling up and replacing it with an Audi
