Not long pickd up a 1.8t for £1500 with tax and mot. Body did have a few scratchs and brakes slightly siezed from sitting about but after 100miles or so of driving and they freed up easy.

well didnt go well 2day the turbo done 140 cant tell me when it tested to. been sat on his drive for 2 months. rear boot lock knackered he had to jump it off as it didnt start and body work not brill   with a few scracthes. so i asked him out of intrest and he said no he sticking with 2000 and he thinks he can get that :laugh: 2months shud have told him something. the search goes on but the 115 bhp is still calling as he offered a better price then before so i dont know whether to buy as a stop ga and save more for a decent turbo

I wouldnt bother, means you got hassle of selling on later.

Hold out and buy what you want first time :afro:

If your getting desperate and cant find a 1.8t, then get a 1.8 non turbo over the 2.0 really mate.
