If its too good to be true? Then it probably is?

Often you see people selling Cat D's that have only had light work being sold in the average price range of the car.

If this one is as cheap as people are saying it is then there is probably more than meets the eye. Is it worth it? That money would buy you a lot of other cars!

Yeah, a nice 10year old V12 Merc 10 or a 15 year old V8 Bimmer :grin:

It does seem very cheap, have you HPI'd it?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

7.5grand would get you a lot more than a 10year old Merc.

Stoppit. Naughty thoughts are gathering in my little head.

How reliable are the MK5 GTI's at around 100k miles? (£5k-£6k mark)

Im no expert but im sure if they are well looked after they will go on like all of VW's safely tuned engines. Although might have more wear and tear due to turbo. Like i said, im no expert as never owned one.
