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

If it's as sound as it appears that's not actually a horrendous price, either.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Just out of interest which way in value has the car gone since selling it, just out of curiousity£££
Thank you

It was mint. I bought it with 80k on it at the time. There was no rust, everything that needed doing was done and replaced with genuine VW parts etc.

I sold it back in August 2011 to a teach from down south for £2300, was on this forum's for sale section for ages at 2500, had alot of lookers but no takers.

That is not badly priced, looks very clean and tidy
