He should get loads of choice of 150k milers for that. If he is lucky and can wait for the right one he should get something with under 100k and not too much rust. You should go with him and help him pick a good one I reckon.

Congratulations on converting him too. I hope you have many happy hours working on your GTis together ahead of you - it is great having the same car as a mate.

Is he a member on here yet - if not get him to join up.

Yeah it's great ain't it lol. Took me ages to get him to get one. He has only ever driven a 1.1 corsa and a 1.4 standered mk3. So it will be his first ever fun car.  He's gona love it. And the fact it's an anni means hopefully he will think its extra special. He's well exited lol.

my mate picked up his anni today. very nice clean one aswell. in like a blue/purple colour that seems to change colour in the light.
totally nuts. lastnight he said to me wile drunk sod it mate im gona get a gti like you. then spent the morning on ebay and went to pic up a nice one for £670 with tax and mot this afternoon. less than 24 hours after saying it drunk he is now the pround owner of a very nice mk3. jammy git  :grin:

keep trying to get him to join here now but that is only a matter of time as he seems to have fallen in love with the car already.
already convinced him to buy coilovers next week  :grin:
