Obviously golfs have high mileage as they are like tanks but is there a certain amount of miles you should avoid on one?

E.g. Don't touch one past 150k?

as long as its been well looked after then i shouldn't think mileage should be a problem.

Don't get the loan, speaking from experience, as next year u will just add a bit more for the years insurance, then a bit more for mods, then you'll be payin £200 per month for 25 years haha!!!

Just spends the extra time Savin by lookin for a well looked after motor, one will come to when your ready to buy

I should have about 800 quid saved at the end of the month and its my bday on the 30th so about 900 I am hoping.

If not may do the year loan as my littlewoods thing expires soon and that was 30 quid a month lol
