:laugh: at people who think "Dealer history" is absolute gold.

True, it will sell better to other who seem to think that way but honestly, I've seen "dealers" that have literally topped the screenwash up and changed two bulbs. Oil and filter still exactly the same along with the air and fuel filters. Straight into a technicians toolbox after investigation.

this is true bud but it also shows that the OWNER of the vehicle always intended the vehicle to recieve best possible service, its not the owners fault if VW are slack on servicing, the intention by the stamps is to ensure the vehicle has been looked after correctly

i know what you mean, service last week by a local VAG specialist showed that when i actually took it to the VW dealers for an oil change that they cross threaded the sump plug, couldnt figure out why it wasnt sitting properly and decided to fit two washes to tighten it up  :sick: photos were taken and im awaiting for VW's reply

After a bit of thinking I've decided to go with the black one.

Or would it be better to look for a newer one ?

Problem is though, at my budget of 1600 it will be hard to find a 2001-2002 with low miles at this price.

low mileage doesnt automatically mean brilliant engine, so be careful mate, i still think the silver one would be a better choice and before you buy please please PLEASE! check the reciepts and service bills for work carried out!

I partially agree with what your saying mate but the other car has over 40k more miles. So that's a lot more abuse it COULD have gone through.

The way I've been ripped off with cars recently I'm wary as to what I'm buying. I did ask the guy if he would hold the silver one for me until the end of the month but wouldn't without £200 deposit. As I havnt got that money it will have to go. So my next option is the black golf. As all others are ridiculous prices for what they are offering

thats cool mate and if any issues arise please come and post them on this sight as they could be minor and cost less than you think pal, especially after the fiasco with your last motor, just remember to check everything mentioned
