Can buy mine if you like. 1.8T with 57k on the clock. Let you have it for £1500.

I paid £3k for mine 3 years ago with 1 previous owner, huge history and 50k on the clock. It now has 80k on the clock and if I stuck it back to standard I'd want about £1500 for it...not that I'm going to sell it :grin:

More like 4k to be honest, I'd never sell it as it is though so I'd see some of it back

I paid 900 for a y reg, fsh, 142k on clock, bit of cosmetic damage,drivers side sill dent,drivers side back wing dent & scrape,but engine is sound so cosmetic don't bother and it won't cost much to sortout.
