MK4's are dirt cheap at the moment, particularly small engined ones which I'm guessing you'll be restricted to by your age.

As Daz says, eBay/Autotrader/Classifieds are your best bet.

Low milage is very rare in a mk4 now.

good luck finidng one. remember though, its not the milage its how its been looked after. i know people with mk4s on 200k+ still going strong and equally iv seen people on here with mk4s that are less than 100k having problems....

+1 just make sure whoever has had the car has done the major things at the right times and you at least have some recent service history or receipts for work done.
And above all else - LOOK for common things that go wrong with the car and if in doubt ASK, there are far too many people buying cars without seeing them and hoping for the best!
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
