Why would someone want to swap for an older car?

People usually want to change cars for a reason ;)

Yeah I was wondering that too...said he had a mk3 in the past and wants another one...but I think you are right...I believe there are a probably a lot more things.to.go.wrong with his swap...why anyone would swap a mk4 diesel for an older petrol ?
