will i notice a huge amount of difference between the 130bhp and 150bhp??
« on: 20 September 2006, 17:06 »
looking around at the moment, seen a really nice gt tdi 150bhp but its on the expensive side at £9500 for one thats done 78k, however seen a 130 for £6500 with 80k and a 130bhp with 44k and thats £7900.  Just not sure what to do or whether i should hang on a few weeks and wait for a 150 to turn up.  Ideally id like one in black 3 door which the £9500 is. 

Any advice is much welcome??

thanks

best thing to do is to drive them both to see which one you like.

I haven't driven the 150 but obviously mid range grunt and the top end are improved over the 130 but there may be more lag.

alternatively get the 130 then get it re-mapped.

Just remember to tell your insurance  :rolleyes:

you will probably notice about 20bhp difference.

you want a 3 door black one you say, mint condition, stunning car?

Having had a 130 and 150 I'd say buy a 130 and just get it remapped.  The money you save can then be spent on the chassis.
