What would you buy for £500
« on: 19 February 2007, 00:47 »
Have decided that i need another Golf, fed up of driving my Pug306 Dturbo which i am now selling.
I have a budget of £500 (maybe a bit more depending on car and condition) and was wondering what people would opt for.
thinking maybe a Mk2 8v Gti or a cheap Mk3, maybe a Vento?
What would you buy for the money? MUST BE A VW THOUGH not some ford Cr*p.
