I've got a buyer... erm ...
« on: 20 March 2004, 14:46 »
Someone wants my car for ?4000.

The buyer, whos wife used to have one wants another... she said she wants a black gti 8v on either P or R plate.

He said he'd have mine for ?4000... now the hard bit.

Ive got no cash. lol.

So, if I sold my baby, then Id have to find a car quickly, so ive searched my local area and came up with these that are ?4000 or under

Citroen Saxo VTR
Citroen Saxo VTS
Peugeot 106 GTI
Seat Cupra 2.0 8v
Vauxhall Corsa 1.4SRI (old style)
Toyota Yaris 1.5 VVT-I (high mileage)
Rover 25 GTI (High mileage)
Nissan Almera GTI
Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec


... should I sell and buy one of those? or keep my dub?

For ?4k, I'd take it and buy a nice ?3k car for yourself, giving yourself some spare cash.

?3000 will buy a very decent motor.

Yea true... but do I want a french lunchbox? or a Vauxhall boy racer mobile?

no .. I want a 1.8T mk4 next year.

But at the moment there are no vee dubs in my area around ?3000-?4000 for some reason.

Theres one or two mk2 drivers ... but the bodywork is shabby and they have 150,000 + on the clock ...

I want a another DUB! ... but ?4000 is a good amount for my motor... argh!!!

I had to travel for both my GTI's, my Mk3 was 40 miles away, and my Mk2 was 120miles away.

You could, take the ?4k, bank 3000 (to save up for your Mk4) then spend the ?1000 on a cheap Mk2 to run around in till next year when you want to get the Mk4.

if you buy a non VAG car then you will have to leave this site  as we would be fed up with the complaints of the build quality/sh!tty styling :-*

Seat? what?

Seat Cupra 8v = Poorer quality version of my current car... thats a step backwards.
