Hopefully this works....

I am just about to purchase this car from a family member.

Im pretty sure its the bottom of the range 1.9 tdi. 70k miles.Very very good price.....but anyway....

Fisrtly,what are the immediate things i should do to make this car look better inside and out.What weels etc etc pics would really help.

Dont know if im taking the p*ss but i searched the www and this website came up trumps.

Hope this link works.

i do question myself about the dents,apart from somone running up the car,i cant think of logical ay for that to happen.
Also quite bad scratches on every panel,but like i said family etc etc.

So,anyone help,?

Finally,thanks.

The one question i have is....does putting 18s make the ride too hard?

[Manu_R32]

no....the R32 and ED30 come standard with 18s and is even an option on most other Golf models. If 18s would make the ride too hard i dont think VW would offer them?
