There's a really nice Arosa TDI on ebay at the moment. Only downside is that its in Ireland

But its much cheaper than book price & it wouldn't cost more than £500 to import it

Search for Arosa TDI on ebay, there aren't many on there

Your not going to get near a GTTDI golf for 3k! 306 dturbo's are cheaper than hdi's for obvious reason

Arosa's are fairly spacious for what they are! The TDI is the one to go for aswell!

The hdi, is the newer more refined engine, quiter, not mechanical, you have to get a remap to realise more horses. dturbo, is old mechanical engine, which you can tweek turbo and fuel pump for free, sounds more like a tractor though, but are dirt cheap these days.

go for the 306 hdi,i had the older dturbo,was nippy enuf but as said sounds like a tractor.the newer hdi is quiter and more refined and is quite often mapped to 130bhp without any probs or other mods.

HDI's are obviously Series 2's which imo are nicer. I think it's called moonstone blue, it's sexy.
