If you find an audi a3 1.8T with under 80K on the clock you're onto a winner.

As for a VW Golf, you would get a mk4 with high mileage, but not a GTi, you could get a clean example of a Mk3 GTi though, try edition38, i was looking at one on there?

Also what about a corsa 1.8 SRi?

bearing in mind fuel costs arent the problem, more the ride quality and noise levels

Nice choice mate!!

Looks like it has all the toys inside They do look abit drab in normal form outside, but once they have a Mtech kit on they really stand out!

Whereabouts are you based? I could come have a look at it with you if you like? I will give you a quick list of common E36 problems to look out for on MSN if you remind me later
