Would you consider one? Waiting for the owner to dig out the service history to see if its had a recent belt change etc


But as a run around a arden blue 1.6 sport R reg 130k for £490 sounds ok to me

from owning a gsi in the past I know what to look for on the engines regarding oil burning and other dodgy things but anything else to look out for other then rust?

I bought a cheap 1.6 Sport to spin when my car was being sprayed. Got £400 profit.

Mine was a £600 98 Sport, Sold 6 months later for £1100.

Had to get it a CAT back exhaust though

after having a couple of vws anything over 100k doesnt sound that bad. for 400 you may aswell as long as the engine runs sweet and theres not alot of rust.
