true, i sold my ST24 2mths ago,80k FFSH 1 previous owner tottally standard bar the mandatory metal pump for £1800, and just bought a T plate TDI with 50k FSH for 3k, but i am saving £100 per month on fuel, plus the golf seems to be cheaper to maintain, at least you aint gotta worry about cambelts in an ST

which was good for me, with my track record
my ST was bar far one of the best cars i ever owned
you looked on ebay, always some on there going cheap sometimes too
