my mate has just bought a 2001 y reg passat diesel turbo
sort of forrest green

140k miles,full history for 2 grand
it drives and looks like 50k miles.
only problem is he wants nearly 2.5grand for it, nice thing though.
vectra diesels are good for big miles,early ones are better than late ones.
406 mondeo vectra are very popular as taxis,so don't get stung with one.
