They're good value if you find a good one.
I struggled to find a good Mk3 for my money of any description, diesel, petrol, 1.8/2.0/v6 etc.. All of them were either buggered inside, been to the moon and back or mechanically shot. I know there are plenty about but i was surprised at just how poorly maintained they were. I gave up looking, all the best looking ones were 200+ miles away, too far to turn up to a nail. I was offloading a 167k partner and that was mint inside and out apart from 2 very minor dents. I just wanted a normal car again.
After a bit more digging too i learned that the petrols had a dmf too, i always thought it was just the diesels.
