Can you be more specific?

Need 4 seats?
4 doors or 2?
Need something economical, or not bothered?
Need space?

Not all high mileage cars are tatty, my dad's Passat with 293k is in better condition than my sister's Pug 206 with 30k on the clock. Both bought new at around the same time.

Fair point but Ive worked around these alot, there will more to look for cambelt, DSG Mechatronics, Bushes so much more. also missus owns one, spending more with a nice history will always hold value.

You serious ? Thats the Chassis it's 1st phase S3

3.2 is not a S3 on 1st Phase 1.8T BAM or the later shape 2.0 TFSI
