Ain't fast, mate has a 180bhp quattro and sends me to sleep. They're sturdy cars and nothing should be amiss, if so walk away

as with mk4 golfs make sure the electri windows work as they suffer from window reg problems

also check that the rear wiper/washer works

as they are prone to the rear easher pipe splitting and causing the motor and/or the boot latch to get wet and fail

cheers for the tips everyone

Alps Pacino, seen your mates car for sale on the auto trader, mileage is probably a bit higher than i would go but cheers for pointing it out.
