For a variety of reasons I need a car for the next few weeks posibly a couple of months, I’m loath to spend much as we are planning to get rid of my van and get a better van soonish and cba hiring everytime I need one so I’m dabbling in bangernomics again.
Guy round the corner has a K reg Golf cl 1.8 auto for sale for £400. 43k on the clock. Spoken to him car originally belonged to his BiL’s sister, she didn’t use it much passed to him he’s getting a new car thinks his one is too nice to just scrap. Seems sound enough on the phone and not a dealer. Car has 12 months mot, had new discs and brake overhaul for the MOT, couple of rust spots on the tailgate otherwise looks ok if a little dull.
Any known faults on these, things to look out for? Should I buy it – veering twards yes if the test drive tomorrow is ok?
