Hi All

Going to look at a couple of mk3 today one is a 2.0 ltr 2009 60,000miles can anyone give me some advice on what probs to look for, also has an automatic box, are they ok. Car is for my daughter as shes always been in love with them. The other is a 1.8 geared and has only done 1000 miles a year for the last 4 yrs (apparently). Whats the spec difference between the different engines etc.

If you place details of the cars on this forum the members will give plenty of advice on purchasing. The 2.0 has VVT and therfore more power

I would check a MK3 auto isn’t a grey import as I think
they are crazy price car tax?
