Cheers for the reply guys. When i said i wanted something cheap to run, i should have made it abit clearer that i meant fuel and day-today running. Like most VW's at a certain age they all need work and unless i spend £3k plus for something that is good but not immaculate so i get where you're both coming from. For a £1k i can get a fairly decentish 2.0 16v which is what i would probably go for unless i can get a cheap G60.
Which ever car i buy i know that its going to need money throwing at it and thats is probably why i want something that needs a little TLC. As stupid as it sounds, i like to make something **** look amazing, well try to. I will have a look around and be patient and see what comes up, i know they are getting rare and have their common faults, but i look forward to owning one.
My mate has got a VR6 which has been sat on his drive for the past year and thats has all the common things wrong with it but he loves it that much that he wont sell it. Maybe if i get mine it might inspire him!!
Will keep you guys posted.
