| Re: what would you get for up to 5k Polo GTi  From that list, you'd probably get a VR6 but would have high mileage I would imagine. Toledo might be a decent buy as not many people want them, so it's quite a bit of car for the money - they like a drink though! Leon Cupra I doubt you'd get for 5k without sky-high mileage and I don't really like Compacts. I went through a very similar list to yours, as I had a similar budget. My 2001 GTi's coming up for sale, as I need a TDi again. 67k and in very good condition. PM if interested. Steve

| Briskodian | Re: what would you get for up to 5k 5k???? about 7,500€ will get you a 5-8yr old pile-o-dross with 250,000kms+ saw a 1989 UNO for sale for 1,500€ UK value = 5£ if that? unreal! Wish the prices here dropped a LOT! I'm not paying 800€ less than brand new on a car 2yrs old and 200k on the clock! You cannot imagine how many dealers have been told to go FFFF themselves

| Re: what would you get for up to 5k I was in the exact same position as you, and went through basically all of the options above. In the end, it came down to something that was well built, reasonably cheap to run, reliable, had some character about it which meant reasonably rare. It also had to have around 60k on the clock, so I could guarantee it had life left in it. The car that meets all of the above (for me anyway!) is for sale. For the only reason being that I need diesel economy again. You're appear reasonably local, so CLICK and if you think it might suit, give me a shout Steve
