geoffc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Folks, Bought a 1997 Galaxy GLX 90 bhp diesel a few weeks ago..... nearly everything that can be faulty on a Galaxy, was faulty. (sunroof worked!!) Spent a lot of time on it , got everything working, except for aircon...Today my friendly VW agent, tho has supplied me with about 12 new VWs in the past 9 years..rings my mobile. Turns out he has a 1999 Sharan arriving next week as a trade in with 100k on it, as it was their demo at a time, he thinks it is prob 110bhp Diesel, one owner etc.....Should I ditch my now working Galaxy...slightly battered, for a mostly pristine 1999 car and start all over again fixing faults?? Full service hist....might not be so bad.....but it IS a MK1!! Whatdayathink folks??? Geoff Quote
Justice Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 I would go for the Sharan everytime but it all depends on what he is asking for it. Quote
geoffc Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Posted May 19, 2007 Hi Justice! Any particular preference for the Sharan over the Galaxy? Trim etc? This car is green, expected price about Quote
geoffc Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Posted May 22, 2007 Hi all again, Dealer rung me this morning re Sharan.....bit beat up, one careless owner from new!! Wanted Quote
Justice Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 It is just the VW finishing touches I like over the ford plus a VW holds it's price better. Quote
