searcher Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Thats more like it.At least if you dent it you can blame it on the previous owner :lol: Quote
mumof4 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 just depends really on price.Ive emailed the seller to ask what the reserve is.Very much doubt i will be able to afford it. Quote
mk2vr6 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 2.3 slush box! will cripple you on the school run Quote
stevie m Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 reserve is 2500Â Â I got this feeling it will fetch more than that. Reserve seems very fair and the milage is low but i don't fancy the fuel bills....... Local driving hmmmmm. :lol: Quote
steve67car Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 think its alittle dodgy on the mileage front just look at the stearing wheel ?????????????????????? Quote
stevie m Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 think its alittle dodgy on the mileage front just look at the stearing wheel ??????????????????????  That could just be dirty, but on this occasion i would agree with you. The silver paint rubs off too if the wheel has been used alot Quote
mk2vr6 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 she's gone to look at a mk1 TDI in tourmalard green :lol: so hopefully it will be ok and she'll be back in the fold with a Galaxy, one without that stupid clock on the dash ;) Quote

gregers Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 think its alittle dodgy on the mileage front just look at the stearing wheel ??????????????????????  it can also happen if there has been an awful amount of moisture in the cabin,we have a p reg vw caddy van at work and the steering wheel is exactly the same,and thats got 37000 miles on it.BUT IT LEAKS LIKE A SIEVE.
