Galaxy Which One

[mjkrs2k]

i thinking of changing my 2.0 manual galaxy and getting a diesel. But with 5500 to spend do i get a mk1 or mk2 one what you you do

[mumof4]

mk2.the ghia is lovely!! :lol: (im biased.)

[El Dingo]

2.3 Ghia is best.

Easy to work on, plenty of go, no tractor engine.

 

2.8 has a better sound-track though.

 

You can afford a Mk. 2, maybe not a Ghia.

You will struggle to get a decent MK2 TDi, you should be looking for a late MK1 with average milage.

2.3 diesel?

[El Dingo]

No, petrol. Just trying to save him, y'know.

I saw a 2003 TDI ghia 130bhp for 12 k the other week,so im thinking that a 2001 may be a whole lot cheaper!I was gutted when i saw it as we paid 15500 for ours.

What was the mileage and condition and equipment, though?

[mumof4]

Diesel is a whole lot more better than petrol!!!!More MPG.....less fill ups.....and you can hear the engine work!!

:lol:

[Masked Marauder]

I heard mine when it stopped working too........

Everything..sat nav/cd player/no dvd...all the spec you expect of the ghia.It was the exact same as ours apart from it being a 130bhp....and clean!!!!!.grey interior..

Alloys.....(trying to remember everything now)spare wheel....everything a top of the range Ghia has.

 

Condition was brilliant..no dents/scratches/just a couple of stone chips..alloys were immaculate...had done 47k

 

 

I had my face pressed up against the windows admiring it 4 ages...if its still there tomoz..ill get all the specs.

Not nice is it :(

[El Dingo]

Hmmm... Prices are dropping. Petrol is still cheaper, due to demand for diesel motors. 12k sounds cheap...

 

Leather?

[jkspoff]

Just spotted this one on a well known trader web site ! Mk2 tdi.

 

Galaxy, Silver, 83k miles, FSH, all Ghia refinements, 12mths MOT, 7mths tax, excellent condition inside & out, genuine reason for sale . . . . (private)

But with 5500 to spend do i get a mk1 or mk2 one what you you do

if you go for an MKII - your looking at higher mileage - which might not be all bad, if its all motorway driving, and has been well looked after.

 

its going to be harder to find a MKII Diesel, but there are a few available, i noticed they haven't put the mileage, so its probably been to the sun and back.

and before anyone starts, i have nothing to do with autotrader

 

..not bad

 

you can get MKI petrols, for around

[NikpV]

second one looks quite good :(

[Guest lincolnimp]

:( Bought our 115bhp TDi Ghia for 11K with 33k on the clock. Clean 1 owner with service history.

Can we try to stay on topic please, I don't see how many of the replys are going to help the original poster.

 

If he wanted to know what everyone paid for their cars then I am sure the OP would have asked that.

[raymac]

I would personally be inclined to try and find a highish miler with fsh being sold by a trader so if you have any probs you at least have some sort of warranty with private once you have bought it thats it period :(

 

 

The second one on matts post under not bad is a decent price if it is good nick well worth a look if it's not to far away.

[mjkrs2k]

many thanks found several mk2 diesels in my price range but i got to sell my mk1 2.0

[sanjsanj]

Urm, could someone please tell me what the difference is between mk1, mk2 ect.

Ive got (nearly, going to get tomorrow) a T plate 1999 galxay ghia and i dont know what mk it is.........

 

 

Also, on my old car, (sharan, 96 p reg) the manual said that if you press the lock button on the remote control, all the windows would close. the problem is that that car didnt have R/C/L and my new one does but can sumone tell me if opening/closing the windows is possible with the remote control?

 

 

Before I part with my money are there any final checks I should do? it is an auto so its quite rare and its only done 65K.....

[mumof4]

The difference that i physically see is the front of the car..i have no idea if it is different under the bonnet.

 

 

As for being rare..most of em on here have an auto...so i dont know if your particular car is rare. :blink:

 

 

A T reg is a mk 1.....(i think) :blink:

 

 

 

I f you have global closing , you can open/close windows with key. :angry:

 

 

By the way..welcome to the forum. :P

[sanjsanj]

Do you mean glodal closing with the key fully turned, or global closing with the remote button pressed?

 

Also if anyone can tell me last minute checks before I buy it then I would be grateful.

By the way what is the difference between a Ghia and a Ghia X (T reg, 1999)

[mumof4]

with the key in the lock..ive never tried it with just pressing the button on the fob :angry:

 

 

As for checks...someone better than i can tell you those. :blink:
