are you not familiar with my 172??? lol
i always planned to haggle the hell out of the owner and use the remains of the passat money to pay for wheels and suspension as the commute i will be on is pretty epic. however he didn't knock much off...
i don't want to play with this too much, its...
you see i like the fact its not silver or black.... something a bit different, but i will update with how life goes with it....
i checked on-line first (just on a comparison website) and it was giving me prices about £40 over what i was paying on my passat,
upon calling my brokers they said it...
thanks...lol
just got off the phone to the insurers and a bit shocked tbh, most want more money than my passat that had wheels, suspension and a full stereo system.... this is completely stock...lol
really nice and smooth to drive, this one seems in extremely good condition, i have changed from a 1.8 petrol (non-turbo) VW passat, its comfy enough and was getting 69mpg's on the way home... happy days
no pics yet, will get some up shortly.
thanks for the advice everyone, i noted...
interesting talk on the heated screen,
keeping an eye on this as thats the way i was going, then again mines not being built to race... well not in a series anyways
So after trying to sort out a viewing of the one in Totnes to only find out they are closed, it seems i am now off on a roadtrip to see the one in Leicester (see link above).
its instantly £200 cheaper than the other one and its a private seller so much more room for bartering than the other...
i also am quite a fan of the colour, didn't particularly want another silver car, but would be easier to re-sale i guess.
have done up a document comparing the 2 favorites and had another conversation with the garage in Totnes and that seems to make more sense in the long run, just a proper pain...
i got the call back about this one last night and it just didn't sound as appealing as the other 2 above, at the moment i think its between the silver one in totnes and the green one in leicestershire
i am awaiting call backs on:

yeah it does sound pretty good, i wasn't keen on a black one but i may consider it, may try and get in contact with them to see if i can find out a bit more about it.
when you say the 1500, you mean this one -...

the french alps, however we are taking the females this time...
we may dump them off somewhere shopping / leave them sun-bathing whilst we go play in the hills
so i am on the hunt now, as of last night it seems like the passat is definitely going. I think i will have to start viewing this weekend otherwise i will be stuck without a car on the long commute.
Couple 80's from ebay
looks good -...
