Difficulty finding good Mk5

Postby screechowl » Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:59 pm

I've come to the conclusion that finding a Mk5 worth buying is like looking for a needle in a hay stack, or finding a Mk5 that's not got a welded & corroded chassis is like finding a woman who's not got leaking implants :lol: :lol: :lol:

They do come along, but everybody thinks they should sell for the same money as the usual patch and rust model that's had a quick blow over :?

Ta mate. Looks gorgeous don it :?: There's a few of these hardly used little mk5's around at the mo, as if someone has just discovered buried treasure. Cant see me fitting two german shepherds, two cats, sink, stove & fire in it & living in it while I put house on the marked, but I'm desperate enough to try. Could get a tiny caravan too & turn into a trailer trasher :lol: :lol: :lol:
