for that price you will struggle to get a good mk6 £1500 is about the lowest price the early ones are going for - so a mk5 is proberbly what you'll get

if you could stretch to a mk6 then you could get a fwd with lower rear floor - that might help you loading bikes in

I would go for a mk5 diesal as they keep on going on and on plus they are alot easyer and cheaper to repair (i have done 15,000 miles in mine without any trouble at all)
