I do look every day, but I am not prepared to pay 5k for one! and I can't go up north to collect, so I put this advert on here in the hope someone has one they no longer want before putting it on ebay, cutting out the middle man,, ebay!


So if anyone is thinking of selling your automatic transit, for sensible cash, and your willing to bring it to me then don't put it on ebay and give them a massive amount of fee money, just pm me!

err too many miles and too far

this one I like, I suppose it's a mk4 so won't be epic??? and not turbo either?? but it'd do me a treat, seems a little dear but it's not too bad, only thing is how would I get there to pick it up?
any offers???? :D
funny how it's supposed to be owned by the council yet had 5 previous owners though!

alright smart ass!!! I thought the mk4 petrols were pinto or was that the 3's! 4's didn't seem to have a very long life between the 3 and 5, 5's seemed to go on ages before the 6!
