well worth £600 just for spares if nothing else

[chrisk_87]

well its 700 with recovery lol

At £600 (sorry £700) its a steal I would say Im not a mk6 person but I would say ya getting a lot of van for your money

however I would be looking at is it written off
You could be looking at a new engine and thats potentially expensive but worth it
could be things the seller hasn't told you after all he didn't mention the misfire smoke issue in the ebay listing.

If its genuine its a no brainer however I would be very cautious

i have been told it isnt recorded so just bolt on new panels but i am not bothered about that just want it running and drivable lol

I was just be cautious theres an old saying if somethings togood to be true it generally is but you maybe lucky its worth a try

[chrisk_87]

yeah i know that one too lol but its gotta be worth that hasnt it for spares etc

[madmark_50484]

Most likely but I would personally say its worth putting it back on the road of course if its straight even if its not your prob right make your money back on spares
