What was the 300 notes spent on?

James_N · 25 Feb 2009 at 12:36

Keep the golf.

Luke · 25 Feb 2009 at 12:38

Step away from the BMW...

Firestar_3x · 25 Feb 2009 at 12:39

Don't bother.

magmax · 25 Feb 2009 at 12:40

i'd keep your golf.. you don't want to spend another £300 in a few weeks time on the BMW

sunnyg · 25 Feb 2009 at 12:43

dont bother m8. that engine aint gona last any longer. you'll regret it if u make the swap

GinG · 25 Feb 2009 at 13:10

The question is...why does he want to trade after spending £300 to 'sort' the engine, and a further £300 and a car for your golf?

222k would put me off a little, but I have seen cars still going at 300k!

Matt82 · 25 Feb 2009 at 13:18

keep the golf

how much do you want for the golf if youre getting rid?

Janesy B · 25 Feb 2009 at 13:18

keep the golf, that's high mileage for a silly little 4 pot beemer, as its a compact I doubt it's been a fleet car or motorway cruiser.

AtlanticP · 25 Feb 2009 at 13:39

Keep the Golf tbh..

Thats some serious mileage!!

Better the devil you know.

mattyprice4004 · 25 Feb 2009 at 14:06

Bloody hell, 222k?

Although you MAY get the fun of watching it roll past 222,222

Matt82 · 25 Feb 2009 at 14:17

its not that high, my golf should be there within a year i recon

fullspizz · 25 Feb 2009 at 14:20

Its not just the engine you have got to look at at that mileage.
The suspension, clutch, etc are going to be other parts that will require work in the not too distant future.
I'd stick with the golf myself

Save up some money and buy something that isn't a complete shiatter.

222k is high for a car with a small engine and it probably wont be motorway miles either with it being a compact. Unless it had a FULL service history from the day it was born I would not get rid of a MK3 GTI with only 82k on the clock.

Matt82 · 25 Feb 2009 at 14:57

if it had been doing motorway miles for the last 15 years it would be well over 300k haha

Perywinkle · 25 Feb 2009 at 16:53

Ugly slow pos. Why on earth would you want to swap

He's probably just realised after spending 300 nicker on ther monstosity that it'll need another small fortune spent on it soon and is trying to fob it off on you.
