This. The Mk5 Golf was the testbed car for it and came with the twincharger in 140 and 170ps variants, usually in GT spec.

Jebus, you northerns got it bad! It's snowing here at the moment and there is about 2 inches settled on the car.

My boat parked by a lake (no snow).

Lake is the other side of the railing. 
I want another E30. They're all wrong or stupidly expensive. 2.25k?! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bmw-e30-325i-se-/281080065609?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4171ad6e49

That's about £1k too expensive.
No mention of the other rust areas like footwells, jacking points etc. is an auto, an se with horrible interior, doesn't have much SH...
They are on the rise in terms of cost but that is too highly priced. They are fun though and I enjoy mine but would prefer if it was a 2 door saloon rather than the cabriolet. I got lucky with mine though in terms of rust...but have spent a huge amount getting it on the road and have loads more to spend to make sure it stays on the road.
You can easily pick up an alright 325 for £1k but rust is a killer on them and is so hard to spot on some, especially ones with the sport bodykit attached. Sports go for a lot more though and shoddy examples go for silly money...and then you need to fix them.

I'm picking this up on Friday. Hope it doesn't get the same Golf TSI bashing the other guy got a few pages back! 
My two previous cars have been a MK4 S Reg Fiesta and a 52 plate Toyota Corolla. Both have been pretty rubbish! It's costing 8500 with the usual bartered dealer freebies thrown in. 18000 miles on an 09 plate I don't think is too shabby! The guy before seems to have been a gadget freak too as it has a lot of upgrades inside! Immaculate too.
The colour looks a lot better not in the rain! It was the most overcast day I've ever seen when I took the pictures!

Seems a good deal on the Golf, I thought they didn't depreciate that much?

Not unless you've got it as a result of throwing a massive man-baby wobbler over "only" getting a Macbook, redonkulously overpriced headphones etc. for Christmas...

They had it at £9500 but they had no room left on the showroom floor and were expecting a lot of vehicles being brought in that day as the mk7 has just been released. They wouldn't budge on the price whatsoever. In the end they offered me £1500 for the Toyota which has done 138k miles and is on more than it's last legs having not had any love or a decent service for a quite some time. Other garages were offering £450 for it.
Don't know how much of it was sales speel or truth but it had apparently only been on the forecourt 15 mins when I turned up. I was there at 9am. Had originally gone to look at a 1.2 polo
It's funny that they can't reduce the price of their car but can increase the trade in price of yours greatly. Guess it looks better to the accountancy department that way!
