Hi,

Most of you know that i'm hoping to buy a 205 GTi sometime soon. I've been having a casual search around, and i'm seeing prices in the £600 region for both the 1.6 and 1.9. Couple of questions:

1. Realistically, whats the difference between the 1.6 and 1.9? Would it be worth my while going for a 1.9, or should i wait around for a good 1.6?

2. Insurance - Is there a massive difference on insurance between the 1.6 and 1.9? or would I need to be doing quotes on both?

With regards to buying - should I be looking for anything in particular, that could cost a lot of money to sort out, or is it just regular car things to check for, oil level etc?

One more thing - i'm also thinking about getting a loan to cover both car and insurance - is this a good idea? or should I save up longer, but have to pay the insurance monthly?

Thanks :)
