As I said in the newbies section, I will be looking for a VRS soon. Am I better off going for an earlier one with less miles (2001 with 60k lets say) or a newer one (2004 with 90k for example?)

How much money do you have to spend?

id be looking to spend around 5k (but could stretch to a tad more)

Should get a vnice one for 5k with under 60k easily.

Check cambelt has been changed and decent tread on boots and your set.

I would go for the newer one personally. Corrosion on older cars and also things like rubber parts disintegrating can occur in the older ones, also the newer one has been used often where as the older one could have been laid up for a while which can also cause probs. Also a newer car looks better on the drive.

Go for the newest possible with the least miles as possible

you think that 5k will get a decent one? im looking into getting one in a years time just saving at the moment, which will give me about 6-7k this time next year to spend on one. if 5 will get me one now i might as well get one sooner whatcha recon
