Picking up new car, Diesel

Featured Replies

Looks like a great little car especially at that mileage!

i hope you are going to tune it up... it's crying out for some diesel-power-madness

Bmw mini wheels are v similar to G60 steelys, if steelys are what you mean? I dare say they are much more plentiful than G60s. The spigot hole needs opening out a bit, I think I put a post on here on this? I think white bodywork/black steelys is the way forward, go for it dude!

A bit to risky with the black?.......I will go with the silver. On my prevous diesel I had the 15" and ithink i put 195/50's on it and it looked great. The wheels that i got at the breakers were totally mint...£40, passat.

Dose any one have any in good condition?

you can still buy g60 steels from the vw dealer, they are about £30 each... but as you have already noted, the spare wheel in a B3 passat is a 15" steel and most of them never ever get used so you might be able to pick em up form a breaker

Well........I went to pick up the car earlier today after travelling 2 hours and the car was not as described!!

- When driving there is a knocking noise comming from the front left side

- The dash is all badly scraped

- The doors cards are scrapped as well

- When got back from the test drive the car starting reving, salesman pressed the peddle and it got worse!

I left the car as the alarm bells were ringing!!

So much for the diesel........... :thumbdown:

Glad you did the sensible thing and walked away.

Too many people don't do that and end up with a lemon!

Plenty more out there. Is annoying though investing your time in going to see it then finding it's not as it was described.
