Hi-

been after a petrol vrs for a good while now and with my budget looks like it will have about 70,000 on it and because I have had Honda's for the last 10 years or so,don't have a clue about the parts that will need changing at that millage.Disc's pads,turbo,clutch,bushes,cv boots etc.I know about the cam belt,water pump at 60,000 or 4 years but have never owend a turbo car and the last vag motor I had was a mk 2 golf gti.Any help would be good as I will be looking to get one a.s.a.p.

please help give me some sort of idea as to what is most on the cards to be ready to be changed

tbh hard to say, cambelts roughly 4 years or 80K miles but something like a clutch/brakes depends on how its been driven.

I've taken mine from 76k to 86K in 7 months with only front tyres (£250) and an oil and filter change (£60) and a failed front wiper arm (£53) and rear washer and aircon re-gas (£80 combined).

Get one with full mot, full dealer service history, with good tyres (full set of decent brand is expensive) and a recent cambelt change and you probably wont go far wrong though theres always a chance something lurks round the corner, its the luck of the draw.
