No offence but I think that VW is one of the shitties companies out there, Actually now that porche bought out most of VW I think Ill stop supporting them as well, even though they have been related from almost the start.
Those thugs probably reckoned that no one would miss that hunk of junk. Looks like you are located in UK and if that is the case you might want to stop by bicester, they have factory outlets there that is so sweee; picket up a pair if diesel jeans for 25 pounds
...any way back to the point; second hand cars in the UK are amongst the cheapest in the world, even a peegoat 205 would have been better.
