This weekend I'm going to check out a 2005 3.2 Quattro S-Line DSG with a view to purchase.
I've being looking through various forums and posts, and I've picked up items such as the 1800/2000 rpm roughness, smooth DSG gear changing, rattling chains being some of the things to watch out for.
My concern is the mileage is 96k. Now whilst I wouldn't bat an eyelid at a Diesel with that kind of mileage, this is a petrol engine and is definitely not a normal aspirated engine.
Insurance for me is £200, and tax is at the lower rate, £270pa. It's the fuel consumption, although a worry, is something I'm prepared to pay for to have some fun on occasion. BTW this will be my daily car to and from the office.
This also fits my budget of between £5-6k
I've just returned my BMW 318D and Saab 93 2.2tid, so boring oil burners, although they get the jub done, are just a little boring, and therefor a TDI is not floating my boat and T FSI is above my budget.
Should I be concerned with the high mileage?
Apologies in advance for the lengthy first post!
