Hello all,
I'm new to this so be gentle with me.
I'm looking for a new car for the wife. Needs to be a golf and something that I can have a play around in on the weekend when i get out of the company bmw diesel. Originally looking for a 2002 180 1.8T but can't track down a good one. I've recently come across a 03 53 5dr v64 without much in the way of extras (no leather or sat nav)12k miles for just over ?15k with a dealer. The price seems pretty good but i have the following concerns.
1. Future depreciation
2. Running costs..servicing/expensive complicated bits
3. School run during the week 5miles per day..will this cause any problems
4. Security and if this is a car that thieves are interested in
Hopefully someone can put my concerns to rest.
Cheers
