jox 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Is 140 thousand miles alot for a vr6 engine and did they all come with leather interior? Link to post Share on other sites
Dazdub 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not really mate no. VW engines are really strong but they do have to be maintained and looked after well. No, leather was an aptional extra on most. Link to post Share on other sites

Dazdub 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thats nothing for a golf to be honest matey. Check out the buyers guide from the home page and that will tell you what to look for. The most obvious thing is the chains, make sure they have been done Link to post Share on other sites
