    The ABS light should be sorted out on that car now, as he stated he's getting it sorted and re-MOTd. Now I'm not really fussed about 3 or 5 door, just want the legit car!

    Thanks a lot mate, all duly noted. I've already printed out the buyers guide, and have been trying to read and remember as much as possible whilst on route to various viewings - has been invaluable!

    Also (so sorry about this), do you know where the VIN plates are located on the car - that's something I haven't checked on either car yet? Do you know of any tell-tale signs of tampering?

    (btw thanks PeterVR6 for the swift informed response, I'm certainly taking what you've said on board) I suppose the factor that is confusing me the most is the mileage - they were both in good condition, engine and interior. So is the difference in mileage really that big a deal?

    I mean as far as the actual specifications of the car there's not really much between them in my mind. I would prefer 5 door, but also would prefer lower milage!

TBH I should have looked at what paperwork he had at the time but was in a real rush so said I would come back to check on the weekend. The thing is, with the other car (5 door R reg), the ABS light was staying on, I pointed this out and the fact that it would not pass an MOT like that; he stated that he'd forgotten to get it done.

    I've been looking at buying a Mk3 Golf VR6 for about a month or so, and in the last couple of weeks I've been to see a few, some good, some not so great. I really need to take the plunge at this point as I have no car and public transport is doing me head in somewhat. It comes down to two choices really: [Car A] - Black, 5 door, R reg 97, c.90k, cloth interior, AC, the two most recent MOT certs, Service History book, nine months Tax left, 4 previous owners. and [Car B] - Black, 3 door, P reg 97, c.70k, grey leather interior, AC with climate control, lots of MOT certs, no Service History book (
