| my jetta was over 205k and went ok, think it depends on how its been looked after, and if its cheap then i would go for it, re sell may be a bit hard but still worth getting if cheap. if its been a company car it would have more than likely been a fleet car, and there always serviced on time and maintained well. | |

| The mk4 boxes are traditionally make of chocolate but if It's got motorway milage, you should be good. All the tdi's bung up the inlet manifold with black poop. Block the egr, remove the manifold and burn it out. You'll thank me for it. Get a remap, it'll be another car alltogether. Other than that I wouldn't worry that it'd been to Pluto and back.
