Hello
I have a little problem and the search for an answer brought me to this forum. Thanks for letting me in. Hope my English can pass my message.
I like this Golf cars and I prefer it diesel, but affordable diesel cars are not a Swiss thing.
I found this one, which is good in every sense; feels so good to drive, has all the interesting options except leader; changed shock absorbers, break disks, engine seat, exhaust; Timing belt, good pollution checks till actually road worthy by swiss standards for the next 2years. But 300000KM is scary. This guy selling the car seem nice and open, he is convinced its a good car.
Now the million dollar question! How to be sure I am not making a mess? Please don't advice me to buy a newer car! (just kidding though serious)
Thanks so much for your aimable attention:D

That's about the same as my non-turbodiesel. I'm not expecting my car to fail any time soon, but I paid a low price for it. If your car is cheap, I would take a risk. If it is not cheap, walk away and find another.
