Very nice. A standard non Highline VR6 is 174bhp. :D

Looks a nice clean example and it's got Climatronic.

what should you look for in the VR6 i know that it is pretty much same base as my 16valver
but what are pitfalls

Petrol consumption is one of the VR6's major pitfalls. At best you won't see more than 30mpg and when you spank it you'll see the expensive side of 20mpg. The engines are pretty bombproof if they've been looked after properly. :D

well after prising the keys from the guys hands, i went for a little spin and was very impressed it was indeed a nice motor
no rattles even 140,000 on the clock every thing worked , very tight
the interior was a little worn but nothing to really shout about.
so after a little serious chat i aquired it for the day and gave it the daily challange of work and back.
the missus had it to pick up the daughter and we visited the mother in laws and returned it the next day,
you were right euroslap it was indeed thirsty
3/4 of a tank in one day average 22.9 round town some times as low as 18.7 on the MFA
the wifes decision was final
NO NO NO NO NO
so this weak man is not the owner of a VR6:(
regards sticky
maybe when i am all growded up eh!!!!!!!
