    My other half doesn't drive huge distances so I was thinking that as she's always wanted one it might be a good idea to fulfil that dream.
    Any way, I've come across a cheap mk1 with high motorway miles but fsh (18 stamps) new roof, roof motor etc, cam-belt + waterpump.
    Would it be worth taking the gamble given that it's not huge sums of money?

    How many miles are we talking about - 100k, 200k, more?

    Our 170k Mk4 Golf was given to our son when we replaced it with our 100k Audi TT, and the engine was (and still is) sweet, and this is essentially the same 20V 1.8 litre unit. Mechanical parts are still good, as is the interior. The odd electrical gremlin, but nothing much. Both cars are wearing very well for 17 and 12 years old respectively.

    Despite the above good comment, I'm now off to look up information on the TT window which won't go up.....!

    253k but with 18 stamps, lots of history and a new roof in the last 12 months it was worth the gamble.
    If the OH likes it enough then she can always look at trading up next year if she wants to
