Hello there,

I am new to this site and need some help - as I am after buying an 02/03 plate Golf 150 tdi.

Please can you help/advise me as I do not know to much about cars:

1. Is it safe to buy a used Golf Tdi (with full service history) which has 70k miles or more????? Does this not mean the car has past its best stage and is likely to break down?
2. What are COMMON faults that I should be aware of when purchasing a used Golf tdi??
3. What should I look for when looking/inspecting a golf tdi?
3. What is the average price/most realistic price for a Golf Tdi 150 with around 70k on clock? (ie whats the max price I should pay?)
5. Is the 150 tdi better than the 130??

Many thanks for your help - it is really appreciated.
Kind regards
Ket
