Bora Welding Marks on Boot Floor - Normal??

[Nickyboy]

Hi,
i've put a deposit down on a Bora 4Motion Y reg. Small reputable dealer, but I noticed a welding mark across the entire width of the boot floor (under the carpet). The dealer said all Boras have this - is this true? HPI check was clear. Any advice gratefully received?
Thanks Nick

Sounds a bit strange as i haven't got or ever had one i can't say.

Try and locate another one locally to compare it?

thanks Mak,
i'll try and look at another one, but need to know before weds when i pick it up. Don't want to end up with a lemon!!

that's really kind of you. Look forward to hearing from you later.
thanks
Nick

(p.s love the rarity of the Bora 4motion, haven't seen any on the road. + test drove it and it's super smooth)

Hi Andy
Did you get a chance to look at your brother in law's Bora V6?
thanks again
Nick

I take it the weld has been spray painted over also.....

i cant confirm if this is correct... but if you look hard enough if it is a "BAD" one you will notice flaws in it as its hard to get it 100%..

let us know how you get on....

thanks

it's a sealant (black tar like substance, almost semi circular), doesn't look like it's been painted over. Dealer i'm buying from says their mechanics and spray shop say it's ok as they looked under the car etc and everything is normal + apparently the boot has a vw small metal plate with a code on it which wouldn't be there if it had been repaired.
I just thought it was wierd to see this black sealant. But hopefully it's ok.
