I looked at 2 or 3, couple 225's and a 180. They were early ones though a they were the only ones in my budget which probably didn't help.
With your budget you could probably get a very well looked after one, and if you can make sure the common things have been done then even better!
V6 will sound better

I dont have a budget as such, just dont fancy spending loads, wouldnt part with like 7k for one as its not a bargain then!! Reckon a good one can be had for 4-5k-ish? If I can get a V6 for my money i'd be over the moon, less to go wrong than the 1.8T AUX engine as well. DSG's meant to be reliable too & I know SMG is spot on so this cant be too much different!!

if im 100% honest i much prefered the golf to the tt... worst thing was how stupidly small the windows are if your trying to talk to someone whos outside the car.

I dont really talk to folk when im in a car, unless there sat next to me. Really all I need is something for popping to the shops, down the gym & occasional boredom drives.

Great cars, I'd have another! Look at a QS they have dropped in price alot!
Usual 1.8T problems but I owned mine 18months and other than 1 coil back and 1 split hose was great!
Check instrument panel works fine.
