OK, so sadly my B5 got written off last week, so looking for another sat, and thought i'd go with a wagon. (cos the saloon just wasn't big enough for occasion trips abroad)
I'd love to get a B5.5 but good example aren't going to that sort of money. (already contacted a few for sale folks on here)
My insurance company are still dealing with the claim, so i've yet to any sort of payout, so i have about £1000 to play with.
Yet i know very little about the other engine types, is it just the oil pick-ups in need to be looking out for? (and how do i tell?) on top of the usual passatty stuff?

Spotted a very cheap on ebay local to me, but it would be a blink purchase...?

I've got a lift to work for the week, but would need to get it this weekend at the latest.
So any advice, input, or ebay links would be appreciated.

Edit: Just checked insurance for that car on ebay and it;s coming back at £600-£1000, but that's to be expected i guess :( (gone beyond being annoyed with the idiot who caused the accident...)

Cheer guys!
