Was looking at the Mk5 GT TDi's but they're way out of budget.....like twice as much as the Vec for the same age!

Newer cars have too much fragile shit that goes wrong all the time and costs a fortune to fix. Buy an XUD with a Bosch pump for less than £500 and get 40-50mpg on 80p per litre fuel!
This just isn't true. The only things I've replaced on the Vectra were mechanical! Springs and a stat, every car has those.
Buying an XUD wouldn't have the desired effect. Can't be bothered to explain again.

Yup, anything VAG and economical is way out of budget. Even poverty spec Polos older than the Vec cost more.
See I made the mistake of test driving a GT tdi ( I say test drive.. It's my mates.)
Before trying the GTi.. No way was the tdi being bought haha.
Tempted to save up for the mk6 r33 next. Probably in 2 years. Really liking them at the moment.
On the 306 waiting list.
