Just got myself a V plate 206 gti for a nice price, bought it just because I had a moment of weakness really lol
I need a diesel due to the miles i do each week, but was thinking I've a few options:
1, do it up and have as a weekend car
2, do it up put 12 months ticket on it and sell it on
3, break it for spares
2 and 3 would give me the chance to throw some money at the HDi, here's the info on the GTi
98k, loads of service history (cam belt done), and pretty much every MOT ticket since 3 yrs old, original service pack still with it. The tax runs out this month but MOT till early June.
It needs a little tlc ie:
Drivers lower arm,
Drivers seat alcantara worn out,
New drivers door check strap ( been over stretched by the wind pulling the door)
Set of wheels and tyres as past owner sold them on so just 14 inch steels with trims.
Drivers front ABS sensor
Its got the Lexus Style rear SP lights  but one has a small hole in it , no boot spoiler (Never had 1). PiperX hot air waste of time and money power sapping open induction kit ( whatever I do thats gone with the lexus lights!!)
Full cat back stainless system.
Everything works on the car spot on even the AC blows cold and the 6 disc changer in the boot works......
Thoughts people

If you can afford it as a weekend car then surely you can stretch to running a petrol car (i.e the GTi) as an everyday driver.

what was a good price if you dont mind me asking, selling is not worth it unless you got it for nothing as you will be looking about 5-700 if your lucky, lower arm is 45 for a mota quip one, check strap is 25 and wheels with tyres about 200
weekend toy or parts but parts dont sell really

I cover around 500 miles a week, I'm getting 50+mpg out of my 2.0 hdi HDi
I'd be lucky to push 35mpg in the GTi, probably lower than that as we all know if you've got the power you tend to use it, that's why I got rid of my petrol BMW compact, plus I'd want to do some proper performance and suspension mods to the GTi if I keep it, so wouldn't be an everyday driver for the miles I do, my 206 HDi barely cuts it after the BM, but the MPG makes it a winner.

Currently I could probably get most of my money back if i scrapped it!
I work in the trade and used to work for Peugeot so can get my parts at cost plus VAT mostly so not too much of an issue, should be able to sort everything listed for under £100 including a standard airbox and filter, bar wheels/tyres.
Think I'll run it to my mates garage and put it through an MOT, see if that flags much up, doubtful it will apart from the lower Arm/ABS light as MOT not worth the paper their printed on these days!!
