I bought mine off Ebay 2 years ago I Didnt check it out before hand and it was a rush swap for him to catch the train home as we met somewhere central. It was a HECK of risk but it's what I did. Mine has now 221,000 miles the clutch was done for £250 including the parts and I just fitted 2 drive shafts and two hubs which I broke being stupid and top mount bearings.
Total repair cost in 2 year ownership. damn good cars and one of the best looking estates arround especially of the era. Not ballistically quick but not a lot slower than an a4 tdi 110 and with injectors slightly uprated it makes it a little faster. they do 42-56 mpg in my experience
