Bit of buying advice please
Hello – I have just joined this forum as a registered user. I am thinking of buying a Mark 2, 1996, with just short of 50,000 miles on the clock.
I know very little about these cars – can anyone advise me, are there any mechanical components which need to be replaced at a certain mileage and which I need to check have been done?
And also, are there any really significant bodywork areas I need to look at for corrosion etc?
Thanks for any help you can give.
