High Mileage TDi - any worries?

Any opinions on buying a high mileage tdi? I've found one for £1300 wit a fresh cam belt and one owner. Seems like a great price if Lupos stand the test of time. I know plenty of people who own other 1.9 TDi VWs that are double that and run strong.

Yeah, they're quite rare. The guy with the front end damage is dreaming with that price in mind. Don't let it put you off. I got my arosa tdi for 1400 with 110k and fsh 1 owner. He had just spend 700 servicing it with cambelt brakes and a cat aswell. Don't rush into it. You'll find one. Make sure it's the £30 tax bracket too

they are good cars... but can have electrical problems. gearbox issues. talk it for a run and change the gears if it wont shift back down the gears but you can block change then back up the box. it will be on its way out. they are normally reliable tho. just use common sence when looking
