Want a 106 gti

[3cott]

Could i get nice one for £2000?

[lavo-vts]

yes maybe an 98/99 model. good gti's aint cheap man

[SamW]

Less if you look hard enough

[JC-Furio]

Search on autotrader, ebay and pistonheads?

[Mrk1]

Agreed GTi's aren't cheap. Odd question - but have you try searching classifieds/for sale/106 OC for some?

[3cott]

Search on autotrader, ebay and pistonheads?Ive had a look. But im in two minds weather to get one cos of the bad experience ive had with my three saxo's

[Danr]

yes. I'm considering buying one for about 1200 and turning it around.

[Mattt-VTR]

Well i have said it before and i'll say it again, you get what you pay for.

i mean there are times where you get bargains, but most the time you are paying the value of the vehicle really, so save up a bit and get a nice car thats been well looked after.

[Jackman]

So you make a thread saying you want one.

But now are unsure because of an experience.

Im lost.

[Danr]

A guy called ROb has a nice red one for sale on here. Check it out!

Im lost.I really want one but i dont want to hav the same problems ive got with my current saxo

[Ocego_VTR]

can get decent ones for that price, but VTS's are that and are in A1 condition 2bh.

[Mrk1]

Look what I found and for 2k aswell. Looks very tidy imo. Bargain!

[lavo-vts]

[Payney]

Yes, easily... You aint going to get a top of the range MINT low mileage one for that... But there are some deals to be had for that price:

£2000 will buy a mint VTS honestly

[Ferg]

106 GTi and VTS are the same car ... If a Saxo you've had in the past can rust, so will a 106. Just make sure you give your next acquistion a real good look over.

[3cott]

I like the look of this one http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/660054.htm

Looks ok. Pictures are terrible but seems pretty standard. Get those stickers to fuck though.

[3cott]

Im gunner have to get rid of mine first or do some hard saveing

[Pat_Vts]

save up bit more to 3k

get uber mint VTS

[Pat_Vts]

im liking the gold gti £1400 if its really cammed lol...

[Payney]

I like the look of this one http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/660054.htm

I've seen better deals than that around tbh... If you look for a hour or more then you can really find something...

[Mark51]

tbh mate, id rather have a white VTS.

[3cott]

tbh mate, id rather have a white VTS.I would but not mine you wouldnt

[tsd_wee_balls]

i have had a white gti and have had 3 saxos 2 vtr's and my current vts

the gti and saxo are the same the only thing i think the 106 has on the saxo is the half leather but then u can buy the interior and put it in the saxo so its a win win!

my 106 was quicker but then it had more done to it than my saxo so just need to get more done to it

i sold my gti with 70'000 on it lowered cyclones install 306gti brakes manifold centre section backbox, induction kit, half cage, it was mint very well looked after!
sold 1 day after being advert'd at 4000 but that was about a year and a half ago

so do pay 4 what you get!

but hope you get a good one.
good luck chum

[blackvtrt]

my flatmates had to almost standard vts and currently got two, actually now one as off today nearly identical 106 gti's, said the gti are alot quicker. He bought the first 1 for £900 need afew odd & sodds doing for MOT mainly just new brake discs & pads, cost im £1200 in total, that was for an R reg with 90k on it, then afew weeks after he bought another one same coulour diablo red aroung the same millage for £900 needed no work, sold it today for £1600

[Karl]

lol @ GTis being alot faster.
Same car,
approx same weight,
same engine,
same gearbox.

Yeah - I can see the 106 being much faster too!

[blackvtrt]

just repeating what he said, had two vts with around the same millage and age as the 106 gti's, might just be the case of the 106's have kept there factory figure outputs better

[saxomad197]

i agree with fergie mate. I got a vts. 76k fsh 2 owners. 2500grand in april. Had no probs. Look at ten saxos over a year before i bought this 1.

Important rule... don't skimp... buy something decent or you'll regret it.

Things to watch out for... don't buy a car that's coming up to a cambelt change, or a big service. Don't buy a car that looks too good to be true for the money- it often is a pile of shit. Don't buy a car that has its engine running when you get there. Always, always get an inspection done- the AA will perform a beyond thorough investigation, at the very least get an HPI check done.

[saxomad197]

had a 106 broke down every month. Part are expensive compared to cit,vaux etc. Got take that into. Get a 106 gti interior 4 under 300quid.
