Hi all,
Just joined the forum today, great to see such an active community for these cars. After having only bought new or nearly new cars all my life, and recently shelled out a lot of money on a campervan as a retirement present to ourselves, I’m contemplating trading in our 2018 fiesta for an A2 as a money saving venture; my dad had a TDI 90ps colour storm when they were still current and I thought it was brilliant. The slight concern I have about buying a 15+ year old car is that I definitely wouldn’t call myself an expert in the field of car maintenance, though I’m prepared to learn on the job; would this be a big drawback for me? With this in mind it sounds like the FSi would be a non-stater for me, and I’d be looking for the best condition one I could possibly find. One thing that would help with the maintenance side of things would be to find a local specialist garage, does anyone have any recommendations in Surrey?
