Is it a 1.8t or a VR6 ?

[Lukev85]

from what i can see its the V5

If it has done 100 xxxkms and they are highway kms, it would iquivalate to something like 50 xxxkms city kms, ask the dude, highway kms and better than city kms. No oil crappy residue being built up and that!

Everyone sell high mileage car will say it is highway kms how can you proof ? anyway 100K in 5 years is average usage.

Don't make any assumption in warranty cos these dealer are very tricky. Read all the terms and conditions.

Will definatly check the warrently details in depth.

I understand that 100,000kms for a VW is nothing, but just worried as this a big commitiment for me and i dont want a car that will be a constant headache and un relaible

vw are pretty good in terms of reliabiliy, i'd probably check to see if the main serivice areas have been looked after. i.e cam belt, water pump... coz if not expect to change it soon after you buy it.

sounds good though

Why does it have an FMIC? Has it been turboed? If it has, forget any sort of warranty.

hmmmm,,,,was the bora released in australia with the 1.8t motor?? I didnt think so,unless it was a special import.check that it was delivered as a 1.8t motor.then get back to us.
kms are not a issue.
v5 motor is not turbo and hense has no fmic.maybe you are looking at the oil cooler or radiator???

I can tell you now that the 1J Bora never came with a 1.8T. 2.0, 2.3l V5 and 2.8l V6 4Motion ONLY!!!

For $40 000 in receipts this thing is turbo'd most probably a swap or brought in a turbo from the states custom made, never the less this thing sounds nuts by the amount of money spent on it!
