Not feeling so good

[Fridgy]

Hi everyone
Noob to this site.
This has come about on my search for information.
I have just yesterday put down a deposit on a 1999 Golf 4th Gen Rally GLE.
It's Navy Blue and has done 151k. The price we agreed on was $ 7500
This is to be my daughters 1st car (she did save and is paying for it herself).
She originally was after a Corolla but there was nothing in her price range.
I started looking around and found this car from a wholesaler. She was ok about it and said ok.
But now friends tell me I'm mad, the cost to maintain and repair is enormous and that I should have looked at cars that are common and not from Germany.
On top of this the car was advertised as a 1.8ltr when actually it is 1.6ltr and no log books (both of which I overlooked when I had a look at it. The test drive went well and absolutely everything appears to work.
Have I stuffed up? Give it to me straight!


P/s When is the belt meant to changed?

Thanks for any responses
