    Well, took it for a test drive this arvo and had a good look around and over it.
    It's as straight as a die, full VW service history from day one by both owners, drove brilliantly, it's as tight as a drum, not a squeak, rattle, hum at all. Trans shifted really well, pulled up straight and true, all electrics worked.

    I guess the only downside is that it appears a little thirsty, average fuel was sitting at 10.2l/100 and it hadn't been reset for over 2000k's. That and the fact that it has to run premium unleaded (95 minimum) means it will cost a little bit more to run for her, but I can somehow see us funding this for a while anyway, so no real biggie there.

    Just gotta wait for him to get another trade-in val on it at the Honda dealer tomorrow. He's updating to a new Jazz..

    Update.
    Bought it. Picked it up last Friday and dropped it off yesterday morning at my mechanic for a RWC. Just needs a CV boot, so waiting on that. He gave it a thorough check-up and said it's a good, solid car.

    Now I want to do a couple of small things to it for her, hopefully before Chrissy (it's being kept at my folks place ATM, so I need to go there to do stuff on it).
    Firstly, I want to fit a more updated headunit that will allow her to connect her iPhone. The car already has bluetooth but I suspect that is only for calls, not audio streaming, right? AFAIK it has the RCD300 headunit.

    I've looking at upgrading to the RCD510. It looks like I'll need the CANBUS update module too. Are both these genuine plug-and-play?
    Do I also then need to fit an AUX port like those found on ebay, eg
    Volkswagen Golf Jetta EOS MK5 2003 TO 2009 AUX Port MP3 Interface Adaptor KIT | eBay

    Window tint will happen next week too. Hopefully I'm on the right track with this.
    Anyone in Melb who does supply and fit of these?

    Cheers,
    Matty
