    Beater

    Hi all, its been a while since i have been on here.

    I have moved back to N.Z and was looking around for a lil beater to get me from A to B.
    I came across this 1997 VR6 Vento (Could be wrong) on a $1 auction.

    Volkswagen Golf VR6 1997 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

    What do you guys think? What sort of things should i keep an eye out for?

    Cheers,
