    Checking Out a Vento in the coming days

    Hey guys,

    During my search of a golf, a really clean vento has popped up, pretty standard, just been lowered and has a sports exhaust. Is there anything particular I should be looking out for with this model car?

    Thanks in advance
    Cheers!

    Find out the condition of all the electrical stuff (ignition system particularly the ignition coil, look for cracks; ABS system, check for light; power windows), check if the heater and A/C is working well. Not massive problems if they're not working, but it'd be good to use any of those problems as a chance to haggle the price down. You're bound to replace them if you're planning to use the car for a while.

    Ventos were very good cars,and are basically the sedan version of the Golf.

    Sold in most markets as the MK3 Jetta.

    Yeah I've done a fair bit of research and there doesn't seem to be too many complaints. Can't wait to check it out, hopefully it gets the green light!
    Cheers!
