New to the Forum - Seeking Advice to buy a Golf - Diesel

[fox]

Hi

I am new here and never owned a VW or rather any Diesel car.I have been reading here for the last couple of weeks and going through a lot of information here.

I am looking to buy a VW Golf Diesel.

Budget approx. 20K. What should i expect and what should be i careful about. I am looking to buy a Diesel primarily for the fuel economy and low rpm Torque.

I am really surprised to see no replies to my post.

Most people are still fast asleep except for those of us who finish work in an hour.

What size car are you looking for? Ive been in a GT golf but I think they may still be a bit out of your price range (the diesels hold their value).

Ive also been in a 1.9Tdi polo. For what it is it's a barrel of fun to drive as well as being an economical ride. If your looking for $/km the polo would (at my un-educated guess) be the pick of the bunch. Always look for full service history/log books.

There about 20 in NSW in the $20k - $25k bracket.

This would be my pick, should get it for a bit under the asking price if u haggle a bit....
