    underpowered is my first though.


    Check service history and MOT for mileage figures and see if they tot up.

    Get a HPI check done prior to purchasing it.

    Also 90bhp is pretty underwhelming, I'd be trying for a 110bhp or a later PD 130bhp instead given that there are plenty to choose from.

    And the 98 to 04 Golf is the MkIV not the MkVI.

    I wouldn't go along with this, the 90bhp isn't too bad. sure you're right the 110 and 130 will obviously be faster, but don't turn down a good car based on that statement.

    I'd have to agree, especially since the Mk4 is a cruiser at heart.
