OK guys, Im about to take the plunge and buy me a 97 Golf VR. Its a US spec with 69,000 miles (or so it says). The car is in perfect condition on the inside and out and a very clean example. No rust ,no wear in the seats, the steering wheel, gear knob and peddals (moreso the break peddal) have a little wear but in line with the miles shown. The car has had 1 previous owner but there is no service history. The car has been modified from standard with ther usual bits like Jamex cone filter, exhaust and a chip not sure what one. The owner has the original filter and has shown me a chip about 1 in
