Looking to buy an Arosa...

[R3bb]

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy an Arosa as a second commuting car - either a 1litre or 1.4.

I've seen a few at around the 100k mileage - what are they like around this mileage?
Also, I'd like an automatic if poss - is there anything to look out for with these gearboxes?

If your going for an automatic make sure its had a cambelt change and the service history is up to date. I love my automatic Arosa - its a glorified go-kart !!!

Have you thought about a 1.4TDI Arosa?

There are some really cheap ones comming up later, there is a grey on on autotrader at the minute for £2200. They are fantastic cars, especially for commuting.

But ALL models need cambetls changing at 40K or 4 years

Cambelt I was going to ask about, thanks!
A diesal would be good, but I'm looking to spend £1 - £1.5k

What year etc are you looking for??

Mine's a 1.4 16V Sport with 55,000miles, W Reg and I paid £2100 for it...

Got one now.
Thats a good price, that spec would be more like £3500 in London.
