The XT goes in for some rust repairs and closed door respray next week. Can't wait for it to be finished off.

As a family with 5 cars, I now service them all.
I still enjoy doing as much maintenance as I can, especially with the oldest car, a 2003 Mk4 Golf, which has some challenging electrical and canbus gremlins (par for the course with his model). I've managed to conquer most of them, but there's still one or 2 that have so far eluded me.
This has been the kid's hand-me-down first car for a few years now, and despite their best efforts to kill it, I've managed to resurrect it when insurance wanted to write it off. Pays to know a good repairer who is willing to be creative.

I know they've had their issues but hoping to get a goodun.
Anyone got or had one with major problems?

Also, do a PPSR check, which verifies whether the vehicle has finance, has been stolen or previously written off. It will be the best $2 you’ve ever spent

Thanks Dedja...
There is also the option of a Lancer, which we have had Mitsi's before and they have been awesome...
