N15 buyers guide?

[ak243]

Hey, does anyone have a buyers guide for n15?

EDIT: I remember seeing a thread a few weeks ago about a guy (had a silver 4x4 as the dp) who was looking to buy a gti and ppl giving advice as to what to look for. I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help?

I think we used to.
I found a link but it doesn't work? http://www.almeraownersclub.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=146228#post146228

Maybe someone else could help out.
There's more info in the paid members section.

Just look for rust. Rust is bad. Pull back the trim behind the rear seat belt reels. Rust there is bad news.
Pull the seat bases up and look along the seams where the wheel arch meets the floor. Rust on the inside indicates worse rust underneath.
To get an idea look at my members ride
Threads.

Yea, been looking for that, or rather asking the sellers to send me pics of the wheel arches.
Theres a car in london that looks good but the dealer isnt sending me proper pics. The pics he sent me only had the bottom part of the arches and he hasnt replied since asking for full pics.

A lot of places are like that. It's difficult to explain to civilians lol.
