newbie from essex

hi everyone, how are you all? right here goes, i'm gonna be in the market for a new motor in the new year and a bora caught my eye the other day, you don't see many of them about so maybe thats why. anyway i'm gonna have about 2.5k to spend so i was wondering what do you guys think i can get for that? insurance isn't really a problem as i'm 29 with full ncb. it does need to be fairly rapid though as i'm getting bored with my 2.0 veccy. also what do i need to look out for when going to view one?

welcome along

i have no idea about bora's but im sure someone will be able to help you from here

Nice choice mate

Thing is for that sort of cash youve got a real choice in 2.0se / s versions along with 1.6 versions but if you want tunable ide go for a diesel yeah the V5 is quick but diesel is the new petrol

Hope they help

ooh i'm liking that black v5 except for that wood on the dash. what are my options for changing it and how easy a job is it?

could you strech to a v6 four motion ? they are rapid

Dash is easy to sort m8,can be swapped for carbon effect or i think you can get brushed ally as well.

now i'm liking the sound of the v6, what sort of money do they go for? i think it was a 4 motion that i spotted on saturday. good news on the dash then, i'm fairly handy with the spanners so i should be able to sort that out then.

Alloy dash trim normally around £115 - £120 see link

and you should find they clip off but a wee bit fiddley

V6 Boras start around roughly £3500 - £4000 see link

hmm i think the v6 may be a bit too pricey at the mo, but the v5 sounds a good option. is there anything i need to check when looking at them? i know vw's are pretty good but most cars have their weak points
