Hi, I am considering a 1.8T 97 with 100K on it. I know it will probably need a new timing belt soon. Also, the airbag light seems to be always on when i test drove it. the car seems to be in good condition otherwise, but I have a strong feeling that there are hidden problems. I trust the person I am buying from but that person is not very knowledgable about cars and may have a problem that they dont even know about. Would any one have any experience with th 97 1.8T, pros, cons, things to look out for? also would anyone have any information about what such a car sells for these days? Any advice on what to test before buying and on how I can find out if I am buyng myself a new problem instead of a dependable car that will last? Thanks in advance.
