Hi, ignorant newbie here, be gentle! Hoping for some thoughts, I viewed a Golf today at an independent dealer, the guy seemed really nice, no bad vibes. I liked the car too, it ran sweetly and looked in OK condition for mileage. What confused me a little was that the dealer freely pointed out that the tyres and clutch needed replacing, they were both obvious actually, he also said that this had put a couple of people off. He said he would get these and anything else that needed doing fixed if I wanted it, new cam belt too, but it just seemed odd to do it this way round; surely he would sort these things first? My concern was that it wouldn't go into gear once during my test drive, this is presumably the clutch but I won't know this for sure until its been replaced...also the tyre wear was slightly uneven not markedly so, how would I know if the whole chassis had been bent? Sorry if these are daft questions thanks :-)
