| 632157 | 2008-01-20 15:16:00 | I'll be in for a new 2nd hand car soon. Got my mind on either a VW Passat or a Toyoya Altezza - from year 2000, up to $14k max. What do you think? And what does auction grade 4 mean? |

| 632158 | 2008-01-20 17:26:00 | Toyota Altezza. just forget the VW. Both expensive cars if something goes wrong, and unless the VW is a NZ new car something will go wrong. And at that price range the VW will be a jap import. Is this off trade me or through turners? |

| 632160 | 2008-01-20 17:59:00 | VWs are fast, spirited, nimble and sporty..but like they said above $$ when the parts go broke. And...you need a real Kraut to work on them...it's a whole different mindset to not ruin the engines and soft parts with a ham fisted sturm und drang mechanic. Go for the Toyota...at least it's got some recognizable and less expensive parts on it. |

| 632164 | 2008-01-20 20:14:00 | And what does auction grade 4 mean? From memory.....cars are graded from 1 to 5. 1 being a total piece of crap, damaged or modified. 5 being mint condition or new. I would say a grade of 4 would be very favourable :thumbs: Toyota |

| 632165 | 2008-01-20 22:18:00 | Altezza hands down. :cool: The VW WILL make a nasty hole in your back pocket. I believe what AllBlack said about the grades is correct. 4 is good. |
