1,2,3 are service items
4 is due to the age of the car (corroded I presume)
5 is down to you kerb hopping/jumping bridges
6 won't change if you have a different car
7 might be down to parking damage, and won't help if you change the car
8 is covered on your insurance
9 should be too
10 is related to not doing 1,2 & 3 when you should have

Colour ?

I might be able to take it off you in it's current state if the price is right.

My Toledo's in a similar state of dis-repair (mainly bodywork) and was thinking of cutting my losses and getting a new one with a knackered engine to do my TFSI swap.

mine is similarly incapacitated with engine mount/gearbox casing issues, but i bought it with no s/hist and ive had one real problem thus far (the current one) and ive done 10,000miles in 6 months.
