trouble selling your mk2? Double the asking price!
« on: 17 September 2017, 14:24 »
This car has amused me for ages now:

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/golf-gti-mk1-mk2/vw-golf-mk2-gti-auto-air-con-lhd-show-car--collector-quality/3817143

I mean, LHD, it's an auto and the mods are of questionable taste.

"G60 front headlamps and grill" - oh no they aren't.

"blue chip investment" - bollocks.

"show car collector quality" - um huh.

"BE ULTRA QUICK THIS CAR WILL NOT BE AROUND FOR VERY LONG!!" - well you got that one wrong.

The car has been listed for about 3 years now. For the first 2 it was up at £7491.
Then for the last year or so, it's been £5491.
Still no sale.
Now, it's been inflated to £9991  :laugh:

Sooner or later he's gonna catch an idiot!
Mk4 Golf TDI Estate 4Motion, remapped 1.9. Sweet runner = keeper. She is the 66th vehicle I've owned and hopefully, the last.

I thought it was only me who giggled at that every time it pops up. Front seats don't match back etc etc

I reckon it'd struggle to shift at 991.00  :laugh:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Is it wrong that I was tempted to message and ask how much interest he has had in it?

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
