Newbie - hunt for Mk3, I think
« on: 12 June 2005, 17:47 »
Hi All,

After a mk3 golf, just not sure what model. Fairly limited as only have around £1500 to spend, which looking around will get a <95 8v gti or driver with higher mileage, or a 1.4 boredom box of lower mileage.

I'm not too fussed on speed as I intend to spend the rest of my money on a westfield (hence the budget) but I guess some performance wouldn't got amiss!

Is there a site anywhere with some specs so I can do some more research?

Apart from springs/shocks which can easily be changed, are there differences in suspension between the models (anti-roll bars etc)?

Cheers, off to do more research!

Dom

I should do, but unfortunately it needs to be my sensible car and carry the little 'un and the like, so needs to be safer and a bit larger

hello :smiley:. I don't think the insurance is much different tbh, £10's rather than £100's.

Nah there wasn't much difference at all... worked out at £30 in the end I think.

Car was sold so it doesn't really matter anyway. Seen a few on ebay which all end before my bonus gets paid on the 21st. Ah well, have to wait a week!
