you'd be mental to spend 2k on a mk2. 1k max for the car, with money to fix it when things ~~inevitb~~ ~~invet~~ inevitably go wrong.

Post by: Madmax on 16 January 2009, 16:51: Hi mate & welcome.

Are you set on an MK2 as you could get a decent MK4 GTI for that money. :smiley:

I did the opposite to you & sold my MK4 for an MR2, still have it but it's in need of an alternator. :(
Awesome to drive & the seating position is fun but i miss my hatchback.
