mate do a lot of research as owning a mk1 can work out very expensive especially if you get hooked on the car you have bought :huh:
keep a very clear head and try not to let your heart rule, but if you get the right one it will make you feel so cool it hurts :cool:
and it will ALWAYS put a smile on your face when driving it :rolleyes:

i seen that one on ebay! the rust on it major? sills need replacing on it it says is that a major job?
-
dunno wether ull find a decent gti for around 700 then... mine was 620 exactly but mines not a real GTI so...
good luck tho, ive yet to drive mine for long distances but from what i have driven they seem like a nippy little car, cant help thinking it feels far less scary than my mini at speeds, whether thats a good or bad thing is up to you lol...

doesnt have to be a gti, seen one on ebay ie the one in the link above! , im tempted for the money!!
-

what ya recon?
Mk1 golf driver 1.3
Tax till end of june
MOT till end of august
car is very solid, had re-spray a few year ago in TNT orange.
electric windows
7 x 15 ATS cups
weber carb
coilovers all round car handles very well
stripped out interior with 2 bucket seats and Luke harnesses
flushed boot
reconditioned alternator
last MOT it had a full new exhaust system
both front wheel bearings done a few weeks ago
car starts first time every time and pulls well
few a spares with car, chin spoiler and eyelid spoiler and a few other bits. also comes with a full set of black VR6 storm corrado interior. front seats in good condition with no rips and just a little wear on drivers seat. rear seats are in mint condition.
All in all the car is very nice, sits well and drives well. there are a few bits that let it down such as the oil leaks and as the car is only a 4 speed its not great for motor way driving which, as travailing to uni and back that is mostly what i do. this would make a very nice project car for possible engine conversion or just to keep the car running over summer then would make nice winter project.

I would say it's QUITE rare as before 1983 they where rust buckets so to last 30 years is known but......
Then VW started getting there act together so i would really check that chassis.

Service History?
Mileage on clock ...Can it be verified?
Re-Spray would ring my alarm bells and even more with interior changed...Check with DVLA for any claims and owners?
Oil leaks.....That's not looking good but may not be a disaster
In fact....I apologise if i am wrong but is this a joke.... :grin:
