Title: Anyone recognise this car?
Post by: aldojay on 15 September 2011, 14:53
bought it about 6 months ago, has site stickers on it.

I'm selling now and wondered if the old owner has any history for it.

That's JV's old anni.

You won't be able to pm him yet as your post count is below 10, so the best bet would be to email him at jv@golfgti.co.uk

Yeah it did, but he bought a brand new genuine box and clutch to replace it.

Selling to save money really, I'm 135 odd a month for insurance. It wasn't mint when I got it the bumpers were wrong colors and the front was mostly White from chips and scrapes. Got them painted and sorted a couple niggles. It's mint inside and out now. It's on 95k and there's history up to 67k.

I'll give him a mail! Thanks alot mate. Or if someone could pm him direct him to this post would be ace

Yeah, my old car. Have seen it up for sale a couple of times since I had it.

Did indeed have a new gearbox and clutch, the receipts got passed on to the guy I sold it to.

Rear ride height does look weird!

It's had new rear springs on the back I'm thinking there STD golf springs maybe.

Bummer. Anything else you can think of I should know about the car mate? What owner were you? I'm the 6th

Could be, def not right!

Erm... think I was the 3rd owner. Had new Anni wheels in my time, the dealer was still allowing them to be replaced.

Never did any engine mods, was all standard.

Shame the other owners didn't keep the paperwork properly, 67k could well be the last time I did anything with it!

Did you buy it from somewhere in Scotland? That's where I last saw it for sale, was advertised on e38.

would the garage or whoever the bits were bought from not have a copy of the invoice

I got it from a mate about 6 months ago. He got it from eBay I think. It's one of the cleanest cars I've owned especially after getting the bumpers re done.

Yeah it's pretty crap someone buys a car of this type and doesn't keep up the history.
