What happened to the last one? What did I miss?
Title: Re: Word...just put a deposit on a C-Reg Gti....
Post by: mix on 17 July 2006, 15:15
She was broken into and because they snapped the door handle off, ripped out the imobiliser and wrecked the steering coloumn the repair bill would have been 950 smackers..so the insurance company scrapped her :(

Post by: Horney on 17 July 2006, 15:24
AH I read about the break in, just didn't realise it was that bad.

At least you've found another cracker though!

yup, gonna pick her up saturday!! 

She has low-milage for her age, the owner has had her for 12 years :grin: and the guy selling it is putting on a new MOT as we speak...

Only problem he says it has is slight surface rust on the passenger door...time to break out the spary cans again!

Yup, and she is totally stock (even has the original headunit by the looks of things..) so i think she may stay that way too :)

Oo oo atlas grey cru!

There is an 89 atlas grey gti for sale near me, looks identical with the wheels and also has small bumpers and has 110k on the clock. The seats are shagged though, ripped and sagging, and it has a big deep scrape on the passenger door and that's up for £995 so i'd say you've done very well compared to that.
