You will get a good Mk3 gti for that money. Or a naff Mk4. :grin:

Sounds like you're looking at either a Mk3 GTI or a Mk4 1.4, albeit an early one...

*sigh* do back and read it again - carefuly this time! :P

MK 3 GTI I reckon - you should get a minter for that. Dunno how easy it'll be finding a 5 door though?

OK, I'll translate, there's missing commas and granted it's not grammatically (sp? lol) correct so that's why you're all getting confused...... :laugh:

....They're off away for two weeks taking in RTTS, when they get back they will be car hunting. His wife wants a 1.4 Golf that looks wicked, but he wants a GTI. Either of these options have to be a 5 door, so for 2.5 - 3k, what can he expect. :wink:

Personally, I'd go for a nice 5 door mk3 GTI, as already said you should get a quality one for that money, I wouldn't bother with a 1.4 mk4, that will be slooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww. :smiley:

5 doors are more plentiful than 3 door!

He should find a good late model with all the toys for 2.5k max.

^^ I know over all they are, but I didn't think there were many 5door GTi's about? Might have been wrong on that one though - I tend not to notice 5 doors as much!  :laugh:

On the mk3 it's actually harder to find a 3 door GTI than it is a 5 door. Same for mk4s, you see more 5 doors than 3 doors and it looks like the same will happen with the mk5.

That's odd - when I was looking for ine I saw nothing but 3 doors - but then again maybe I just ignored 5 doors with out registering them...or it could just be because I'm in Saafend!

Post by: gibby on 23 May 2007, 14:26
I think it's probably a case of you just ignored them.
Title: Re: cant make our mind up!!!
Post by: Neaty on 23 May 2007, 14:27
there are definately (or so it seems) more 5 door mark 3 and 4's about. I was looking on the internet for mark 4's and out of about 100 there was probably 8-10 3 doors

oh now i see it. there's a lot to be said for punctuation.
Title: Re: cant make our mind up!!!
Post by: Len on 23 May 2007, 14:38
I had no trouble finding one. plus Billy has had no trouble finding them since. So I think there are more 5's than 3's!

Ahh ok - it was the bad use of brackets and the lack of commar that confused you - I thought you'd mis-read the 1st golf as Gti. My bad!

And yeah the 5's vs 3's thing - i probably was just looking for a 3 door, so negating the 5 doors and simply forgetting they ever existed! ha ja
