Hi all, Thanks for reading this post

         I'm going to look at a golf gti 16v on tuesday, traveling 200 miles, and was just wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of what to look for. Its oak

green with 130,00 miles, is that alot,. with full service history. The guy said its a very clean example but its had 6 owners from new. He is asking 1495 for it, Is

that about right, and it is completely original.   

          I really appreciate any tips and information you may have. thx loads

yeah thats about the right price and a supposed rare colour lol. Jus check the clutch and gearbox, all the expensive bits really as most other parts are quite cheap, especially 16v stuff on ebay, there's loads of spares about.

thanks simcard

          its just a bit daunting travelling all that way to look at a car, it seems you have to go that far to find a clean example ,. Fingers crossed

check for rust in the usual places. round the screen and the tailgate are common places.
