told me he made an error posting the photo's of the 3 door interior,and didn't notice himself, he has lots of photo's of golfs apparently.
the prob with the gearbox was something to do with the reverse popping out and crunching when holding it in. 

2k for a mk3 that needs a new gearbox.. no thanks! :grin:

The gearbox has been fixed! Still expensive though!

or you could buy my cabriolet... ;)

.....at least my gearbox has never needed fixing and it's already got had the cambelt was done <10k miles ago and clutch <1 yr ago,  front brakes and tyres all done in the 6 months / 1000miles... AND it has never been used for towing...


seriously though... that seems like a quite a lot for a P-reg regardless of mileage.... seems like a random thing to ask for, but it's a hard one to fake if it actually has mega-miles on it.... ask him for a photo of the footwell (and make sure it's the right car!).... 67k miles looks like this:



also - the seat stiching on the colour concept looks pretty different from the Recaro's in the cabriolet... or am I getting over-suspicious again?

Not sure about the footwell idea cos my car has done 120k and looks just like the one in lostboks pic! The steering wheel and gearknob can sometimes give it away though if standard!

Worn seat bolsters have probably gotta be the biggest give away id say, gear knobs, pedal rubbers and steering wheels only take a few quid and minutes to swap over.

pedals = meaningless - as easilly swapped.... I've seen a lot of base floor matts that look very worn....
