I say hold out for a 16v. Try and find the latest spec you can for the money. One will turn up.

Piston heads is not the best place to look for a mk2 for a reasonable price. Most are enthusiasts which adds to the cost :grin:

I price mk2's on the bodywork. The paperwork is the last thing I'd worry about for £1700

yeh i am definatly doing to look at this 16v one

But its done 144k and if it needs a engine rebuild at 150k it does not give me long!  I will see if i can negotiate the price down but really want to just see the condition of the body work!

Its always worth a haggle. You never know  :wink:

150k is nothing on these old v'dubs! I'd snap that up if it has no rust.
recon box too!

do a search for common rust areas.

As said, bodywork is most important. :smiley:

You can buy mine if you want.  Getting a company car in a fortnight.  167K J reg 16v.   royal blue 5 door.  6 months tax 11 months MOT - flew through.  I need to replace the middle exhaust silencer as it has a leak, that's all.

Very nice mate, and don't bother with the OZ wheels - IMHO, standard wheels look better than them. If you're going for it, try offering the seller 1800, that's what I'd pay.  :wink:

Yeah defo, would be looking for some nice bbs wheels along the way anyway i reckon. 159,000 miles too much? Only thing holding me back, heard they are pretty bullet-proof it maintained well though... Long journey next weekend anyway, 1hr 15mins on plane from Edinburgh to Birmingham and then 40mins on train to Worcester  :shocked: wish me luck  :smiley:
