Why Keep It?

[VR6_Wherry]

Sorry if its a repost...

Having inspiration trouble...MK3 8v GTi has got me really bored!

Shall i sell it and buy a cheap run around or keep it still?

I need reasons why its worth keeping other then its white lol!

Don't want a 16v or VR6 as i'm planning on going travelling soon but still confuzzled

Defo keep it Mate     I sold mine a while back and regretted it ever since until August when I bought an identical version and am loving it every day since.  The good thing about Mark 3's is that you can modify them at affordable costs and whatever you buy for it will hold it's value.  If you sell a Mark 3 you will pull about a grand(ish) usually and what could you buy for that which would give you that much enjoyment??   I tried a Rover Tomcat (mint and great runner)  but no where near. Then tried a Subaru Impreza Prodrive limited edition (mint and great runner)  Again no where near - was nice but enjoying the GTi more than ever before.
My advice is treat yourself to something for the Golf and the enjoyment will soon be back!!!!

Cheers     Deano

If you going travelling soon I'm assuming your going to sell it when you go?

Might as well just keep it till then than have to go through the hassle of selling / buying again.

Keep it I used to be a jap man and I've had a gti custom colour and now bought a vr6 in the space of a year and I've got the vw bug big time don't think I'm gonna change anytime soon

i also own a mk3 8v GTI and i love abusing it, had it for 4 weeks now and its great, albeit the drivers elecy window is knackered, exhaust is falling off lol

very chuckable car, and very good on fuel aswell . Nice daily car they are

Thats very true from all of you thats what i loved about it to begin with! Im now 20 and had the car for 2 years i just feel its time to get something else...

I will be selling it but hopefully to my brother so it will still be there for me to drive!

It is cheap to mod but i don't know what else i can do.. I've already got SPAX on it (adjustable dampers with a 60mm drop), piper cross induction kit, de cat, cat back Jetex Exhaust system, its all been serviced recently, DVD Player, nice sound system (not OTT) de-badged Grill, Hella Qins (Quads or Twins), Smoked inticators, smoked rear lights, VR6 splitter and i think thats it... Oh and its White like Adams was

Loads more you can do to it!

Thats kind of also whats putting me off lol PVW there was Turbo or Supercharged (i can't quite remember) 8v only 170 BHP which isn't that impressive altough having 331lb torque is pretty impressive.

I can't afford to be going down that route and would prefer not to...

I really want a Jeep tho to offroading so im kinda torn...
