New to the site and to gti's
« on: 23 February 2010, 16:22 »
I went looking at a mk3 gti today 16v. It's done 150k with not much history but the engine runs sweet. It's got full colour coded leather interior which is a bonus. Is there anythything I should be on the lookout for? The body is in very good condition also.

Thanks for your time,

Bretty

Hi and welcome.
to be honest it's a old car with 150k alot of things might go wrong hopefuly not though. Are the seats black and same colour as car? could be a rare 16v colour concept.

Yea it's a 16v colour concept. The engine is running sweet as a nut it's been very well looked after. And it's also cheap. I'm taking a mate who I work with to have a look as he's well into his gti's. I'm also a mechanic so I should be able to cope with anything it throws at me.

I hate to say but vw never sold a 16v colour concept...I guess it 's had a trim change which t.b.h is not uncommon

They want 995 quid for it. The thermostat housing gasket is leaking on it but they are doing that this week.

I doubt it is a colour concept, £1k is a lot of money with those miles.

If its a genuine Concept tho then its worth it!!
I've got an 8valve thats done 192,500 and it still starts first time no matter the weather and I know theres a few guys on here that are in the 200,000's an still runnin, if its not a genuine concept tho it is about £300 above price I'd say.
