IMO mk3 owners are the tightest ever. Then MK4 closly followed by MK2.

Mk2 owners are in a class of there own who pays over the odds for new old stock WE DO! Sometimes we can't even do that but rather buy secondhand parts than aftermarket ones.
So sort that statement out!
The tightest people are the ones who buy a new MK then can't afford to put petrol into it or sell it after a year!

Majority though. There are some MK3 owes
ners that don't mind spending a few quid. I'd say then it goes MK1 owners then MK5/6. But then they either have a few quid or are leasing the car anyway.

Where all my moneys went.

my wheels cost me more than my mk3  :laugh:

I wouldn't say people that own mk3 are tight, it's what they can afford. Most cases house and family come before the car.

Mark 3 Owners are tight.....what a load of tosh.  My Anni was a steal at £500 but I have spent close to £750 on it and have only owned it for around 2 months now.  Long may it continue   :cool:

I've broken up a MK4, a MK3 and a MK2. 1.8T went from the MK4 quick but the amount of hagglers trying to knock half the price down mainly came from the MK3. :grin:

it's nice to see people going from mk4 to mk3. They are the ones that say the mk3 is the worse golf ever made. Well look at you now you peasants  :grin:

The idea that you can judge how much someone is willing to spent by which mk of golf they own sounds pretty retarded to me

I've spent close to 7 grand on my mk3 so does that make up for anything?  :grin:
