Newbie Looking for a Mk3
« on: 18 July 2012, 12:18 »
Hi everyone!

Great looking site! I am Tony from Telford and I am 22. I am in the market for a mk3 GTI!

this will be my first VW had minis the the last few years, but need a second car! Run my own mini forum so keen to get on the VW seen too!

Looking to learn some things from you guys and any advice on buying a mk3 GTI you can give me?

Cheers Guys
Tony

Hello  :smiley:

See my rust guide here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=189917.0


Good service history is required but engine wise they are fairly bulletproof.
