Whats your milage???
« on: 14 July 2005, 13:42 »
Hello all

I feel like one of the luckiest MK2 GTI 8v drivers to have graced this planet.... Would you believe I recently picked up a mint 1989 with 45,000 on the clock, fsh supporting if the factory fresh interior didn't convince you. The car is standard apart from a metex exhaust, and has been loved instead of driven. Is this the lowest genuine milage MK2 out there or has someone else got a shrink wrapped example?

The car was in the family and it was handed down to me. Enquiries were made about selling it but it wouldn't have got anything near what it was worth, 5000 apparently. It is truly concourse, I really should sort out some pics.

I'm generally lurking around the Mk1 Forum but for what it's worth my '89 Cabrio has done over 240,000 and runs like a dream.

Mine's about 117k and as far as I can tell I've only got about 33k to go before the engine is finally run in, can't wait.  :laugh: :laugh:

Mine will be passing the 100k mark in the next few weeks  :cry:
There is a well known red 16V mk2 on the show scene on a g plate. It had about 32k on the clock when I saw it at stanford hall a couple of months ago. Seen it at quite a few shows now and it is definately in concourse condition.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?
