On my hunt for more power...
« on: 28 February 2013, 20:46 »
I've spotted this.....

Does anyone personally know this car? Is that the ecu management light that's on?

What do you think if the price?

I would be getting it as a second car  :evil:

If I was buying a second car, I'd be looking for something more fun, maybe rwd  :evil:

First one:

That's not the CEL light, don't worry. That R32 kit and seats is worth the best part of £2k in itself, if it were me I'd buy it, strip the kit off and make most of the money back.

Second one is tidy, I wouldn't be put off by the mileage. Just check its had a recent cambelt/waterpump change.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good golf had three and looking for my forth  :cool:. But if I was buying a second car, I'd have to have a toy.

My reasoning is that eventually I may want to sell the 3 anni. And with a golf as a second car I have a practical car as well as something fun.

2k... Really?? I'd be keeping them anyway to be fair.

Seats fetch about £1k, bumpers, skirts and spoiler will be about another grand...expensive stuff!
