Golf GTI 8V 1992 Run out question

[caprigreen]

Hi everyone, was hoping you could help me. I am looking at a 1992 Capri Green GTI 8V . I thought all the later GTI 8V has electric windows as they were run out models , this one has manual windows , wing aerial non rainbow interior. Can anyone explain?

Thanks Steve

Sounds about right to me....

Run out's didn't all come with Rainbow interiors - (Depended what body colour they were, Red, Blacks & greys came with a red 5 stripe, BBM Blue and whites had Aqua) or electric windows.

They did all have 16V rear lights. Just cos it's registered in '92 don't mean it was a 92 year model - could have been sat in storage for a while @ the dealers.

Hi thanks for the reply, was just checking as I have to travel a long way to buy the car and was doing my security checks. Hoping to pick up on Saturday hopefully its as good as it looks in the pictures

Buy it on body condition ONLY...


Anything else can be changed/sorted/sourced...

Yes sound advice, no rust hardly been used, 42K  so you can imagine its top money but you get what you pay for

[X4MGS]

Rust isn't related to mileage...


Low mileage should't mean a high price unless it's totally backed up with all docs and a yearly service schedule either with VW or a VW specialist!


So make sure you give it a good going over and if it's top money I would be making sure everything is as it should be.


Got a link or picture?

^^^^ been for sale for yonks over here. 6k is way over priced imo. 3k would be more acceptable

Have you been to see the car ?
