Where abouts are you mate?
I might still think of selling mine

Should get a nice one for 3k. look at: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=3072.0
Can pick up a decent 3door with 80k fsh(a must) with 17s ect already on
Main thing to check is the tailgate and all the panels for rust. Obviously check the engines not been abused.
If you could stretch to 3500 you could pick up a highline

Prices seem to have crashed recently, even saw a really tidy R reg 3 ddor vr6 with leather and aircon for 2500 the other day

As above, I was offered a good one for 2k about a week ego.

there is also alot of bad ones about there there not hard to spot and usually are priced up way too cheap

after talking to a few peeps im now undecided about  one.   been put off by some so called issues with cam chains and expensive rebuilds.
something i dont realy know alot about.
id like a mk3 cause ihavent had one yet,  so might plump for an 8 or 16v 3 door instead.  and keep the cabby till mid summer.

theres a lot of bolox talked about vr6 chains ,they can go but it is obvious if they are on there way out (usually down to bad servicing and cold thrashing)
and also often its not the chains but the tensioner that is worn and can often be solved with a new hydraulic tensioner bolt,
dont be put off a vr6 as they can go for 150 k + without major work and you just cant beat that sound or the power delivery,

Il second that!!
test drove a mk3 16v and altho quick it just doint the supurb noise a vr6 has.
There is always a rick with buying any sort of car but the 2 vr6s iv owned have been sound.

ive driven a mates old v6 cougar and i must admit it did feel nice under the foot.
although a totaly different car i guess thefeeling is still the same.

is there a buyers guide anywhere.
thats vr specific.
