I agree with the bit about the mpg, no way it can do that.
I have seen this car at the north east motor show (I think its this one, it's pretty individual!!

) and its is mint. It is as perfect as described, not sure bout the 8 grand price tag though even when its had that much spent on it. The only older golfs i've seen go for that money are immaculate originals or WILD cars such as A7 UFO!
