My first VW!!!!!!!!
« on: 18 July 2007, 20:01 »
Hello all,

I have today bought an 1995 MK3 Golf GTi 8 valve! 5 door, dark red, black leather. 106,000 miles and loads of history. Just had a recon gearbox and new clutch too. Drives really well and I am made up. Paid a deposit and collect it on Saturday. Can't wait!  :smiley:

Looking forward to bombarding you all with stupid questions as I get to know my way around it.


Mark.

£1250 with 5 litres of synthetic, oil filter and a timing belt thrown in. It also has VR6 BBS alloys. The front 2 are in need of a bit of TLC so I have 2 more of the same wheels in the deal also.  :grin:


Any good?

Thanks! I didn't think of a 16v to be honest. I think the cheaper insurance and better fuel economy will be enough to keep me smiling.  :smiley:
