Thinking of buying a MK2

[JezGTI]

I recently changed my policy from DirectLine to Elephant, for the same monthly premium went from TPFT to fully comp.  I'm doing the 10 month accelerator which I have been assured will be acknowledged as a full year if/when I change companies.

Cheers for the info guys, think I'll look elsewhere but a Golf GTi is definately gonna be mine
Where'd you recommend I look for one? Scoured Auto Trader and there's a few on there but I need to get rid of my car first as its funding the new one

look out for wet seats and if you can take plastic arches off an dlook behind there, they can sometimes hold a multitude of sins.  Im my case I wish I'd have done this.

Hi

I'm selling my Mk2 Golf J Reg 1991 Driver 1.6 3dr in White.  It has full service history, new MOT, tax til OCT, new service, done 141k but in good nick for age.  Has central locking, sunroof, and is 3dr.  I have done subtle modifications to it, including Big Bumper conversion, crystal lights front and rear, clear indicators, iridium effect bulbs at rear.  Debadged all round, including grille.  Eyebrow spoiler, GTi lower spoiler.  There are a few rust spots, but nothing major, sills are fine and arches are good.  It has 15" TSW alpines, brand new set of tyres (last week) worth nearly ?200 (Continental PremiumContact 195/50/15 as recommended by Which and AutoExpress).  Lowered 45mm.  It looks subtle and mean, and attracts a lot of looks.  Its has silver detailing inside (pedals, gearknob, handbrake, sills, some buttons etc)  I can supply more photos on request.  The asking price is ?1750.  For all enquires contact 07890 184578 or sticky@jjames.plus.com

Hi Mark,

Haven't been here for a while lately but just a small point.

You say on the spec for the first car you looked at that it had 'ABS' I am not sure any of the Mk2s had ABS. Until recently I owned (from new) a very very late 92 VW16v (so it didn't come much more up to date than that) and it did not have ABS. I am quite willing to stand corrected, but if I am right perhaps it just indicates that you have to look carefully at what any garage writes down as the spec for any particular model? Regards, yt.

K9JTJ - Thanks for the offer but I'm only really after a GTi 16v.

red16v - It was a privately advertised car, so maybe the owner made a mistake\lied... Either way I'll have a proper look at the spec next time

defo no ABS as std or a factory option on Mk2 GTi's
