MK2 Golf GTi , power steering, £500 ono

[Dave20046]

Selling for a mate, he's got a white mk2 golf 1.8 Gti with power steering and electric windows. Seems cheap seeing as they're semi sought after by v-dub heads, would buy it myself for getting to work in the snow but I have too many vehicles at present :(

Won't bother putting pictures up unless anyone's interested - just thought I'd post on the off chance someone likes them / needs a run around

[Tom_the_great]

you have a PM :)

[Specialone]

I wanna see pics, I love mk2's.

does have surface rust at bottom of passanger door, slight bit around boot lock and back rear panel that has been treated by previous owner, nothing major given the price of the car and its structurally sound but would like to make any buyer aware now.

[Dave20046]

It's a decent car from a genuine seller, the guys not had any problems with this for aslong as he's had it (atleast a year) and has used it daily. He's an enthusiast (had quite a few golfs) so has spent far more on it than economically sensible. I'd have no quibbles buying it, and at £800 (on the steel wheels) I think it's well priced. There aren't many cheap runabouts you can get that are actually a decent car (ok I like mk2s), have power steering and are reliable - not really the same as ebay lottery

It does look good with the starmags on too - I asked him to send me decent pictures :rolleyes:
I was after those arty shots scenester types that like quirky cars and are doing a photography course take.

Hi Dave, i think ill have to pass as just needs a little bit more work then i can manage before winter :(

sorry again,

[Specialone]

Wish I had the room for this, my mk2 didn't have power steering and with 205's all round and a small momo steering wheel it was hard on the forearms.

[Dave20046]

Hi Dave, i think ill have to pass as just needs a little bit more work then i can manage before winter :(

sorry again,

I can ask him if he'd be prepared to do the work before it goes for an agreed sum with a deposit left?

Unless that was polite for 'looks like a bag of wank, no thanks ':D

I'll back the car as a good'n but I won't get offended, as it isn't mine haha.

[Dave20046]

£500 anyone?

[NTECUK]

It's the resesion :(
Try eBay

[Dave20046]

i know :(
Ebay's the next stop I guess

[Specialone]

Said before, I'd love another but ain't got room or spare cash ATM.

Hmmm, power steering in a mk2, bliss lol

[joshwalker094]

And here's me sitting with a spare £1000 in the bank, tempting but I have no car licence. And then I have insurance renewal of £900. I wish him all the luck in selling it, looks a bargain

[Fallout]

For £500, that seems a bit of a steal. Shame it's not standard though. All that suspension tweakage, messing around with the body-styling, wheels etc. make it worse in my opinion. I'm sure he'll shift it on ebay though.

[NTECUK]

All the suspensIon tweeks make it more desirable.
All the Essex crowed love that.
If you took it to.the 8 ball.£500 be easy to reach.
If you sell it this way and need a place to crash over night pm me.

[Dave20046]

CHeers ntec, we'll see how it goes on ebay.
Cheers for the other bumps guys.

[plowsie]

Such a steal...I could park it at work then drive over the road to Edition 38 haha! Can't afford it though. Good luck with the sale.

[Dave20046]

I'm going to try get my insurance company to let me insure it for free... after all while I'm driving this I can't be driving my shiny expensive one...... will see how that goes! HA

COuld any mods passing change the title to reflect the lower price?
CHeers
