Do it. They look great.

Bought a non-GTI 1.6 8v model and never looked back. Super easy to wrench on, incredibly simple and logical piece of engineering.
They're super fun to fuck around with. Get it!

5K with 200,000KMs
Don't you think that's kind of steep for a 27 year old car?
>>17509521
Laughed

maybe, but its in good condition and I cant find any better
Engine/transmission failure likely?

>Engine/transmission failure likely?
I don't know shit about cars anon. But I will say this again. They're asking five fucking grand for a twenty seven year old car with 200000KM.
All cars can have engine and transmission failure if they're not maintained properly, again not a car mechanic, I have worked on other machines though and will say a little grease does fucking wonders, and if someone doesn't take real good care of their car, its unlikely it would have made 200000km in 27 years.
Either way, add to the price of the car, the price of the all fluids/filters/brakes/others you're going to have to replace as soon as you take ownership because you don't know what has been done till then.
What matters is, if you think its worth it to you, then its worth it. Personally, I wouldn't give anymore than $2000 for any car with more than 15 years old.

>>17513727
thats where you're wrong buddy
>>17512580
So a twin turbo supra should be like 6k right?
>>17509549
16v g60...
Only came on the Limited. Bout 76 made world wide.
>>17512730
Yeah but now you own a Mk4 golf, the least popular GTi ever made.

Go away Ameritard.
In the UK a well executed restomod MK1 GTI can go for ~10k GBP. Do it OP, just make sure the body has no rust, everything else is an easy fix.
>>17515080
I'm not an amerifat and I was just memeing, I generally hate FWD but if any car goes well with it it's the Golf. Or the 205.

I know, I know...
I still love old golfs tho.
Really, drive a well sorted 16v mk2 and you'll know what I'm talking about.
>>17515033
>the least popular GTi ever made
>not the 2.slow mk3
>>17515261
Have you driven an ABF 16v or VR6 mk3?
>>17515308
I specifically said 2.slow mk3 though. Nothing against the 8v engine in itself, it's sturdy as fuck, but it's not GTI material.
>>17515325
Yup the 2L 8v Mk3 golf GTi is slow.
Mk3 Mk4 are best for parts into the Mk1 or Mk2 really.
But no point getting to much HP or TQ though, at the end of the day its still an old fwd car. Guess it really depends on your plans for it.
