Good shit boss. I have an mk5 jetta and realllllly want an mk2 for a project.
Shouldn't be that hard to find parts for depending on where you live.

go for the mk1

they're bulletproof, tiny, and handle brilliantly.

Also way better looking than the mk2 imo.

caddies are sweet too.

Terrible choice for your first car imho.

Yes, do it. Do not settle for any other version.
Though mk1s are over 30 years old at this point, so you have to watch for rust, lots of parts will need to be replaced. hell, my Mk1 started leaking brake fluid from the back passenger brakefor no reason, and its been sitting for a month or so now. Fuel pumps also tend to fail on older VWs, and they have 2, one inside the tank and one external, so make sure those are running. Despite age and issues that will come up, I still recomend Mk1s, as theyre boxier and generally look better (who need 4 lights anyways?)

I have a mk1 Cabriolet and everyday I wish it was a GTI, or atleast a regular golf.

Still love it to bits.

Follow your dreams.

>Coworker bought a somewhat decent Mk 2 Golf 1.6 diesel for 450 euros.
>500 euros later the car is factory fresh.
Now he intends to drop a 1.9TDI from a Mk 3 Golf in that car and make it somewhat of a DD, reliable sleeper.
Even with this 70 bhp 1.6TD the car has gotten to 140kph confirmed.

It may not be the most powerful car in the world, but a factory restored Golf 2 is a fucking headturner, no matter where you go. He's salary is around 550 euros/month so he can afford to take proper care of it.

As for a beginner, I don't really recommend an older car. Especially a GTI. But if you are a petrolhead, an Mk2 Golf can be a nice purchase.

Confirming Mk.2 Golf for fun times.
For your 1st car tho, maybe not the best choice.

Offered to take it, but says it may cost "too much to be worth of saving". Yeah probably I could drop 500 eur on another random Golf, but this one has been in my family for the last decade.
He used to mention about selling it for scrap or papers, but nothing such recently.

Watch out for rust, apparently they were built out of horrible soviet steel from east germany.

I'd think really hard about it
My father had a similar golf 2, 1.6 JXD, red 5 door for 14 years, we went everywhere with it, and it never left us on the road.
In the end father sold it for scrap (junkyard)
I am still sad about it, so if there is a way save it
My first car is a 1992 Škoda Favorit, 80.000 original KMs, never been in an accident, rust free. It was just 2 days away from the scrapyard, but i bought it for 150eur
Best decision i made, after more than a year of owning it i couldn't be happier, it never let me down.

There's a local scrapyard that I go to.

He often buys cars for scrap, but usually takes an extra week or two before filling papers.

It means I can get cars for as little as €40.

Yeah I'm from Romania, and pic related is the actual Golf I'm talking about (picture taked in March this year).

I've mentioned the story of the Golf a few times before, it's been my father's before it was my uncle's and that's one of the reasons I want it. According to him, the car caught fire because of the electrical part, but I'm not aware of any other damaged. My uncle vagualy mentioned a carburator change.

1.6 Petrol engine, strong metal on it (considerably stronger than any car we had so far), had even central locking back when we first got it.

>>17815062
My Grandfather had a Series 3 Jaguar XJ6 that he scrapped just before I got my license.

I think he got £30 for it from the scrappers.
He just didn't want to "deal" with it anymore.

I tried to persuade him so I could have it instead, but by that point he totally despised it.

It was specialist maintained since new and ran and drove perfectly.

The only problem? A rusty cross member.

My point is I've regretted it ever since. Don't let it happen to you.

I pass by to see if the Golf is around every now and then and been told by family that it may not go anywhere any time soon, but I guess I have to be cautious about it.

Another similar story is my aunt's Kadett. She never changed oil, spark plugs or anything besides maybe antifreeze. Car got kinda rusted and every winter she'd just take out the battery and leave it in grandpa's garage until it was warm again to drive it. She scrapped it this year, took the poor car on wheels to it's death and got a laughable 75eur for the whole thing. Damn shame.

You're mistaking them for the golf 3. Golf 2s were in production for only 1 year after the fall of the wall. I got a '85 golf 2 in the garage that has less rust than a '96 golf 3 that's my secondary. The golf 3 was always parked in a garage until I got it 6 years ago, the golf 2 was parked outside back when it was dd'ed till '02 or something.
