I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this for 4K with 58k on the clock! :surprised: Alright, It'll murder you at the pumps, but what a car for 4K! And all weather traction for 12 months of the year.

Ripe for a supercharger :driver:.
-
Or a HPA turbo conversion........565bhp anyone? :evilgrin: :driver:

that age of car will likely have the timing chain and/or hesitation issue so you'll need to budget at least £2k for those to be sorted
also it'll have the dual grilles, so if it were me i'd be spending another £750 getting the front end done (and then more sorting out the rear end so it's all S-Lined up)
alternative would be the get a slightly later car, or an early GTI which i'd prefer tbh

Don't worry, I'm not going to buy it, I just couldn't believe how cheap it is, but from what you're saying, now I know why! :happy2:
If I wanted a 4x4 hatch, I'd go for a MK4 R32, and scratch the itch I've had since 2003! I know they're flawed, but I love them, and prefer them over the MK5 R32 all day long. Long term it's a Golf R, but it'll be a few years before they are at my budget of 14K. :sad1:

There's quite a few Rs below £23k now. They seem to have absolutely plummeted in value. I'd give it another 18 months tops and I'd reckon there will be a few you can afford :happy2:

How quick are these as standard? What's the in-gear acceleration like?

0-62 in 6.4! Not too shabby.

Think you can get the golf r32 for about the same money

But pretty irrelevant. I imagine the 30-70 and 50-70 times are slower than a MK5 GTI...

Around 6K still for a decent one with around 75-80K.

Can't find those. Google was not my friend.

Where, I can't find one under £23k in GB (there's one in Ireland), please point me in the right direction as I'm looking for one...

Yeah, why not buy a dodgy looking car from a convicted criminal...

It has been for sale for months, so it's obviously a wrong 'un...
