Should I buy this car and get rid of my MX5, which is red and a bit girlie!!!! Metallic Black Golf GTI MK2 1.8 8V 1992 (J) It has Cobra racing seats, SS exhaust system, Port and Polished heads and loads of other extras/spares. It does need a new front wing and one of the tappets has gone, but otherwise a very tidy looking car. The guy wants £600 for it. Any info/opinions would be greatly appreciated.  |

pics dude we gotta see pics...............  i would say at this stage if you are seriously considering it, then knock his door with £450 notes in your pocket waft it in his face and say thats it .................... tell him it needs work doing (taps) and thats your offer take it or leave it, don't beg him thou make your offer stand your ground and walk away if need be, let him tell you what he will take minimum then you can squeeze it a bit.....and a bit more. then you probably get to your price. stop and think am i happy to pay that, if not walk away and he might well call you back with another offer, cheaper !!!!! but, don't quote me on that ;D It will work if he is desperate to sell.....but ask yourself why!!!!  |

Put it this way, if I had £600 spare I would go and buy it whilst your still making your mind up.
That is the best Golf Mk they ever did, a new tappit is no probs to fit, and a wing fitted and sprayed would only be a couple of hundred tops.
What's the mileage - does it look like the car has done hard miles etc..

Flip a coin in the air
[glow=red,2,300]Heads you buy it[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]
Tails you don't[/glow]
When the coin is in the air, whichever side you suddenly hope it comes down on is the right decision
