    Turns out the guy is a total VW fanatic, here is some of his other vintage stuff:

    Nice. I think they make great road cars, I was v.impressed with my bro's one he had for a while.

    And you get that warm fuzzy feeling when you buy from a dub nut. Or is that just me..? :lol:

    He was super honest with the sale, pointed out a couple of flaws, nothing too serious and the fact he loved VWs did make me feel safe with the Golf.

    This is my first 16v, I really like it so far, it cost nr the same as the Scirocco I just sold and for me its a better car all round.

    fastback! could be my most favorite vw of all time.
    i bought my mk4 of a similar type of guy. i spent more time inspecting his stripped out 911 engined beetles and campers than actually looking at the car i was about to buy.

    16v looks good. white too :thumbup:

    Well the drop links need attention and the exhaust needs looking at, think it has come apart somewhere slightly but thats just a bit of maintainence. Could do with a tune maybe as it is a little juddery under hard acceleration, particularly when cold.

    Apart from that i have only 200 to spend on it at this time, what do you good folks reckon would be the best way to spend it? Its a pretty tight budget i know!
