Hi All,
Does anyone fancy a cheap old Golf? 1.8L petrol, manual with PAS, 5 door, dragon green (I think?).
My Dad's mate has owned this for about 8 years but replaced it with a Mk4 model last Aug so this has sat unused, no tax or MOT since. I replaced the cambelt and brakes on it about five years and 19k miles ago. It's had a recent new back box, has a sunroof, alloys and some service history, old MOTs etc. It's done about 100k I think.
My Dad has been tinkering with it and it starts, runs, stops and steers ok. Clutch and gearbox are fine and engine sounds decent, no funny noises, smoke or anything like that.
Doubt it'd need much for an MOT, perhaps a couple of tyres as one goes down if left for a few days. It seems to leak a bit of rain water into the rear footwell (probably door membrane) but the floors are in good nick and not rusty. I think there's a bit of rain water in the boot too, rear light seals probably. Front wings have rough paint and a bit of grot, the rest is in pretty decent condition really.
Anyone fancy it? Not sure if it'd be any good for younger drivers as a first car as it's a relatively large engine?
£300, now £220. Located in Cheshire. PM me for any more info, photos or if you want to take it away
Thanks
Stu
