Good deal? Mk2 Golf

Andybtsn · 1 May 2007 at 16:34

Been offered a Mk2 Golf 16v for £250.

Description and pictures below. Going to have a skeg at weekend.

My golf is a 1989 GTI 16V. 132,000 on the clock. Big bumpers, origonal 16Valloys (Don't look great) I've changed the clutch roughly 1000 miles ago, put a new water pump and oil cooler on it and a brand new MFA/wiper stalk inside. MOT till 05 Sept 07 but no road tax on it. The interior is good, the dash board is imaculate, extremely good condition as they usually have chunck and grooves in them. Usual boulster wear on the drivers seat. The passenger window switch needs replacing (£12ish from GSF) but you could try taking it apart and playing with it. It runs well, never let me down, starts first time from cold. Plenty of tread on the tyres. £250.

I'll tidy it up, lowered around 80mm, 8" wheels

...Best not, I'm past those days.

Problem is insurance, I want to insure the car for about 5k a year, I will only use it to rag around at weekends. I have a daily running car already.
I want my GF on the insurance too, quotes are £460TPFT. I'm 22 with 2 years no claims. Not good enough really.

Yeh £250 sounds good.

Are the pictures taken a Teeside Airport?

Not sure mate, could be. Not 100% where the gadge lives who owns it.

Does anyone cheap insurance companys for say 'weekend cars'?

I really don't want to be paying £500 for a car to be used under 5k mile a year. Its ridiculous.

That's a bargain, ideal weekend toy!

I've had good quotes from Adrian Flux and Greenlight on my Golf as a second car. Try insuring it as a classic.

Once bought I'm going to bring it down to you for an overhaul
