Buying a 4-Motion Bora .. Sport vs normal ..

[Golf-Sam]

I recommend Paul at Euroworks 95603326, his pretty fussy and I recommend anyone buy a car to get him to go over it...he spends a great deal of time inspecting every aspect of the car

cheers for that will definitely hit him up for an inspection .. last golf i bought needed so much to get registered .. don't wanna do that again ..

Same here, while mine isnt the most original in the world it does everything I need and gives me something to play with, and at $8k it is straight and clean with potential to turn into a nice sleeper or something that screams to the police "follow me"
I prefer something in between, a nice clean exterior with a bit of poke added underneath the skin to keep the Holden Ute boys around here honest
Dub Toffee sold me a nice base to start from

that is exactly what I'm going for .. not too low .. nice wheel .. decent coilovers .. exhaust , intake .. then finally HGP turbo kit in a year or two ..

Mine's going to be on the market soon.

2001
~130,000 km
Blue Haldex
Milltek Catback Exhaust
Custom Code
Hayman Reese Towbar
Eclipse headunit, (blue tooth hands free, ipod etc)

It's black with black interior

Looking for $12,000 (will include the biggest air horn ever fitted to a Bora.)

If you end up parting out the blue haldex let me know. Id be interested it.

My Oettinger rims are from that red Bora. I bought them off the guy 9 or 10 months ago and his car had been for sale for a few months at least already at that point.

It is a super clean car, really so much better than it looks in the photos. If I remember correctly he told me he had big plans for it including a Bora R front bumper (the rear bumper is a Bora R rep) and all sorts of mods but then he got a motorbike of some sort and got a bit diverted from the Bora. His opinion is that he has one of the nicest Boras around and he isn't planning to take any less than $13,500 for it so it sits undriven until he sells it.

It's a really nice Bora but I think he'll be waiting another 10 years for 4motion Boras to be recognised as a modern classic before he gets more than $11,000 for it.

Hi Golf-Sam,

Did you end up looking at that silver Bora in Victoria?

Thinking of heading over there myself.

no man , few days into it .. i found one in Canberra (Home) so went and had a look .. was super clean .. engine/drivetrain in good condition .. so i took it ..

silver one does seem very tidy.
