Has there been a better time to buy a MK2?

Has there ever been a better time to get yourself a MK2?
With the 5 in the classifieds on here; choice of 3 or 4 door, 8v or 16v, Aussie car or import.
Then there's the cars on Gumtree, Car Sales & the odd one popping up on ebay.

What is going on? Why is everyone selling up?

Me too. I had a brief flirtation with selling it, but every time i see it in my garage it makes me smile.

i dont get to drive mine every day as the wife uses it. But i love being in it on the weekends. Such a nice shaped car...iconic

There are a few popping up for sale indeed.
Is it just me or are the prices seeming to inflate a little recently?

I love my Mk2 as well, just see if I can get a 'even' better one

I can't believe there are 3 Mk2 3drs for sale atm!! Out of the 19 or so we counted up to be in Australia, unbelieveable! I really want another Mk2 as my next VW, i want to import a Rallye ideally, but i'd love one of those 3 drs for sale atm, just bad timing for me so i can't do anything about it!

i agree, some are pretty pricey! esp for something that is pre 90's

As i said i would love a 16v but i wont pay those sort of prices, but that is just me, i am tight and still think of UK prices too much lol
it is a shame that most 16v's here in Oz are early ones and not later 90/91 big bumper ones. This would be my dream car (an orginal import)...that will be worth paying for.

3 mk2 3doors for sale atm is pretty amazing!
....and depressing for those who wish but lack the cash!
One day I'll get one so I can cruise around with my brother Marty's 3 door and my dads aus-spec 5 door....time to save

They seem to be selling rather quickly aswell (well the ones on carpoint do)

I think you need to make/update your thread over at Aussieveedubbers Walshy.
