Should i buy a mk2??

[jamie88]

HEY everyone,
my daily is an 05 golf tdi with a couple of mods,
however i recently stumbled upon a dub enthusiast selling his wires mk2 gti,
its red, 123000km, its bee owned by one owner all tis life, then this guy bought it for his wife but she doesn't like it so he's selling it. its very clean, stock everything, has rego etc,
he's asking 3000, I'm thinking of offering say 2300 and working up from there?
not sure why i want it, and whether id sell the mk5, pocket the change, and drive the mk2 daily.or just have it as a project. i only drive to uni and to work a couple of days a week, and dads a dub nut as well and i have a family mechanic who charges pennies for work to be done,

so,,
coils, 15 x 8's, zorst, stereo?

opinions?

Straight up...... YES!!!
Sounds like a good car, and very cheap for 123,000k on the clocks

No, you need to let me know the seller and I will take the old ****box off their hands.

Having just bought one myself, It would be a yes from me. I love mine and I've only had it a month!

it has 153km, going to test drive it, get it up on stands, etc, the owner has a set of 15 x 8 with 195 tires on them he said they look awesome. might pin them up too!

There is a massive difference in terms of driveability as a daily. I wouldn't have a mk2 as a daily.

If possible, get both, but $3k is a reasonable price depending on how much needs to be spent to get it up and running.

Wow... That MINT!!!
You can always swap the Gbox and shifter over, can't you??

Nah not as a daily. Mine's been "nothing else to do" for 2 years now.

I wouldn't say they are raw but after a while, using it as a daily, you crack the ****s.

As a project, for sure. Easy to work on and rewarding.
