Nice and clean, that washer bottle is HUGE

He must be like mr bean and use that to rinse his mouth after hes brushed his teeth!

Mine was cheap but a few things werent working so all up ive prob spent close to the average selling price of a GL. That said, this one is a bargain!

This one needs tyres asap, they were the noisest ever! Front pads, rocker cover gasket and the thermostat must be wide open I reckon. Wasnt getting up to temp, or anywhere near it!
Still, it was ultra clean inside.
Cheers, Andrew

$4k is good buying for that car, look how shiny it is.
They go for $6-$7k in Sydney

G'day new to site, hioping to trade along to a Golf mk3...what shoudl I be looking for regarding common problems etc.
most i see are between $6 - 11 K around Brisbane considering about $8000+ for my hopeful purchase sometime soon... Anyone know of a known good condition/logbook certified Mk3 about Brissie?

Gidday Simon78,
8k for a mk3? I would be looking along the lines of a vr6. you should get a pretty awesome early model for that much...
things to look out for would most definately be the power window regulators and the clutch if it is past or close to 200,000kms. Also the aircon. make sure it works - especially in brisvegas. It can be expensive to fix ($1200+)

Back on topic, don't be too fooled by that shiny pic fellas... he has just sprayed it with water (look at the drips underneath and around it on the ground - oldest trick in the online selling book)

In saying that though, I would most definitely be buying it because of the 7L washer bottle [/sarcasm] lol

You've really got to weigh up the positives/negatives when buying a golf. If it is going for $4k then I'd recommend getting an RTA/state roads inspection done on it.
Tell the technician the regular problems that golfs have and get him to do a thorough check over it. should set you back about $200 but it means that you will know exactly what needs to be done after you buy it. You can also use whatever the mechanic finds as a bargaining tool to bring the price down even further (I saved myself $800 on mine this way).

That seller is either really desperate, really honest (i.e. it may have lots of problems) or really stupid

Hey Simon welcome to the forum.. If are looking around for a GL around 8000+ and in immaculate condition, one of our fellow dubber by the name of rayray086 is selling his, perhaps private message him.
