I guess it also depends on what your level of mechanics is. I bought a 95 2.0GL few months ago and paid $1300. All the electric window regs needed attention, which ended up costing me $200 in parts. All 4 now work perfectly. The central locks didn't work either, but all that turned out to be was a pipe had come of the actuator.

The heater core was leaking pretty badly, but again, I sourced a new one from the UK for around $100. It took a couple of days to fit tho, but I saved over a grand in garage fees. It also need a new centre muffler, which was done for $300 and a new rocker gasket ($50).

All up, the car has cost less than $2000.

So, a MK3 can be bought for that sort of money, and if you have the skills and time to do the work yourself, then you can grab a bargin.

- Heater core
- Power windows
- AC
- Engine mounts
- Needs a new clutch wa sthat at least $1500.

So is this what needs to be done to the GL in the ad?

mate no one can tell you without looking at the car in question ( beside the replacement of clutch as stated in the ad ) . what Water Boy stated are common things that play up in all mk3's , best bet is to do a bit of research and gain some knowledge on mk3's or have a VAG mechanic give it a once over before you part with some $

good luck
