Would you even consider it? $3000 VR6 Golf

It looks a bit shabby, but some love would definately fix that. It would be a wonderful little project. Mine got a whole new facelift (headlights - MK4 style which this already has, fog lights & new blinkers, new front bar, new plastics, new grille and a bonnet respray is coming up) for less than $500.
I'd adopt it, but i'm not allowed to bring home any more cars

hmm tempting

id honestly love to do that all my self... have something to do. Chances are i'd get impatient, get sick of driving a half done car and rush things, cut corners and just screw the whole thing up Bet it would feel pretty damn sweet to look at a stunning car and know you did it all yourself though

Can I say yeah it is without sounding like a snobby git? hahaha

[Ben J]

not till urs is all done and you put some piccys up

hmm i might actually think about this... the 5500 more id have to spend to get another vr6 could go quite a long way on this

[Stephy]

Dooooo it!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Dooooo it!

'kenoath! Even I'd buy it!

Actually I'd better not say that cos I have enough stashed away...hahahaha

[Stephy]

[Ben J]

Its never Gas with people selling cars. In my experience that means they put gas in and it syill didn`t work.
Big job to change the ac compressor on a VR6, not worth the time with a secondhand unknown compressor, new or reco is the only way and so factor in best part of a grand for the job.
Heater matrix is a dash out job, expect to pay $800 plus due to the labour involved.
The owner obviously knows this and so has priced the car accordingly.

Just looked at the link. This car used to be a NSW car with TIGAR number plates. Was a bit run down then and that was a few years ago. I still reckon its priced fairly. Even good VRs would struggle to get more than about $7k in 5 door form, so this is right pricing for a budget example.
