VW mk2 Purchase/ Questions

[threlevenguy]

Don't know much about VW's at all. Any thoughts on the reliability or problems of this car? Good deal?

for $6500-8500 you can buy a better car.

It would be a trade for my m50 car

Fuck that.

Without seeing your car I can say you can find better. That one probably has a lot of hidden issues.

A properly sorted mk2 can be very reliable and a great daily.

Don't buy that mk2 for that money. Shell doesn't look clean and it's got tons of different parts butchered together and you'll never be able to fix it properly. Just sell your car and get a nice stockish mk2 for 3~4k

Looks ghetto.

Front end of the car should line up MUCH better than that. That motor in a mint shell would be worth that, but that thing looks to be hiding a lot of issues.

^^^ all of the above. I would stay away from a car like that! Did anyone catch the Gatorade bottle for a catch can? These VW guys always amaze me.

I agree 100%. I'm not saying my vw's are always 100% functional, but it seems like idiots are buying up clean vw's and ruining them at an astonishing rate.

And dat blangin' chromey fire extinguisher, yo!

The very fact that nobody has replied in his thread, but him, is reason enough to stay away.

The gatorade catch can just solidifies it.

This is my car. It would be an even trade or his car +$500

The picture of your car looks fairly clean, i would expect him to owe you a bit more than $500 if you trade. The car looks very shifty though, I can't stress that enough.

Thanks for all the comments fellas. I know zero about vw's. I thought it looked clean and well put together. Shows what I know about them!
