check for rust, and other bad body parts, carfax, looks really nice, im not a fan of the color, but its my fav gen of gtis, or shit i cant remember if it was a golf or gti. id have a mechanic check it over (ones whos goods with VW's) mainly for the electrical gremlins you hear about.

GTi with hubcaps? Run a carproof to make sure it's a GTi.

sounds like a decent deal.


but if you click on the link it tells you it's a GLS, not a GTi, so I don't know if you priced it out that way.

hey i have the same car, same year, but the vr6.  mine had 97k miles and i got it for 5.6k but that was the wholesale trade-in price.  I would go for it, maybe ask for a slightly lower price....but the hubcaps are really sketch, what recent vw has hubcaps? esp gti's?
