value of my car?

[specialkonrd]

I don't plan to buy one until i sell this one, and i dont wanna do taht till summer though so probably not. I really want a black one. And ill probably get one from tdot since cars back east are cheaper, and ill get a TDI if i can since really good on gas.

[Miss T]

okee dokee, but the offer stands.......you can always paint it black and then you have yourself a 95 golf gti :)

[Sh4n3]

painting black over another colour is a nightmare

any imperfectionss or cheap... or missed peace in a door jam etc.. it will really show out

[Miss T]

^^

yeah, you're right.....bad idea, unless you had lots of $$ to get a mint job done!

good luck finding a black one! :)

Ill do up the golf instead. It'll take me a while to find the right car, but it HAS to be black, and all i'll do to body is lower and put mags on it. Everything else i plan to do is engine stuff like injectors and things like that...All really depends on what i find...TDI ill have to pour a grand into it to make it a driveable speed lol. Hopefully ill get a GTI or a 1.8 turbo

golfs of that vintage don't come with the 1.8t or tdi engines, you're choices are the 2l 4cylinder..which is dog slow...like really fuckin slow man i think it has around 110hp. the other option is the 2.8l vr6 which has 170hp and alot of low end torque. vr6 engined golfs are fairly uncommon as buying a GTi does not ensure a VR6 engine, but rather upgradec suspension components and brakes i beleive. a VR6 golf is considerably more expensive then a normal GTi but is worth it in my opinion because of the increase in power, as well as the fact that you recieve all the standard equiptment of a regular GTi, but also have power everything including moonroof, leather seats upgraded stereo etc. Both engines are very strong and will last for ever with minimal maintenance, the mk3 series golfs(92, i think,-99.5) themselves are also very reliable cars whihc rarely have any serious mechannical/electrical breakdowns. The same cannot be said for the newer mkiv golfs.

ill be buying a VR6 GTi myself in a few months, probably a 98-99.

Miss T...how much is your friend selling it for?

If anyone's interested in a red 87 RX-7 Turbo II, new paint job, rebuilt engine, new muffler, blow-off valve, air intake, uhh...and much more that I know nothing about....contact me.

Actually, the vintage i want does have 1.8t's i believe
the one i want is with the newer projector lights and i thought that started in like 95 or 96 since my freind bought a 95 but it had thosel ights
i guess it was some sort of swap
but yeah im lookin at 98/99 like you are actually

if you want the 20v 1.8turbo engines as found in the audi a4 then you're going to have to buy a 2000+ car. there the ones with projector lights, and rounded body. They are not as relaible as the older model golf's. if you're friend ois the same guy with the TDI then his car is not a 95 it is a 00 or newer car.

[specialkonrd]

no, its a 95 dude. Im positive. He paid like 6 or 7 for it only.

[specialkonrd]

my buddy with the passat tdi is really into vdubs and he said that the projector lights started in 98

thats not a 98...thats the MKI4 body style which was introduced in late 99.

im telling you man, post that picture up on the forums at www.vwvortex.com and ask them if that is the mk4 body style or not, they will tell you it is.

[specialkonrd]

Maybe he's in europe and they got projector lights earlier? I doubt the guyw ould think is own car is a 98 instead of a 99...
regardless, ill be looking for a projector light car, of an older one if the projectors are a bolt on.

Well if that's the case, $2!!!!
Bwahahahahaha

[Hot Karl]

sean is right!

1.8t's are only in the current model golfs. which are new ass. vr6's suck. as far as having a fast vw or even decent, get ready to spend spend spend.
