Last (recorded) keeper change was in 2002 and the guy before that had it 14 months which sounds good. However I'd be very surprised if someone who had owned their car for the last 6 years would sell it in that manner. Did you ever see the address where the car was registered?
My money's on it being bought by someone, driven with no licence/insurance without registering it in their ownership and then selling it on. It comes up as unininsured on the MID too which backs up that story.
I guess that would explain the cheap price and dodgey dealings!! However it also explains that the car has probably had the b0ll0x ragged out of it for the last 6 years!!

HPI isn't all it's cracked up to be and that selling scenario sounds dodgier than a box of three-legged Frech frogs that happen to have rabies.
My favourite car of all time! I love the way they look, I love the way they drive, I pretty much love everything about these cars.
Here is a pic of mine [which is currently for sale by the way - I've stepped up to an Integra Type-R now]...it's only got 77k miles on the clock! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/688440.htm

Turn it into a track car, I say turn it to a track car!
If it's the real deal that's a bargain. I used to have one on the road, and then tripped it, added a cage, upped the brakes and suspension (just a little) and it was great fun. A bit of a cliche^, but it really did embarass some decent cars. I did push it quite hard though, and nothing broke, a real testiment to the build quality.
Not shy of cocking an inside real wheel either:

Its not a big bumper golf. It HAS big bumpers, but were fitted later on in the cars life, sorry lads!
I didn't know that, I thought all 16v could be spec'd with big bumpers? Either way it's stanadard VW parts. An E36 325 coupe fitted with the standard M-tech bumpers will fetch more than the standard bumper model whether it came like that from the factory or retro-fitted. Well I wouldn't be fussed anyway as long as the finish was good.A black, Mk2 GTI, 3 door has got to be worth £1k all day long. If this car were not flashed infront of our eyes as costing £250 it could have been cleaned up and put up for sale for £1500 with a different exhaust and some 15" BBS wheels.
