Buying VW golf CL 1997
Discussion
Noob here on the forum,
As I've got no one else to really ask I figured it's best to come to where knowledge lurks about. However I am from the Netherlands but knowledge transcends as we know.
Found an advertisment for a VW golf CL 55Kw 1.6L from 1997. Priced @ €5499 (£4766)
Below are the details of the advertisement translated to English:
AP lowering kit: €1,000
Tinted windows all around: €450
Completely new sound system: €2,500
Brake overhaul: €500
Timing belt: €400
LED lights: €80
Tank tires: €55
And then quite a few small things like replacing covers, adjusting ignition timing, new tires, alignment, replacing the air intake with one from a 2.0 model, and there is probably something else I’ve forgotten.
The low mileage is NAP approved and is due to the fact that I and the previous owner drove it very little. That is also why it is going, because it is actually a shame for it to be sitting idle. It has never let me down; the leaks the car had have also been fixed, and it doesn't use a drop! A real eye-catcher when you drive; almost everyone looks.
End of advertisment.
I know that 2nd hand pricing in the UK is usually cheaper due to RHD not being very enticing for the rest of the world. Do you all think it's worth the trouble getting this vehicle for the price it's listed at?
Please be gentle, its my first time xD
