Hi, a query re the life expectancy of a 1990 Golf mk2, has over 100,000 and was wondering if there is a site or resource that can give guidance on the potential maximum mileage..... or if anyone here has experience of this m/m and can help me out?!
A bit clueless when it comes to cars, like to own them and drive them fast and can change a tire roadside... thats about it!!
Any guidance on this or the car in general would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
Polly

The engines should be good for well over 100k miles if properly maintained, it is the bodywork and chassis you will need to look at more closely.
Thank you ManFromDelmonte for that useful advice... I appreciate it.

And thanks everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge.
