1990 GTi

[Rasko Da Gama]

Finali the day came for me...

Today I am picking up that GTi 16V DOHC... AWD, AWS, 150HP, AC...
I think it's the happyest day of my life... It is 1990, it has 203.000 kilometers, but it is in unbelivable good condition. I am picking it up from 50 years old man, who really treated with it very well. He changed all 4 discs last year, the engine starts smoothly, ABS and AC is working fine, it has a few scratches outside, but I'll fix that. The main thing is that the "heart" - engine is in perfect condition for its age.

I'll post some pictures soon...

Congratulations/

I purchased my VR-4 1991 on December 31 th 2002 with 107000 km in very good condition for 2200 $.

This is a fantastic car/ but i think it eats too much (18l per 100 km)

(now i am sellilg my old red Galant 1989 (1800cc) petrol / LPG ).

Sorry for my poor english/

That GTi I told you I've found for me - it wasn't so good actually. So I've changed my mind and I am stayng faithful to my good old 2.0L SOHC AWD...

It would be very hard to let it go - my baby :cry:

i thought you already picked it up?

what was wrong with it?

[Rasko Da Gama]

1.) It had already 203.000km (that's around 130.000 miles) on it :shock:
My car now has 129.000km (thats around 80.000 miles) on it

2.) It had busted original exhaust (needed a change)
On my car I instaled brand new exhaust (oval shape, middle loud -
angry) last summer (as you saw on my pictures)...

3.) It had multiple scratches and rust spots on doors, both bumpers, hood,
and one big rusty spot next to left taillight... :cry:
On my car I don't have any scratches , there were two very little rusty
spots, but I fixed that three months ago...

4.) It had busted acumulator (batteryes), so we had to start it up with
cables. :evil:
I changed my batteryes one year ago, I also fixed my alternator a
month ago... :idea:

5.) Front right power window didn't work... :x
In my car - all four of them are working as new...

6.) The insurance fee for 150HP (DOHC) car costs about 65% more than
110HP (SOHC) here in Slovenia. :?
Hmmm...

7.) But it steel had 150HP, air conditioning and All Wheel Steering...
My car has 110HP, no AC , no AWS , but I have AWD

8.).....

So, these are the reasons why I changed my mind and I think I made a smart move, rather than I'd make a mistake. That car needed some serious work which would probably cost as much as I'd have to pay for the car. By the way, the car had a price of "430.000 Slovenian Tolars" (that's about 2000$)...

So... I'm staying with my baby... It would be hard to let her go...

yeah, u made a smart move man. you'll never enjoy the car, since ur first impression of it is just fixing it all the time. and when u finish fixing it, you wont enjoy it as much since all u remember is working on it.
