Description

***11 licensed on UK roads*** of this model - that's rare..... ONLY 1 IN THIS CONDITION... Selling cheap due to circumstances - practically giving this amazing car away... grab yourself a bargin. THIS CAR DRIVES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS - ZIPS THROUGH THE GEARS AND THE NEW EXHAUST REALLY ENHANCES THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE - stainless steel. 1998 VW Golf Mk3 GTI 2.0i - Flash Red - 106k - 3 Owners - FSH (possibly one of the best original gti's on the market) - can't be many left in this condition THIS GOLF REALLY DRIVES LIKE A MODERN CAR WITHOUT THE RETRO CAR HEADACHES.. nippy around town and smooth at 70mph on the motorway. Drives nicer than my Porsche!! A genuinely lovely, original Mk3 GTI that needs a new home. I'm selling my 1998 Volkswagen Golf Mk3 GTI 2.0i as I'm moving house and unfortunately losing my drive and garage. It's a car I've cherished and spent thousands of pounds maintaining and improving, so it's ready for its next owner to simply enjoy. It's an R-reg, one of the later Mk3 GTIs, with just 3 owners from new, 106,000 miles and a Full Service History. Most importantly, it isn't just a car that looks good it drives exceptionally well too. WHY THIS ONE? 1998 R-reg Mk3 GTI 2.0i Flash Red 106,000 miles Only 3 owners from new Full Service History MOT until April 2027 Cambelt replaced New exhaust New discs, pads and tyres Recent fluids and bushes Original factory wheels Original interior Original engine Original Sony stereo/CD changer Air conditioning Central locking Alarm 2 keys CONDITION & DRIVING The engine starts first time, idles cleanly and pulls strongly through every gear. The gearbox is smooth with no slipping or grinding, and the suspension and steering feel tight with no worrying knocks or clunks. I've recently driven it on a 400+ mile round trip to Surrey in 35C heat, and it performed faultlessly throughout. It is equally happy cruising on the motorway or being used around town, and there's plenty of room for five adults and luggage. The Flash Red paintwork, interior and original wheels are all in particularly good condition, and the car gets attention wherever it goes. It has also won numerous car shows, which gives you an idea of how well it presents. 100% ORIGINAL One of the biggest attractions of this GTI is its originality. The paint, factory wheels, interior, stereo, engine and overall specification have been kept remarkably close to how the car left the factory.
