Hi,
I've been lurking around here for a couple years on-and-off but never really had much to add. I recently wrecked my 1994 Ford Probe GT (yeah I know but that's another story) and I am in the market for a different car. I am considering a 1998 VW GTI with 45,000 miles for $9500. This is not the VR6 model but I'm not concerned with speed really. What do you all think of the price? I couldn't find a "newbie" guide around here but what are somethings that I should look for when considering this car? Problem areas? Is this a fun car to own or is it a Ford Probe like maintenance nightmare?
Basically, I just want some opinions from people who own these cars to let me know if I should do it or if I should hold off for something different.
Thanks,
Seth
