Hey MK3 people I'm crossing over from the MK4 forum for your expert advice.
My sister is looking to buy a car. We found a 1995 MK3 white Golf automatic with 90,000 miles. Sold by the original owner for $5,200. Car is in perfect condition, very well kept, with no rust or body damage.
I'm assuming this car would have the 2.0L engine, since I believe only the GTI comes with the VR6. How would it compare to a 2.0L in the MK4? I drove one and thought it was very slow, however reliable, which is what counts for my sister.
I checked Edmunds to compare fair market price and 5,200 seems a bit high. Is this a fair price? I haven't seen the car yet, I will after work today. Is there anything I should look for when evaluating the vehiele besides the obvious?
Thanks for your help..

115 HP, and 5200 is a good price. at least it was a year ago when no 95s were under 7k, but no ones buying anything because of 9-11-01

I'm in NY, and if it's a VR6 then it's a 5spd, and my sister can't drive 5spd, she can barely drive auto.

hahah alright, well just shooting the offer out.. im not really out to sell it but i would. My previous cars have been RWD nissan's... and i've been looking for an excuse to buy a 240 and try creating an sr20DET beast. but i may end up keeping the GTI and toying with it some. hehe
