  • VIC WTB Mk3 Vento/ Golf

    Hi. I've been on the sidelines on here for a year or so now and thought I'd start a post.

    I'm getting out of the aircooled scene and hopefully into the watercooled. I'm not quite ready to purchase a car just now, but will be in a month or so.

    I really like the Vento. So i'm just putting the feelers out to see what is around. Also consider golfs/ polos etc. Plans are pretty basic (lower and wheels atm). Just a quick question too - carsales.com advertises 1996 etc ventos and passats. Are they the same?

    Happy to spend 3k-6k.

    Manual.

    Neat interior and exterior.

    Close to RWC would be good.

    I'm in Melbourne, but am willing to travel for the right car.

    PM me or just reply here.

    Cheers, Rowan

    Hey mate, I have a 1996 Vento thats been lowered on H&R 'ultra ultra' low coilovers that I have just imported from the states. It has some thule roof racks and a 555 Fairing (ultra rare) and some Zender Sport 15" wheels on Michelin pilot sport precidas.

    It is an auto though and the body and interior could do with a bit of touching up but it would be a great base to start with.

    Heres a few photos from the last brisbane euro meet.





    PM me if you are interested and we can work something out on price and transport.

    Cheers

            I recommend that vento, very nice but if you want just a golf 2L I'm willing to sell mine.

                That vento is pretty much exactly what I want. But I can't afford 8k. I emailed the Tasmania vento, just waiting to hear back. I'll let you know what happens

                  Ventos are great...I had a new 1994 one in the US,and a 1996 new one in South Africa.

                  Both were badged as Jettas,but identical,except Ventos were built in Germany,Jettas were built in Mexico and South Africa.

                    hey mate, I am negotiable on price. Just give me a PM, I am sure we can work something out. Even if you want to take it without wheels or roofracks or something.

                        I have a Grey '95 Passat VR6 Manual which I'm toying with upgrading.
                        To answer your original post, the Vento is basically a Golf with a boot (different grill, h'lamps and rear seat to the golf) and only available in Aust. with a 2L engine... most are auto from my knowledge.
                        The Passat is only a little bigger, mostly in length and was available with the VR. It shares many components with the Mk3 Golf / Vento

                        My Passat is lowered on Eibach springs with 6 month old Bilstein sports all round wearing ABT Sportline A23s. Bodywork and interior are very clean. PM me if you're interested!

                          Thanks for the info RedVR6. However I still think I'm after a Vento right now. I'll keep searching. Thanks for the car offers too guys. Keeping them in mind...

                            Well it's taken a little longer to move my beetle, but it's getting closer I think. There's a white vento on ebay right now which I'm interested in. I was just wondering what the biggest issues are with ventos and if they're prone to certain breaks, exy parts etc etc.

                            Cheers
