Iv'e been keeping an eye out for a caddy as i race motocross and would froth to have a caddy as my tranny

I know theres one on here for 11k but unfortunately thats way out of my price range, not thats its not worth it, its pretty sick!

As I'm sure you know, but there's probably less than 15 in Australia. Those in good condition worth quite a bit more than $12K, those in iffy condition probably a bit less.

I currently have a 1988 MK1 Caddy undergoing a full restoration in South Africa prior to shipping it over as a personal import. Given its expected as new condition when it arrives, I wouldn't dream of parting from it for less than $25K ...... not that it is for sale, just saying, that the market for Mk1 Caddy's really is a sellers market ......

Yeh the only reason really for this post is i remember a black one at DOVW in 2013… and can't remember if it was for sale or not :/

MK1 Caddys were built in South Africa from about 1984 to 2007 I think. Anything pre 1989 can be brought in as a personal import and my local compliance company said not really anything needed to get a compliance plate other than general road worthiness ......

A 1984-88 Caddy that spent its life in-country in South Africa can be mostly rust free and if reasonably cared for previously could be in reasonably condition. Shipping and compliance is about $3K, Caddy itself in stock condition about $5K, so if you really wanted 1, you could bring your own in for under $10K .......

Some examples:

1988 Volkswagen Caddy 1.8 | Goodwood | Gumtree South Africa | 112421550
