Mk2 Golf Convertible WANTED

[gordymatt]

Hey,

Looking for a clean Mk I Golf Convertible, Ideally 1990 - 1993 with electric hood. White with black roof preferred but any colour considered.

Prepared to do small amount of work if required.

Anyone know where I could get one???

I appreciate your help!

Matt

good luck, VW never made a mk2 convert....

I think you are after a mk1 convertible like below?

[EndlessMKI]

I'm pretty sure their still called MKI's.............search car sales.

[Brisben]

It is in fact still a MK1 body style and is a MK1.

I have seen a couple of real cheap ones on e-bay in the last couple of days.

Look around for a good one, low K's etc.

I think I saw one with 48k on it in met grey...sweet !

I always wanted the Rivage model, but don't get them here...

[gordymatt]

Thanks for that....do you know where you saw it? I saw one with low km's on ebay but pics do not look great.

Do you have many problems here in Aus with people 'clocking' mileage on older vehicles?

It can happen, Just noticed I live near you ! HA.

Look to be safe look for digits slightly out of alignment on the mileage counter, also check service history etc, however if you go for one with low K's they should be able to prove its history.

I did see it on Ebay with 48k, There is also a few in QLD for purchase, if you need help looking at a few give me a shout.

Here are a few but not in QLD

[gordymatt]

Thanks Brisben,

I will need help finding a decent one I think! Appreciate your assistance and if you see any I would appreciate your help for sure.

I nearly drove to NSW to look at one but had lots of rust in bonnet, around the windscreen and would have cost too much to pass RWC etc. Still, it sold so guess they were happy to do the work.

Where in Bris are you based?

[Brisben]

Birkdale border, about 7 k from Manly !

Where you from originally >?

[gordymatt]

Thanks for posting the links.....I have looked at all of these. Which do you prefer? Some I believe are over priced or too far away.

What sort of money will it cost to ship from NSW or VIC to Brisbane and what paperwork needs to be done? Apologies for being stupid re: paper work but never done it before? Who is a good shipping company? Thanks for all our help!

Wow, Birkdale...just down the road. From UK originally. Had a wicked 1993 Mk I golf 'clipper' convertible there....white with unmarked black roof and full black leather Interior, not a mark on it anywhere! If only I ould find the same here!

Shipping costs I cannot help, someone can on herefor sure.

Needs to be registered in the QLD state.

Depends on what your looking for , quality or cost ? Always a compromise on this.

I reckon 5k would get a real nice one 3k a crappy one.
\
Depends what you want to spend..

[gordymatt]

I would consider spending up to 5k for a really good one, but where are they?

Are most standard with air con? I think this would be essential. Is your car the one in the picture? I have seen similar driving around Wynnum I'm sure.

No most don't have aircon!, thats fine trust me.

Also yes that is me you have seen , Wynnum is a local haunt for me.

Trying to find them is hard, they are quite rare these days mate.

Look and you will find, just be patient and kep hunting !

[Stiggy_21]
