other '73 Golf 2002 Project - Soliciting Thoughts

[Gordon]

2K is not a bad offer, buy looking at pics of the car, seller is dreaming at 5K IMHO but remember, the seller was originally asking 13K for it. When the seller comes back to reality, make them another offer at the same or near the same amount.

 

For those of you who missed it, the seller posted the car on Craigslist in late JAN asking 13K for it which brought about much discussion on this 2002 on the forum.

WTF???!!!

"Hi my brother had 5k in mind sorry :("

 

[Roundeie]

Quick turn of events after I Sent her this:

Remind him all mechanicals required to safely drive the car (wheels and braking system including all lines, master cylinder etc, lights, tires, wheel bearings, steering, suspension bushings, cooling system) will need to be refurbished because it sat for 10 years. Additionally the engine will first need to be drained, refilled and whatever issues are found repaired prior to startup. Not to mention evaluating and repairing or replacing gearbox items and differential. That's part of why I considered it a project car."

Latest response:

"Ok we accept your offer of 2K "

Looks like a good project with potential since it isn't a rust bucket. I would say well bought at $2k

[Roundeie]

Not mine, no affiliation. I've got 2 and I would just like to see anyone else with an interest get the info. Another FAQer tipped me to this one in my area. Went and took a look. Owner purchased as a buy both or go away deal from a divorcee. The other car was not around but owner said it's a '75.

Have more photos if anyone wants them
