ISO Golf Automatic

[EK_Oakland]

Price: $100

Location: Lake Tahoe

Description:

After looking at a few automatics, and priced out a complete paint job, I have realized its probably more practical for me to be ‘patient’ and buy one already in that Golf which I have loved for years.

 

Am I being super unrealistic that I can find a reasonably priced golf automatic?  I was hoping to keep to a $20K budget, but perhaps I was crazy there... too? 

 

I dont care about interior or resale value, I just wanted it to drive to the beach and around town and keep in the family.

 

Ive been looking casually for over a year, and now ramping up my search such that I will likely jump on a plane for one if its Golf + automatic, and close to my budget... thank you all!

You should also consider finding a Golf 4 speed and converting it to an automatic.  So many automatics have been converted to 4 and 5 speeds, so lots of spare auto transmissions and pedal boxes are sitting on people's garage floors gathering dust.

What an interesting idea, I never see folks talk about that (just the other direction).  Thanks!

Hi Robert, if you are referring to CA smog, apparently in my county I an exempt!  Learned that tidbit from this forum.

Interesting.  Well...if you're looking in a few months, mine will be ready to sell (if I decide to; still not sure).

 

Sort of Colorado-ish.

 

Going to get the front floor pans replaced and un-needed holes filled up (side markers, knee trim, bumper bracket holes).  Then paint.

 

Sunroof AT/AC car.  Will have Recaros, crack-free dash, new Volvo calipers, all new suspension, IE coilovers, Konis, ST sway bars, etc.
