Few pics of the new economy ride....

[ACSVT]

Picked this up the other day, actually for the fiancee to drive for now. Its a 98 Golf GTi (VR6). Just has 54k miles on it, its a 2 owner car and its pristine for the year model. Got lucky to find it with such low miles and unabused. It is bone stock. Tint, lower, intake/exhaust....normal stuff. Maybe a turbo down the road....

Here are a few crappy pics...didn't feel like driving out for good lighting just to take pics of a VW. :lol:

It sure is nice having a lower fill up bill. It's even better when the fill up lasts longer.

Nice find.

[02REDSVT]

Awesome!!! those are great cars man... I had a 98 VR6 jetta and it was bulletproof, AND fun as hell to drive... Great find!

Sweet find, I have been thinking of looking at a CBR 600RR for a DD.

You shoulda found an SVT Focus

I know, the VW is fun, but you shoulda found yourself an SVT Focus. I've owned a lot of cars, and the Focus is the second most fun to drive after my '66 GT-350 - very different, but serious fun.

So, all you guys thinking about fun + mileage, I get 30 mpg at 80 mph in my Focus, and I seldom get less than 25 mpg, even when I'm in town and using the gears the way they should be used.

When you hit 3000rpm, this car scoots!

I am sure money played into not looking for a newer car. He is getting married somewhat soon. Thats a great car and even better for the price he paid

 

[ACSVT]

Yeah, the price was right thats for sure. Lets just say it was below $6k. Awesome find, and the seller wanted it gone so he could move on and buy a new car (new Audi RS4).

I'd rather have this thing over an SVT Focus. Much more potential in my opinion, and I have always wanted one since driving my cousins 350horse mk2 GTi turbo a few years ago.

Now instead of driving my Lightning everywhere at night time, we can hop in the VW and do what we need to. She currently has a 98 Mazda B2500 (ranger) and my lanky ass can't fit in it too comfortably.

I just looked at a red 98 vr6 with 53k on it today and I am going to test drive it tomorrow.
