  • 1992 Golf GTI 16v - Almost Mint, Almost OEM

    Well, today I went out for coffee with the wife and given that today was somewhat a nice day, out came the 16v. It has been about two weeks since I had last driven it, and of course, it was a joy. Our usual Second Cup was closed so we ended up at a different location. As she went to order coffee, a gentelmen in an SUV with a couple of kids in the back said "Nice Car". Not thinking anything of it as he did not strike me as a Mk2 enthusiast, I replied a modest "thank you, I try and keep it clean". He then continued on about how he had once owned the same car (year and colour). We chatted for a while, and he mentioned that the 16v was the only car he would buy back. So I have come to the conclusion, with the help of Gavin (I believe that was his name), that I will keep the 16v until the right time comes when it truly doesnt make any sense to own. If anyone is serious about buying the car, message me. Maybe by that time, the car no longer fits my life and would be better off in the hands of another caring owner. Until then...

    Regards,

    Khaled

        Derek, thanks for the compliments. I am not too sure what is in store for me. I have always liked the S4, but the V8 mileage is ridiculous. The next vehicle will definately be AWD. Arent R32s awd? My wife will get my jetta to learn on as she still does not have her license, which is the reason why I still have it. As far as the 16v goes, I dont want to sell it but it is such a shame to let the car sit.

          Note: The car was not detailed prior to sale; it always looks like this. When I wash it, it always recieves detailing products and it is waxed (clay bar if needed) at least once a year, usually twice.

          Okay... For those of you know Khaled, you KNOW that him stating how particular he is with his car can be nothing but the LARGEST understatement possible! For those of you who don't, let me tell you, NO JOKE, this crazy bastard takes his car out only on the nicest of days, cleans it head to toe before getting in it, drives around town a bit, usually stops off to visit me at my shop, lets me harass him about how frigging meticulous he is while I lightly touch his white shoes with my dirty work shoes as he has a heart attack and spends the next 10 minutes detailing his shoe again, has coffee and drives home, pulls in his garage (NEVER parked outside), proceeds to vacuum the interior (EACH & EVERY TIME!) before he goes in the house, just to do it all again maybe 2 months later...

          His descriptions of what he thinks are issues are so greatly exaggerated because of his obsessive perfectionism that it is absolutely ridiculous! I kid you not that when people are looking at his car and he starts pointing out what he perceived to be issues, they just look at him (or me) and shrug their shoulders and say things like "I don't see what you are talking about" or "you're on crack", etc...

          Half of my fun is just to make up a non-existent issue like "doesn't the right side fender gap look 1mm more than the left" and watch him spend the next two hours panicking and trying to figure out what went wrong! Then for the next 6 months he send me messages asking if I was just kidding or not... AWESOME TIMES!!! LOL!

          For real though, this is not an inexpensive GTi, but it is worth every penny! I can personally guarantee how insane Khaled is about taking care of his stuff... You will have zero regrets buying anything from this guy!

            Well *******, although I did enjoy reading your description immensely and laughed wholeheartedly, but your description is only 98% accurate. I only spend one hour in panic, not the two hours as you had described. :P

                Thanks Blair. I too hope it finds a great new home. It would kill me to see it deteriorate so that's why I need references prior to purchasing.

                    Although I am sure it is a awesome car you have to look at what you can get for just a couple thousand more. You can spend near $12k on a almost 20 year old car or you can spend $16kish and buy a brand new car with warranty.
                    Either way nice looking car and good luck with the sale.

                      Comparing this car to new 'daily drivers' is a moot point. Your statement, while it may hold some validity, is stating the next owner of this vehicle has intentions to drive this car everyday, rain or shine, i.e., a daily driver. In 5 years time this car will be eligible for collector car status, possibly increasing its value. I suggest that you purchase a $16kish new car and keep it until 2032, making it 20 years old as well, and discover whether or not you will get $12k for it. Clearly, this car is not what you think it is.

                        I forgot to add this:

                        ...I do not want to have this turn into a debate on what the car is worth
                        Please refrain from discussing the price on this thread. If you think the car is over priced, then don't buy it. If you wish to discuss price, please use PM.

                          A car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay...Period! If your not willing to pay the price why bother saying anything at all?

                          Clean car. GLWS! I'm pretty sure I did the OPI on this car a few years back.

                            You did do the inspection. All it needed was a side marker bulb. We were chatting about the 16v pill key; still got it.
