    Looking to sell my MK1 for a down payment on a MK6!

    I'll just get right to the point with all the bad:

    - Car is NOT RUNNING.
    - Cluster does not track mileage (exempt on title anyways, PO stated it should have around 150k on it, I put maybe 1k, but I honestly have no idea.)
    - Rust spots on rear of the car by bumper mounts
    - Passenger side mirror is very floppy (insert joke here)
    - Radio is not present, fan controls don't work as well
    - Rear passenger strut needs replaced
    - Sunroof siliconed shut, DOES NOT LEAK THOUGH
    - Small coolant leak from top rad hose (only when the has been running)

    The good?
    - New tires, ignition control module, spark plug wires, ignition coil, distributor rotor and cap, new waterpump/thermostat
    - Extremely solid body. No rust in the usual spots for this car
    - 99% of the interior is there, and in great shape! (broke off the plastic cover on the passenger window roll up...whoops)
    - Comes with steelies AND original snow flakes

    Over all if you have the time, you can make this a bad ass rabbit.

    Looking for $1,300.

    Any questions, feel free to ask!

    Was not able to get pics today thanks to the wonderful PA weather we're having, will try again shortly.

    I am also taking OBO, but because of finances I can't take to low.

    I'm trying to get into a caddy asap so if anyone can help me out that would be great! haha

    Haha I know I won't get many offers for that trade, but hey, you never know.

    And I can't part it! Way to clean for that! haha I would totally fix it up if I had the time, but with how I am this would be a project that my future kids would work with me on.

    hello! i just joined this site today. i am looking for a rear-rabbit-gti-badge, i have just seen, that you would have one.
    would you probably sell it to me. my son has bought himself an original european VW-Golf Rabbit MK1 from one of the last models produced in 83. but we do not have the original rear-RABBIT-GTI-Badge.
    If you would sell it, would you be please so kind to come back to me?

    Best regards from an austrian guy who is just right now in the states.

    Thank you in advance,

    Gerhard ( at the moment in Hammond / IN )

    Now, for $1,300 you'll get a car free with that badge!
    BUMP! For a good deal on a badge LOL! I like that!
    I have these things called "a job" and "a life", sorry if I don't get back to you in a hurry! Also, if you're one of those people who know more than most of us, please don't contact me...I wouldn't want to waste your time or make you dumber by contact! Thanks! :middlefingersmiley:

    Considering it would need towed, probably not far without charging for gas/rental fees.

    TOWED IT HOME TODAY, I'M DONE.

    Possibly clogged cat. I have no idea, I don't care anymore. Not parting it out, $1,300 whole. Come get it this week. Will not budge on the price.
