MkIV Golf V6 4Motion

[Treza360]

Spotted this car out at Manly today, didn't take any pics but found it on carsales with the massive for sale advertising it had plastered on it. Interesting looking car with the modifications it's got (read wheels and bodykit). Pretty rare over here but wants close to R32 money.

Stupid question maybe. But what are the handles/things in the side of the seat?

They're the seat flippers dude, push them up to get into the back seats!

Damnit Mickey we could have had so much fun with that. Things like all three door Golf seats' have ears or the ejector seat pull cord. :D

Random question: Would those recaros be a direct swap on a bora 4motion?

I would say yes. The Konigs in my car fit straight into the MkIV series of cars.

yes if you can afford them :P and you'll have a useless (for 4-door) flip down feature! :D

Ha! that could be an intersting point of difference, lol :banana:

What sort of cash are we talking?

3k?

I've seen this car up close and WOW.. If I hadn't bought my Jetta and knew about this, it would be mine. You can't grasp the condition it's in until you've seen it.

The owner imported it from the UK and I think it's the only one in Australia.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Flips the seat forward, rear passengers, 2 doors.

EDIT: Dam Mickey, beat me to it.


That's been on carsales for a long time now, I wonder what sort of money would actually shift it, it is cool after all.

Yeah I'd love to own one!

Hehehe..my baaaad. :nana:

[evorobin]

Got to feel for the guy he was asking 35 to begin with and would have shifted it everyday at 25. Now he wants 25 you can pick up an R32 for that. I think you'd struggle to get over 20 for one of these.

yeah if not even more than that and thats if you'll find one...easiest thing is to find a wrecked early mk4 gti, rip out cloth recaro interior and retrim in in leather or buy JVLR32's interior :)
