Hows it going people? Hope your all fine!
So let me explain this monstrosity. I wanted some sort of a winterbeater and had some leftover money from the Lexus(dont worry I didnt sell it). So I took a look at various car selling sites, asked around and got my name out there with some help from friends and family. I basically told them to hit me up if they found something I might find to be interesting. I wanted something different from the rwd life and also Euro so with that in mind we started looking at old hatchbacks. Old Fiestas, Clios, Peugeots and those type of cars. Took me a few weeks before I made up what I wanted in my mind. It was between this MK2 golf and a MK2 Fiesta. Infact I even went and took a look at both cars and while I was testdriving the fiesta I quickly realised that it was not for me. In ways it felt way to low budget to me. So the Golf was the clear winner here! It was also down to the overall look of the cars etc....
So, after another testdrive and all the papers were signed I now owned a golf. Not sure if i'll regret this or not since the car is in pretty rough shape. Rust at most common areas, broken heater core, blown struts, leaking sunroof, spongy brake pedal..... this is just some of the faults haha. I will have a full list of the faults so far at the end.But hey I got it for a decent price so Im happy with it. It will make for a fun winter daily! Incase your wondering if this is replacing my Lexus it sort of is. Im not selling the Lexus but I'd rather let an old beaten up golf handle the salty roads than the Lexus. Might take it out here and there but it most likely will stay in the garage with the cuntpact.
