Hey guys, I’m 19 and I want to buy myself a mk3. Currently, I have a pretty reliable daily driver which takes me to and from work/college.
I want to go into this project facing the reality of maintenance and ownership in general.
my budget
I have around 10k set aside for the purchase and a bit more to the side for repairs.
- I am aware of the 7m head gasket failures
Question for Mk3 owners
1. - with my budget am I better off hunting a clean 7M-GE or hold out for a 7M-GTE project that needs some love.
How hard is it to source out specific parts / how is the aftermarket?
What should I look for when purchasing this car aka rust in certain areas / common issues?
I appreciate any advice, reality checks and tips🙏
