The capitals make it worth more.

You can't fool around when you're talking this level of luxury. And yes, it's the base model. As a guide, these are some other Mk3s for sale (and a mk2 GTI):

You've made me want an old golf
I'm very tempted by the GTI myself. I think I could just about afford that right now...

so, random thoughts:
my car was broken into yesterday. ridiculously easy to open (convertible top, i could probably open the thing in less than 10sec -.-)...
interesting thing: they only stole my bonnet (which is the floor of the boot, i drive a smart you see...). ONLY that... nothing else. nothing got touched, nothing got damaged. they just opened the thing up, took the sheet of metal covering the engine and left it standing open. when i came back to the car i found it with a handwritten note from the police that they'd found my car open but couldn't see anything wrong. only by checking rather closely i found the damn thing to be missing...
how stupid is that? i mean... you can't possibly damage that part without killing the whole car and you can't really lose it either! why steal it?
plus: whoever did it, knew or probably owned a smart convertible so they knew exactly how to open it...
narf... well, at least nothing damaged and nothing really expensive taken. file the incident with police and have insurance get me a new bonnet... annoying
it has only 124 000km, you won't find many with less that that!
I need help, something is definitely wrong with me. I find myself wanting one of those big new Japanese minivans. I saw one the other day, not sure what make it was, probably the Toyota, maybe the Honda. But anyway, it was solid black and zipping through this parking lot, which was full of potholes, dips, and degrading asphalt. I was impressed how smooth it was driving and absorbing all the bumps. And it just looked sinister in black, like a little mobile command station or something. Normally when I think of a big vehicle like that, I would think of a big American SUV, like a Suburban or an Expedition. But those are big trucks with lots of ground clearance, this thing was low to the ground and cornered pretty flat.
So yeah, something is wrong with me.
I'm pretty sure it was the new Sienna too.Nothin' wrong with some irrational minivan love. Hell, it would be the most impractical vehicle choice for me ever (single, 21, etc.) yet I still think that they are pretty sweet.
I'm trying to think of what model you spotted. It's hard to tell because all 3 of the top import minivans (Odyssey, Sienna and Sedona) handle surprisingly well. I'd wager you probably saw a Sienna SE, as those definitely look and drive sporty.
Full size panel van with "Free Candy" painted on the side?If your going to get a van, get a full sized American van.
Even Honda thinks they are cool.
Why is insurance so expensive? There should really be a cheaper alternative?
Looking a a 93 Rangey Vouge for ?1k, ?4k to insure.
Having grown up in and later driven an '88 G25 Vandura, I agree. There's just something about sitting NEXT TO the engine - using it as a damned drinks tray and map holder - that is just absolutely missing from modern vans. Hell, mine had cupholders on top of the engine sized for coffee mugs. Not the ever-popular spill-proof travel mug that's made to fit into regular cupholders - coffee mugs like you use at home, and as pen holders at the office. Steering where even the slightest movement of the wheel would adjust where you were headed, but I never encountered an obstacle - even curbs - that would feed back through. It just went where you told it to - and ran right the fuck over everything in the way. Speedometer went to 85. It would bury it and do 100+ - the loudest, noisiest 100+ in the fucking world, cleaving through the air like a goddamned thunderclap outside with only the most minimal attention paid to aerodynamics, and with a positively SCREAMING small block V8 cutting into your legroom and making its presence known.I'm kinda offended by the fact that Honda dares compare their mommy-schlepping Odyssey with the beauty and elegance of the 1983 GMC G15 Vandura.
except that our Mk2 GTIs were poo (they had a 90bhp engine in them)
