Low Mileage 1983 VW GTI on Craigslist

The original hot hatch is still one of the cleanest and most fun, routinely ranking well on “Best Drivers’ Cars” lists.  Ever since my hand-me-down 1981 VW Caddy I’ve wanted a GTI.  With lines as tight as its handling, A1 GTIs turn my head more than most modern sports cars.  Simple, useful, and fun, it just doesn’t get much better.  This example has a mere 95k miles on it with a freshly rebuilt gearbox.

1983 VW GTI for sale on Craiglist SF

It shows it’s age in some spots, but the interior looks very clean (great Recaros!), as does the engine.  Though less-than-safe, GTIs look awesome without the bumpers.  95k well-documented miles means there’s plenty of fun left, and $3200 is a fine price for this condition.  It’d be mine if I had the means/space.

    Even though this car isn’t original I think the price is pretty good — and I’ll bet folks on the east coast who haven’t seen a decent MK1 in 10 years find it a bargain LOL!

    Nice spot Nate,
