I posted this over at the watercooled forum, but I thought I try my luck here too. I'm not quite sure where to put this so feel free to move it necessary.

I was approached by someone last night who needs to get rid of his (presumably) MK1 Diesel 4 door Golf. He's moving house and needs it gone. Asking $500.

I was in a hurry and wasn't thinking straight so I didn't get his details nor did I have a look at it.

I don't really have the need/space/money for it, but it occured to me someone else might so I am thinking of going back and checking it out/getting his details to put on here.

Any thoughts? Any one interested. I'm not familiar with the diesels so any comments welcome.

I may even be tempted myself...

Cheers, Stephen

UPDATE: I spoke to the owner and the details are:

* blown head gasket
* new motor on its way
* $500 as is or $1000 with new motor
* Approx '81 model
* Owner needs it gone so price might be negotiable

I have not seen the car (it's in an outer suburb on the other side of town) so can't vouch for it (or the owner for that matter). I don't know the owner nor do I have an financial interest in the car. I'm just trying to help people out and hoping that it goes to a good home rather than getting squashed.

I have the owner's details so PM me if interested.

MODS: please move this to 'For Sale' section if necessary.

Cheers

Would be German made import I should think...

shame it is in SA...

In light of recent interest, here is a link to the car (2nd one down). http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=346665&hl=golf
Seller's contact details are on the bottom of his post.
No idea if it's sold, I don't know the owner.
