Worth of Old Golf
Any rough guestimates on the price of a 1977 Golf GLS is average condition?
Are they a reliable car? Fuel efficient? I know nothing about old golfs but would love some info. Things to look out for etc.
Cheers
Tnate

I reckon between $1k & $2k for something decent. Certainly you can get them cheaper for wrecking material. I had a few, they go like a rocker,
well not exactly but you know what I mean. Cooling was always a problem though. Most of the ones I owned over heated

efficient too...prices range.....I sell mainly 2 owner cars.. round the 2000-2500 mark.. theres alot ov crap around but u need to check for rust
mainly under the passenger wheel well..floor pass side,,,pillars...bottom rear arrches(back)...tailgate..bottom doors(perished rubbers cause
this)...most cars if good r straight..if dents in the roof?? good chance ben hit up da bum (greek style!!)tthe early cars 76' were built in

im also interested in purchasing and doing up a mk1. :party haha
VolksFolks- are you in victoria or tasmania??? your car looks like a little stunner. how much (roughly) were u after for that one?? just gives me an
idea of what they are worth.. cheers
crazy george- do you know any good sites with general knowledge about mk1's? like common mods and stuff.
if i got one, id like to give it a respray, lower it with some nice rims, and get the old motor running a bit quicker.
