For sure. It is one of the cleanest that I've seen. I would say it's a keeper.

I've found in my many years of buying and selling all of the cars/trucks/toys I've owned that a vehicle is only worth as much as you are willing to sell it for.
I'd say this one is a keeper!

You seem to be really interested in what the value is...I saw your post on the vortex too. As you know the car isn't a special edition. It does have a fairly rare body kit in great condition on it. You could probably get 500 for the kit alone. But this is America so it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. To a hardcore mk2 enthusiast it is priceless. Are you looking to turn it for a large profit or are you a Mk2 enthusiast?

hm... a large profit? no. I bought the car because i thought it was neat. I hadn't seen one quite like it with the body kit and all. I probably wouldn't consider myself a hardcore mk2 enthusiest. I do like the car, and vw's in general, although i typically lean to the aircooled variety. Anyhow, I will be selling my truck,(anybody need a 2000 tundra?) so i was needed something to drive between vehicles, and this came up. it's a nice car with a neat story but i was having trouble finding information on the kamei kit, so I came here! vortex didn't really have much response. Will I be selling the car? probably. I change vehicles like most people change their underwear. Plus, i drive a company truck most of the time, so the golf wouldn't get the road time that it deserves.

Cool. I was just giving you a direct answer because I wasn't sure which way you wanted to go with it...that being said if you sell it post it on the enthusiasts sites and you should get a decent return on your investment. Or keep if for ever
