Today we have a 1990 Volkswagen GTI that's for sale on the East Coast.


This one has a 1.8T swap and runs and drives but was hit in the side. It's got a manual transmission, front intercooler, and some other goodies.

There are 100,000 KM or 62,000 miles on the clock and this one is for sale in Massachusetts for $7,000 or a trade for a Mk4 GTI.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Add Lightness Almost any real name, not one of those alphabet soup names that makes sense to those naming it but nobody else.It would be nice if they used xxxxx series 2 or 3 so it pays tribute to it's heritage.
  • ToolGuy Let me just check here: If I buy this vehicle for $29K I'm an idiot, but if I buy a base CR-V for $31,450 I'm a genius. People are funny.
  • Slavuta 240SX-SE Cross
  • ToolGuy "Biturbo" But this time a Dodge with an inline 6. I crack myself up.
