Do I buy it???

[Zeon]

OK, I've been offered an H reg MR2 GTI 1.6 with private plates, one owner an ederly gentleman, immaculate condition, been kept in a garage all its life and washed after every drive.

35000, yes 35000 miles on the clock

3 grand...

Yes or no

'bit on the high side, I'd have thought? Would think it would have to be showroom condition for that kind of money?

A very big yes if it is as per the description. A really good MK1 will easily fetch this kind of money. A one owner car thats been garaged all its life will be well worth it.

Do you have any pics and have you seen it?

£3k is a feckin sh1tload to spend on a MK1!!!!

not if its mint though and with mileage that low it sounds as if it is.

Finding a decent MK1 is getting harder these days. Just about any car you buy now needs work to it.

Sounds like its well worth a look to me. There can't be many H reg MK1s about either, so it would be one of the last.

Bet its a Mk2........


Pics please

that's what I initially thought. MK2's were first on G plates.......

[waynestoyotamr2]

Its all about the admin staff at Mr T + DVLA though.

My money is still on it being a Mk2.

If not, I wanna see pics!

[craig]

I wanna see pics!

Me too..........intrigue sets in

[waynestoyotamr2]

Likewise - if he has got 35k, then I am afraid he has beaten my 36007 mileage on mine

Seems a bit pricy like... 1.6 tho... surely you want a 2.0 at least for that money!!?

LOL!

If its a 1.6 its a MK1 if its a 2L then its a MK2 is how i read it.

I too am wondering though for an H plate whether he means MK2.

I agree with you Lauren ,i have never heard of a mk1 H reg.

If it is a mk1 would be worth the money for the rarity!

[Goldy]

sorry but i assumed it was a mk2.... they did make a 1.6 version in the first 2 years, though I don't think they sold many.

H was the 1st year of the mk2 right?

[tonigmr2]

Nope they started as G reg cars.

What size engines were those first 3FSE jobs without the spoilers etc?

Oh and you can have my car for 5K

Goldy, a 1.6 MK2 was never made. They are 2l only, much like all MK1s are a 1.6.

Sorry bout my confusion i've been a retard.. Didn't take into account that the mk1 could be bought as G reg as could the mk2!!

Doh!

The 3SFE is basically a Camry engine but is still 2 litres. I'm not sure of the details as to whether it was a single cam or a twin cam 12v or simply a detuned 16v, but it was defo 2litres, produced 119bhp.
