Find of the Day: 1989 Small Bumper Mk2 Golf GTI

We’ve covered a lot of Mk1s on FOTD, but lately the Mk2 hasn’t gotten much love. The Mk1 may be OG, but in many ways the Mk2 made the GTI more usable and this beautiful example of the breed is this week’s Find of the Day.

Found on the forum, this Mk2 is being sold by durty:dub, who says that he wants a new project and so is parting with this one. He says that the car runs smoothly, has new fuel lines, brakes, a TT short throw shift linkage, Raceland Optimo coilovers, and more.

Overall it’s a great looking Mk2, but there are one or two problems lurking beneath. This Golf is from New Jersey, so it has some rust around the rear. It also has a 159,000 miles on it, which is a fair few. That said durty:dub doesn’t think that this is the original engine, so there may be fewer miles on it.

Inside it’s nearly perfect. The seats are tear-free and the dash and binnacle look just about perfect. And it comes with a collection of tapes, too!

This Golf may not be perfect, but it’s a looker and the $3,800 price tag makes it an awfully tempting way to enjoy a GTI that you could still put your mark on or just clean up real nice. Check it out for yourself at forums.vwvortex.com.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
