You've got £5k to spend...........
« on: August 29, 2013, 10:39:24 am »
..........well not you but maybe me!

Looking for suggestions for a weekend/summer car for around that budget, might only come out for 6mths a year, needs to be a 4 seater or hatch because of the young un and preferably something sporty or maybe a soft top.

Would have loved another S2 RS Turbo but prices seem to have gone a bit daft for decent examples so now maybe looking down the A4 Cab, Mk1 Golf cab or Mk2 16v Gti as nice examples falling into price range but wondered what other things people could throw into the mix.

For £5k you could buy a decent MK Indy. Unfortunately lacking in number of seats, but for a fun/weekend blaster........

If it was me, I would consider something like this:

Oak Green, MK2 Golf GTI 16V:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-H-Volkswagen-Golf-Gti-MK2-16v-Oak-Green-3-door-/171068818387?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d47f03d3#ht_1353wt_1170

Yeah seen two virtually exactly the same, that one and another that's £5k, always loved that colour.
