I'm new to this forum and live in London, I intend on moving to South Africa next year to JNB, I'm hoping to buy a car there but I want to know roughly the prices of it, Do you still get reasonably good mk2 gti's (preferably 16v) for good prices, or would a mk3 gti be better? I'd also be keen on a Polo Playa 1.8 the mk3 6k version... can anybody sum up a few prices for me?

Yeah property is cheaper but I have my own house to go there, I just sold my mk2. So i'll be without a car for 7months or so. I just hope I dont miss my mk2 too much. Mk2's to me are the best, but the mileage on the mk2's in sa are ridiculously high,, engine life on most vw's are about 330000km's before you really need to change the motor. In that time you'll replace two rocker cover gaskets. After 240000km you'll be guzzling oil. Most mk2's there have about 200000km on it already, mine only had about 160000km on it. Still could have served me properly for 6years mayb.
