Morning all,
It's been a while since I've been on. I've tried to avoid the forum to be honest as I sold my 16v a couple of years ago (for the measely sum of £1800 would you believe and it was a struggle to sell it!).
How do you lot cope with not having one?! The price of another is too much for me now, at least for the next few years anyway.
I would love another one, no doubt about that but the thought of what that car *could* be worth now, is horrible. But I think if I could go back, I wouldn't of sold it.
Anyway, bit of nostalgia over, just wondered what's everyone's coping mechanisms on the loss of a loved one lol
Cheers,
Adam.
Probably not the best person about coping with Mk2 loss.
Since 98 I've owned 11 and currently have 2!
Kept selling them, thinking 'I'll move on to a different car' and then buy another one within 3 weeks!!
Yeah, I know how that feels. I've been fortunate enough to own 3 in the last 8-9 years or so.
I got spoilt with mod cons and air con and the like, so I "upgraded" to a MK5 Variant, for tip runs and family things, which ain't been bad at all if I'm honest.
But getting in a MK2 of a morning and waking your neighbours up and smiling all the way to work, is just fantastic. Biggest regret if my life selling that car.
Buy another one. I upgraded to a MK3 Golf. We did end up with another Mk2 With a broken engine and gearbox which we're slowly fixing. It's a 1.3 so cheap car tax as well so it's justifiable. Go on do it.
This is why I don't sell them. I would regret it too much. I know i could sell all of them and probably get a Porsche or something but I love old VWs for the simplicity and they were reasonable to pick up price wise so it meant running multiple versions was doable.
