No other info. Found in a Croatian Facebook group.

$2700? Take your $2700 and exchange it for 5400 half dollars. You will be a lot happier

Based on that picture alone: NP. Very NP. Assuming the engine runs, there’s a non-horrible interior, no (or very little) ‘optical tuning’ and it isn’t a rusty mess. Not that they’re rust prone, but it’s 25+ year old.

I had a very original and well maintained 250k km GTI 1.6 from 1988, with some minor (but ripples in the trunk) rear crash damage. Sold it for a multitude of that €2700 last November, to a Frenchman who crossed at least 2 national borders to pick it up without having seen it first. As a basis for a perfect restoration.

Hell, I’d buy it for that price (assuming it’s decent). Where in Croatia is it? I’m not even all that far from the Croatian border now. Do you have a link that’s accessible to someone without a facebook account?

It’s in the city of Samobor, you can find it on Google maps or a GPS. 30 minutes from the capitol of Zagreb.
This is the group , and this is the facebook profile of the guy . The ad also says the price isn’t fixed, there’s some wiggle room. I don’t know if you can access the account without a profile. He also left a phone number, +38591474021

Interesting. Very interesting. The location is, from a Croatian perspective, perfect for me as well. I’m in Munich; 6 hour drive, which is quite a lot but not insanely so.

As I don’t have a FB account; could you send him a message, telling him someone from Munich is interested? I’d like to see more pictures (including interior/front seats and engine), some description of what is right and what needs attention (no car that age is perfect, I’d like to know what it needs though), recent maintenance it has received, kms, year it was built/registered, and if it’s got a valid inspection (=can I safely and legally drive it home?). I’d prefer to receive a message in either English or German (or my native Dutch), as I don’t speak Croatian. I don’t think price will be an issue, assuming the condition is decent enough.

I hope I’m not asking too much of you with this request.

No worries, I’ve sent him a message, I’ll reply here when he answers.

Hey I sent him a few messages and texts, the guy still isn’t answering and the ad is deleted, he must have sold it already or something :/

Too bad. Thanks for trying though!

Hey it’s back on sale but it jumped up to close to 3000 EUR, which is probably something you could get closer to you and in nicer shape.

I guess he figured out what he had lol

At €3000 I’d still be rather interested, depending on condition and originality. For that price it still doesn’t even have to be in an all that perfect condition either.

They’ve become quite hard to find.
