by Tim Healey

Published: August 30th, 2024

Today we have a 1990 Volkswagen GTI that's for sale on the East Coast.

This one has a 1.8T swap and runs and drives but was hit in the side. It's got a manual transmission, front intercooler, and some other goodies.

There are 100,000 KM or 62,000 miles on the clock and this one is for sale in Massachusetts for $7,000 or a trade for a Mk4 GTI.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

More Teutonic rubbish...Timothy puts minimal effort into finding interesting vehicles.

I'm always amazed at the number of people willing to own a German car out of warranty.

Nrd515 As clueless as the car companies seem to be at this point in time, even they know people hate even the idea of subscription service. It's a total, "Nope, not even going to consider this car, you can bite me!" thing with me, and apparently a lot of other people.
Calrson Fan I owned a 93 compact Toytota. Bought new after looking at used as the resale value was so stupid high on Toy trucks at the time that new was the only way to go. V6, extended cab & 4WD were the only way to option these small trucks so they had some capability/utility. One optioned like this Mazda is pretty useless.
Picard234 I'm not sure I'm going to rush in to trade my Soul for this. Interior does look pretty nice.
VoGhost Hmmm, Stellantis is failing and Stellantis has essentially no EVs to sell. Coincidence? I think not.
Qwerty shrdlu While I've seen BMWs with what looks like disruptive camoflauge driving around Charleston SC, it seems less like a secret and more "Hey look at me!" Likewise, a lot of spy shots are made by photographers who somehow knew exactly when and where to set up to take the shot.
