i just recently bought a MKIII for, 800bux(aus) my 1st car aswell....i luv it
it runs beautiful, and it only has minor key scratches on the side which i can fix easy
mines '89' model, white,and had a engine swap like 50,000km ago
...my friend offered me 2k for it after i took him for a spin but i just laughed at him.
the best 800bux i've ever spent
