another new member looking at VOLKSWAGEN GOLF CABRIO GL Conv

hello everyone, i am looking at buying my first golf and found a mk1 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF CABRIO GL Convertible with 77,000 miles but as im new to this i dont no anything about them can anyone help?  any info would be good,  thanks

Go to 'search', put in Prowler in the author and look down the list until you see 'Cabriolet Buyers Guide, 2'.

Print off, read, re-read and then see if the car you like meets the criteria in Prowlers guide.

Believe the points that he makes because expensive bills will follow if you ignore them!! the guide is spot on and a very good reference to have with you when looking at a Mk1.

I bought a 'beat up' Cabby 3 years ago and if I'd read the guide I probably wouldn't have had hours of endless 'fun' spending my money!!! The results were worth it though!!!

thankyou took a little while to find it on site but printing off as we speak, should make good reading. anyone else got any info for me. i dont no if i would be beter off trying to find a gti. will i be disappointed if i was to buy a GL model. :dontknow:

Performance wise the GTI is better but insurance is higher

Prowlers guide is excellent.  

Agree with robb. I have GL more of a cruiser than a sprinter. But with no doubt, charm the pants off girls still. A 17 year old blonde said this summer "Its So Cute" i want one" refering to the car and not me..lol  Glad my missus was`nt around at the time..
Any case still a great car and dont get put off by the GL n GTI thing.
