I want to get a Mk2 Golf diesel for the work run every day. I am hoping to spend less than a grand on something running thats not falling apart. Anyone know of anything, preferably in/around Leinster?

No, it has to be diesel, not only for the cheap tax but for the fuel economy and reliability as well. It will be my daily. I am not too worried about what it looks like so long as it's not an absolute heap, so a 1985 model would be wasted on me. Otherwise I'd be looking for a Mk1 GTI.
Are you hoping to have it registered commercial, 'cos diesels are the same to tax as petrol cars................?
I was suggesting 1985 for the cheap rolling 30 year tax. The early features are just a bonus.
You didn't say whether you'd consider a Jetta or not. Or a diesel B2 Passat for that matter. Or a diesel Lada for that matter...

I have my heart set on a Mk2 golf to be honest. Apart from anything else I like the shape. My first car was a Mk2. What I meant about the tax thing too is that later golfs were all 1.9, whereas the Mk2 was a 1.6. If I could get a 1985 diesel golf I would go for it if it was in reasonable nick. I might at a push consider a Jetta. What's it like?
probably a bit out of the "cheap" bracket though

affordable B3 Passat. 1.6TD engine same as the mk2 Golf GTD. Oceans of boot space. I have a boot lid you can have, the rear screen is broken on that one...

Ah no I knew what they looked like. I thought you might have had one for sale. That's what I was asking about.
What you spend in tax you'll save on the diesel, 1.6 very sluggish...plus you'll still have an nct every year!
Shit a neighour gave away a perfect seat toledo with a 1.9tdi only last week.
(Well it would of needed new springs for NCT someone chopped them)
