I never understood that saying "Goes like stink", as a really good stink tends to linger for quite a while!

lol i dont think i've ever heard goes like stink... must not be too popular here in az. im not sure what this one is i but i dont think its a gti. arent to many here in the u.s so ill take what i can get esp. when its only $500 usd.

Rust rust and more rust. Poke around underneath with a screw-driver if necessary. Obviously not a real problem if you can weld. Don't want to pay out £100 on welding up a £300 car though :blink:

Hello Joe

Hello there and a warm welcome to TorqueCars. Try to get one with a good service history. Check for oil leaks, smokey exhaust and as someone has said aready RUST!

hi :]

i was looking at some 205's myself but i decided to stray away when for the same price you can get a newer 106.

although if i had some ncb i do see the attraction to the 205 GTI

i've always been partial to the 205 and 206... i dont know why but its just one of those things... im a fan of hatches i guess. like i said earlier in az esp tucson most things are chevy and ford so to find a 205 for $500 usd i
is nice

Get a good 205 and drop in the Mi16 engine for a great old skool hot hatch.

Maybe but the smell goes everywhere. Fast.
