I had an 85 GTI for my first car that I done up, had 320 thousand odd miles when I bought it, sold it with over 360,000 that thing was one of the nicest and best running MKII's i've ever seen. I took care of her. Any questions or specs, please ask 
I was and still am really into them VW's but I love all cars really. I grew up with a 1960 Bugeye Sprite, my dad's, and around vintage sports cars so I love everything! I had an 80 Corolla for a brief time after I sold the GTI, which is the STUPIDEST thing i've done to date
The Corolla was a......rotted mess to be nicely. Spent months looking for my next car. I have read Grassroots Motorsports for over 11 years and have been going to the forum for the past like 4? I think and I met this one guy on there, who's into Celica's and MX6's and MX3's. I'm a Toyota Celica kind of guy myself too so I found a few nice 5th and 6th gen's but the whole time we were talking about car shopping he said to look at a MX3, you'll be surprised. I honestly never really payed to much attention to these, they are REALLY underrated for sure. He said trust me, go for the 1.8, they have really decent power for the K8 and he said they handle like nothing else! He said his GS handles better than his 93 Celica GT. Since this Celica deal didn't go through, looked for MX3's, looked for a clean one that was decently cheap, well, let's just say I got lucky! Found out the guy that owned it was a friend of my good friend from high school lol 123,000 miles, 5 spd, no rust, runs great, had a lot replaced, he bought it from an older lady from Baltimore, all stock, interior is clean!! I LOVE IT!! (I made sure to only put the europlate on something that was worthy (compared to the GTI), well this certainly is. I spent the third day of owning it detailing the living NUTS out of it! haha I made the wheels go from brown (brake dust and dirt) to silver, still is a little caked on, washed the exterior and shined her up a bit, still needs a good cut/buff and polish, made the headlights go from yellow to clear, and cleaned the interior of all the dirt and dust.
Sorry for the long intro, now that class is over and your all bored out of your minds
Nice find on the 3 though.
haha
