They seem to hold their value quite well. I was looking at one a couple of years back and they were about that money.

I went in one. They are nice cars, the Recaro interior is lovely although they suffer from fading in the sunlight. I know they can also suffer from a gearbox problem, i think it may be the syncro on 5th.

Performance wise, it didn't hang around and was pretty quick for what it was and handled well.

I'd take one over a Mk4 Golf GTI anyday. They are slow as fuck. My 1.6 Toyota Corolla is faster.
