I drove this. Its beautiful to drive. Has more low end power than my mk1 1.8 and has the 6 speed.
If I was looking for one id have it.
Good luck with sale JP.

Wow, another RS - I thought I had the only one over here!

Looks in great shape - I think the engine is the most powerful naturally aspirated non-NC engine they built.

Good luck with the sale!

Price updated.

Opinons folks - is it pitched at the right price? I had it down lower than most other 2.5s I've seen around despite being an RS; or are they all dreamers?? (Don't get me started on some of the fantasy asking prices on Carzone..!!)

Unfortunately time of the year to be selling.
If it was spring or summer and a bit of sun out it would be long gone I'd imagine, but you mightn't want to part with it then.
All you can do it is hold off if possible.

Cheers Andy, yeah there's that alright but I've seen at least 2 MK2 RSs sell recently for around or just less than the €3k mark - that's why I was wondering do people know there's a big difference between the MK2 & 2.5 or do they care even enough to justify the extra few quid..?
