Description
This 1986 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a Canadian-spec example finished in Mars Red over gray cloth and is powered by a 1.8L 8-valve inline-four engine paired with a close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle. This first-year Mk2 GTI is equipped with notable features, including a rear spoiler, a sunroof, and four-wheel disc brakes. The vehicle is currently offered with service records from the current ownership, factory literature, spare parts, a recent Carfax report, and a clean British Columbia registration in the seller’s name.
They describe the car as free of accidents based on their observations, though they note it has undergone two repaints over the years. The car is currently registered in British Columbia and comes with a Carfax report and all available service history shown within it. The seller does not have any spare parts included with the sale.
For US bidders:
This GTI is directly importable without modification as it is EPA & DOT exempt being greater than 25 years old. For more information on transport/import please visit our Transport/Import page here.
The body is finished in Mars Red and is accented by a black front grille, quad headlamps, and red-accented bumpers. Additional exterior features include a rear hatch spoiler and a rear window wiper. The seller notes that the car has several dings, dents, and corrosion spots, with the most significant areas being the hood, roof, and rust around the left door handle, right quarter panel gas door, right front door, and surface rust on the luggage lid. The car has been repainted approximately twice, though the paint quality is described subpar. Close-up photos of the paint and trim can be viewed in the gallery. The 14” silver-finished basket weave wheels are mounted with Michelin tires measuring 175/65/R14 on all four corners.
Inside, the cabin is upholstered in gray and black, featuring two-tone door panels and bolstered front seats with striped inserts. Amenities include a sunroof, a cabin heater, manual windows, and a Pioneer head unit. The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 260-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and a digital clock, along with gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level.
The six-digit odometer displays 307k kilometers (~190k miles), with the seller adding approximately 100 kilometers during their brief ownership. It should be noted that while the RPM and speedometer are functional, the odometer has stopped working, making the exact mileage unknown.
The 1.8L eight-valve inline-four engine features Bosch fuel injection and was factory-rated at 100 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle. The seller mentions that the car has a fairly new exhaust system, new rear pads and rotors, and decent tires all around. The engine runs well and pulls strong, but it does burn oil, indicating that some mechanical attention may be needed. The car is described as a project with a lot of potential, though it can be driven and used as-is if desired.
