That seems remarkably cheap for a early 90s classic VAG. Still has MOT until March 2021 too!

I suspect the incorrect listing location, the wrong year in the title and brief description isn't helping its case.

If the boot sticker is to be believed, it has a Cat too. Given the age, its probably chocked full of rare earth and worth a pretty penny! Early enough to have the non-Cat emissions for the MOT too...

Bet that could be bought and the cat scrapped is enough to more than pay for the car.

KE-Jetronic probably, so the later K-Jetronic with a billy basic fuel mixture feedback so to not pump loads of rich fuel into the cat.  There's still lots of mechanical components so it's not as reliable as the K-Jet or an early EFI car, but they're usually fairly solid.

Unfortunately not, didn't refresh fast enough and missed out.

Still will be messaging the seller, in case the highest bidder doesn't follow through.

I'll Chauffeur you across to pick that up, if winner bottles it

Possibly better than it looks, apparently work done...

Was on a week or two ago for £1200, in Thamesmead (as per first pic). If the new owner has actually done that stuff it might be worth the extra £1300... but they could have at least cleaned it and taken some decent photos. Consider me wary.

Does the window sticker on this say 'Pain car sales'?

My sister had one of those.  Drove me from Stuttgart to The black forest, at 50 mph. Hers had 8 seats IIRC bench seat in the front. And 2 rear facing in.the back. 3.2 v6 has 115 BHP IIRC 

Speedo was 85 mph max due to federal regulations.

So approach with caution but it still seems a pretty good price. Good ones are going around the £6k mark at the moment. Pre face-lift too so it has the better interior. The seats aren't real leather but after 55 years that's not a bad thing, they're nice seats. And it has the white dials so another plus. Strange paint effect around the front arches suggests work there so study carefully (the front arches are double skinned so you can't get to the back of them). Would still consider that if I was looking for another one. Especially when things like this are going on:
