Scirocco Register

Hi all, not yet an owner but looking to get my first mk2 scirocco.
I've been looking at the gt2, is this a good starting point or can anybody suggest anything different, sorry for the possibly stupid question but I'm new to the older vw scene.
Is there any areas I need to look out for when buying

Thanks guys

John

Hi, and welcome. Well done for considering a Scirocco.

There's not much difference between any of the mk2s in terms of trim. The best advice is probably to buy the best you can find in your budget, bodywork being the priority. The other bits are generally easier to fix and all common to the Mk1 Golf.

The GTII is a sensible model to consider as they're the newest you'll find and often got loaded with extras like central locking and electric windows by dealers who were keen to shift their remaining stock. They have the 1.8 carb engine which is probably the next best after the fuel-injected engines found in later Scalas, all GTXs, all Storms and all GTIs.

The earlier mk2 without a body kit is less common but not necessarily any more valuable. Really, condition is the deciding factor with all mk2s, with probably a small premium for fuel injection and another small premium for Storms. I wouldn't buy an earlier mk2 and add a kit as there are plenty of later cars out there already.

If you search online for "Dr Dub Scirocco" you'll find the most comprehensive guide to all the different versions of mk1 and mk2 Sciroccos.

Thank you for the reply, a lot of useful information to go off there so now I can start my hunt

A bit more info and what to look out for.
