I guess he really wanted one badly.The mk2 16v GTI is cool for sure and in some circles is considered the best GTI. The guy that won the auction has also bid on and won 2 other mk2 GTIs.
My sister had an 89 Talon. Unfortunately not a tsi. I remember spending like 30 min in a Stealth & 3000GT (shopped for Eclipse & Talon) in the showroom until they kicked me out of it.Already at $24k:
