This 1996 Volkswagen Golf Estate is a three-owner Mk3 example finished in Grey over a matching Grey interior, showing just 71,259 miles and powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. With its practical wagon body style and analog driving feel, this Golf represents a rare survivor of a simpler era in VW’s lineup—especially in estate form.

Mechanically, the car is said to run and drive well, benefiting recently from a new carburetor gasket to ensure smooth fueling. The suspension setup includes cut rear springs and coilovers up front, giving it a more aggressive stance while maintaining everyday drivability. Please note that the car will be sold on standard alloy wheels, not those currently shown in the photos.

Inside, the Golf’s cabin is in very clean and tidy condition, especially for its age. The only noted flaw is a sagging headliner, a common trait among Mk3s. You'll find manual crank windows, a hallmark of the more utilitarian spec, and all basic controls are said to function properly.

On the outside, the Grey paintwork shows some cosmetic imperfections, primarily on the passenger side with small dings and dents, but importantly, no visible rust holes. This Golf Estate has been preserved in solid structural condition, making it a strong base for continued use or further restoration.
