WRONG! Your Golf, which has to be an '85-'88 with that mileage, could go 
a long way. Tons of folks do huge mods to such cars, even to the extent 
of swapping in a VR6 engine or a quattro setup. Those little four-bangers 
can be a load of fun on their own, too. I, myself, have an '84 JettaGLi 
(A1 frame, kind of like a Rabbit GTi with a trunk) and have done quite a 
few things to it, not limited to a 2" lowering via Neuspeed and Boge 
suspension ... meaning that if the body is in decent shape, anything else 
can be replaced or upgraded. You can have a lot of fun with 'em. My old 
Jetta's got 195k miles on it, and still is a blast to ram around in. It's 
like an old MG or a go-kart. So don't give up on the Golf!
