hello
i recently acquired a white 5 door mk2 syncro. its a uk car and is in reasonably good condition ~~(wont take much to get it top notch)
its taxed and tested.
i am new to these cars and havent got a clue as what to do to it.

is there much value in these cars in good condition.
any info would be brilliant as im struggling

The running & maintanence costs are about the same as a 2wd Golf of the same age/mileage, the fuel consumption is a couple of percent more with the 4wd though.

If you have a carburettor car? fitting a Weber carb increases both power & economy
As for value, a low mileage one in tip top condition with full mot etc will fetch round about a thousand pounds or so, but UK prices for good cars do appear to be on the increase.
