"Under normal circumstances, this car with such low mileage and a single owner should be just over a year old – not 27 years. It feels as if time has stopped, and you experience the 1990s anew."

Description

The Joker was one of countless special editions designed to personalize your Volkswagen Golf during the 1990s. This particular one was sold by Lecab in Karlstad to a woman in September 1997. However, she did not use the car very much or often. Nevertheless, service was always performed punctually, including the timing belt change at the recommended intervals. In 2023, she sold the car to a dealership, which quickly resold it to the current owner, who has also scarcely used the car.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    It functions exceptionally well, and driving it, handling the controls, and more provides a glimpse into what it was like to pick up your new car in 1997.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is unique to the Joker edition. With this package, you got white gauges and the eye-catching upholstery – super trendy in 1997. Everything is in impeccable, flawless, and almost clinically clean condition. There are a few minor scratches on the plastic panels near the driver’s seat.

  • Exterior condition

    This car has probably never been driven in winter conditions, or even in the rain. There is a small scratch on the left front fender that should be possible to polish out.

  • General condition

    Not long ago, this was a common sight on the roads, but Golf Generation 3 has almost completely disappeared. That’s why it’s exciting when a time capsule like this appears. As close to new condition as you can get.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
