I sold my chipped 1998 Passat 1.8T to drive my CGT every day. Yup, I know it's worth it to be driving the car that I fell in love with at age 8 when mom came home with her new 1982 Coupe. Ever since that day I KNEW I'd eventually have one. Then while in college, I discovered the Special Build CGT. I knew mine would have to be one of these. After a LONG search for one locally, one finally came up for sale about 150 miles away. I went to see it, it needed quite a bit of work and the goy was asking $2,500 for it. He knew he had a rare beast and wouldn't let it go for under $2,000...so I know I spent too much for a car that needed work, but the work it needed was not major or drivetrain related (a bunch of little things were wrong, and it needs some body work). At this point all it needs it aesthetic work. I LOVE driving my car.

Hello all,
God I resemble that comment!!! :-)
"I love it more every day that I own it. I know it is "pound foolish" to put
the kind of money into her that I have, but there just isn't anything on the
market that catches my eye like a CGT. I'd bet that by the time I'm done
with her, I'll have close to $10,000 tied up in a car
worth" $2,000-$2,500, but she'll be in like new condition..." -Dave-
