Good score, good for you - I paid three hundred for this one a month or so ago, a 1996 golf 1.9 IDI with about 160-ish klm on it.
Not German, but hey - the price was right.

you guys need to come to the east coast for cars. I pick up VW's all the time from 100 to 500$ running lol. I brought home a 91 Jetta NA last winter for 100 bucks and the thing worked great.

there are plenty running for that price, but none in as good of shape as this one.
heck, I don't think I have ever seen a mk2 in as good shape ever before in person!
I am happy to pay $400 for it, even with a blown motor.

400 with a blown motor is not bad, I paid 750 for my 97MK3 with a Blown Motor lol

you would be amazed at all the hate I am getting from the local guys.
they seem to think that I am doing something wrong trading up from a hammered piece of junk to a super clean low mileage dream car.
they seem to think that I am committing blasphemy by parting/selling the nasty shell I am driving around in now.
as if I were crushing a 69 corvette or something.

I will agree with you there, but I have no plans of(and never said I did) crushing the GTI, just stopping its use as a daily driver.
what will happen to it is undecided at this point, I might try and build an ice racer out of it

oh, and Beans (the vicious attack dog) will certainly wear your skin away licking it if you let him.

you still got a good deal on that.
I would love to get my hands on one, even if only for a weekend to tune the motor.

I have and old Snap-On version of one of those.. "Lumy-Mag" I think they call it.. Came with my Oscilloscope.. I'd love to toy with it but I only have adapters for early GM v8 diesels..
The local rep is about worthless for trying to find the VW adapters...

how does it measure injection timing, replace a glow plug with an adapter?

It appears that way.. It has a little optical doo dad that screws in a glow plug hole.. Then there is another adapter to mount a magnetic pickup in the hole on the bell housing for a tach and TDC signal..
