How much?
« on: 02 December 2003, 10:18 »
Guys, new to this forum, just sold my W reg Nissan 200sx and bought a Golf GTi 1.8T. I want to know if what I paid is reasonable...how much do you think this would be worth:

- 99' 'T' Plate
- Diamond Black
- 5 Door
- Full VW Service History
- Air con (not climate)
- Electric sunroof
- 6 CD autochanger
- 66,000 miles
- Private sale
- Good condition

Also, when do the cambelts need changing on these? Is it 60k or 80k? What sort of money am I looking at for a 70k service with a cambelt change?

Thanks.

 :)

Don't know about price. If the cambelt is the original one then i'd change it now.

It is the original I think as the last owner didn't change it and it doesnt look like it's been done from the SH. I think i'll wait a couple of k and get it done at the 69k service.

Any idea's on cost? And is it worth going to a local specialist instead of a dealer?

Parkers price it at around ?7,500 but that's usually quite high.

It says in the handbook athe cambelt should be changed between 80 k and 115k so i was told by a vw speicialist.
But 7 k sounds ok for your motor :)
