Sad times but you'll be entering the world of the best Golf ever whichever model you buy.

Much as it pains me to say it if you want one that will hold maximum value then you need to be looking for a late Big Bumper 16v in as close to original spec as you can find. All the other models are still brilliant cars and you'll love it but be prepared to look at a lot of over priced heaps of crud.

As above Pistonheads, Club GTi or Volkscars, Volkswizard (these two will ask a little bit more but have decent cars).

Hmm, I'm enjoying my mk5 so much that the mk2 will be going up for sale, once I've fixed a little list of problems ;)
