.......its a cat D!
Was light panel damaged in 2005 and was repaired by VW, to look at you cant tell at all. Its done 75k with good service history.
What would you say its worth and should I avoid it???
-
Depends on price on weather it worth it IMO :laugh:
-
£4600?
-
£4600?
Might be worth a punt if you were going to keep it :undecided:
-
Offer them £4000.
Then If Your not happy with it at a later date you could sell it on & not really loose anything.
Is it Petrol or Diesel?
-
petrol, 52 plate in silver.
-
You could get a nice sum back by breaking it if you couldn't sell it on.
Seats, interior, headliner, wheels, bumpers and engine will all go for a good price!
-
Yeah true, but They wont take £4k, they've been offered more than that already.
-
Seems pricey, considering you can get alot of 60k GTI's for £4,000 or slightly less with the cambelt just changed.
-
yeah but its a Anni thats probably worth £5500 + easily.

You'd be lucky to get 4k for one WITH the cambelt changed mate these days.

i would never pay that much for a mk4 .. rather invest in a cat d audi diesel s line or s3 :smiley:
-
I would say that prity good to be fear for a Anny. If it was just boddy and not chassis damage i would say go for it. I think i would if i had seent that a few months ago.
Love the anny. Thay have so many bits that just make it that bit more of a speshal Golf :D
-
Cheap anni though isnt it. If your happy paying that id go have a look at it, make sure repairs have been done properly and try get it for 4.5k area.
Thats all any other potential buyer will do, if all is repaired properly then why not.
-
I've also been looking at an S3, 02 plate, 100k miles for £5000. Insurance is cheaper on the s3 than the anni for some reason
-
the anni's probably rarer, and stolen for parts more i guess
-
I would say thats a good price my mates had a few cat D cars and they have been great cars

was looking at 1 myself,same age and colour with repaired panel damage,wouldnt take a penny less than £5500 for it though.i would go for it.
-
Just found another, in black with£71k full vw service history for £5k
I'm looking at a 2001 s3 on Wednesday with 104,000 miles in Nogaro blue that's up fir £5500
-
id go 4 it! paid £8000 for my anni nearly 2 years ago, 45000 miles full vw service history. panel damage is nothing
-
Thing is, when I come to sell it I don't want it to be worth a lot less than I paid. Since I sold my mk4 4 weeks ago I've had to A3's already, but now I'm looking for something to keep for at least 6m + and to be worth what I pay for it now.
-
Right, looking good for the anni now, he's accepted my offer. Still having second thoughts though with it being a cat D.
-
Make sure he shows you round the repairs that were taken out and inspect to make sure its properly done.
Wouldn't worry if its all good.
-
If you get it & decide you dont want it ill swap you for my TDi (& Ill even leave the R32 front & R-line Rear on it!!) :wink:
-
I had the same with mine but only a 1.8T non anni, as long as the repairs are done well, its documented and is in YOUR price bracket then go for it, just keep it and bare in mind the re sell value.....
-
I've just done a hpi check on to make sure everything else is ok but it never said whether it was car c or d?
-
I don't think it does, I think it'll show on the Logbook as accident recorded repair, with or without a VIC check...
-
oh right ok, I'll have to check that then. thanks.
-
Don't take that for granted but its how mine shows....
-
ok, is there any other way to be sure??
-
Get the details of the repair(s) i.e the repair centre like a receipt or info on the buyback from the insurance company should that have been the case, check why its not recorded on HPI, might be a reason... Also if the person who owns the car is the person that has had the accident/repairs done then it won't show on the logbook until it comes to you. Make sure you get the VIC test document should it need it.... very important.
-
well, log book says it has had a VIC check 24/11/2006. so is it defo a Cat C then?
-
Yeah, I'm sure Cat D doesn't require a VIC check.....
-
Yeah, I'm sure Cat D doesn't require a VIC check.....
Correct only cat c needs a vic check.
-
Right, off to look at the anni tomorrow and maybe bring it home ;)
what should I be checking? Where's the chassis nos and engine nos?
Mike.
-
also make sure its not been hit hard etc as we repair cars like this at work and some are not always what they should be :lipsrsealed: if you no what i mean?? even if thet have passed the inspectors test! good luck m8 let us no how it goes :wink:
