-
£2K at the most.
-

-
picked my 2000 up for £1500 with full MOT 6 months tax full service history 105k
alltho it dose need £200 spent in a body shop to sort a few lil bits out
-
brought mine last november £2900 2001 only done 50k genuine miles really good condition i was well chuffed best car ive ever had !
-
bargin :wink: mayb i payed a bit mor for the warrenty :undecided:

Feb 2008 :tongue:
lol funny guy :grin: :tongue:
-
I paid a grand for mine in Feb (uber favour) although have spent <£2800 subsequently. I cant see me losing on it though.....
-
£2200 tops to be honest.
-
£2870 with a full tank is what i payed i thought that was good tbh
-
It's only worth what your willing to pay for it like anything. There are a lot of dog rough examples about and desperate people with good cars. Yours is probably worth the money. People will say it's priced high but if you ask to buy theirs then the price estimation will soon change...... :laugh:
-
there are some sexy lookin motors on here hope i can get mine lookin like some of these just need to find that frickin money tree first lol :wink:
-

You might have got a warranty but most of the time the warranty's at worth the paper they are printed on.
-
Last June i Paid £3900 for mine
2000 w-reg, AGU, 84k, service history, 3 lady owners, standard apart from OZ 18" alloys. Bodywork was covered in brake dust but i soon sorted that.
The only reason i was happy to pay that was it was in Candy White which you dont see many of in a 3 door 1.8T variant.
-
when lol
Feb 2008 :tongue:
lol funny guy :grin: :tongue:
I ain't joking, 5k in Feb 08 is still a lot for a '99 AGU. Only had 24k on the clock though :cool:

why ? well i have had new discs and pads all round outta them already lol and they didnt even look at the car, still got the new stuff in the garage :tongue:

Hi all,
Im starting to look at golf mk4 GTI prices and I was a bit surprised at some of the comments on how much this one was worth. The 2nd post says £2k. This is rather not what they are going for? Worth and actually how much people are selling them seem different. Obviously there are bargains about (albeit sparsely). From what Ive seen they pretty much start at £3000 for a 100k golf gti. Thats just looking on autotrader and pistonheads. Maybe 4 door ones go a little cheaper and some 120k ones are £2500. I think youd be lucky to get one much cheaper than £3k in the current market that hasnt done at least 90k. Which is annoying, but if thats the going rate then no one should feel ripped off...
-
Mileage is nothing if it's serviced on the regular. Mine has done 126000 and has been serviced (oil) every 3000 miles and runs perfect. You can have mine for £3800 if you like spending money :smiley:
-

Spot on - 140k on mine sounds like new :smiley:
Its all about the oil changes IMO :smiley:
-
I paid just shy of 5k for mine 2 months ago with nearly a years MOT and a whole years tax.. 54k on the clock full VW service history to date.. cambelt 40k.. 5 door.. 1.8t.. mint condition..
It currently has nearly 57k on the clock and ive got it for sale for £4799 as they are still selling for this price on autotrader some of them more.. some people think its steep but they are still reaching this money for a good one !!
Just my 10p's worth guys :cool:
-
That's what people have them up for, not necessarily what their selling for...... You can buy so many better cars for <£5000. I would never pay more than £2000. Mk 4's are probably the best car for >£2800. Over that there are m3s, S3's, older evo's, S4's etc. Good lick with the sale, if it goes for that, I'll rip some mug off :laugh:
-
i no there are cheaper ones but most of them on autotrader have problems like interior not mint and has fag burns or has scratches etc when i was looking this one was best suited to me for my money.. maybe it will sell maybe it wont.. At the end of the day i no i could have afforded a evo or a skyline or many other faster cars BUT my insurance costs would only allow me to afford a car of this insurance group.. which i think is the case for other people otherwise everyone would drive a evo and they would sell in seconds no ?? there are bargains out there if you are willing to travel or be patient me no im an impulse buyer i literally saw the car fell in love and bought it and there are many many other people like me out there its a terrible disease lol
-
i got mine on piston heads at the mo. x plate 2001 in silver for 3300 with k04 turbo an some other bits :wink:
with 83000 on the clock full v/w history. an i have not had 1 bleedin phone call or email. it sucks....
-
ive had a couple of people call and a guy wanting to swap for a 323 bmw full bmw service history etc etc lol
-
323's are a gay 325 which are like a closet homo. I personally wouldn't entertain an evo but they are a better car. All my 24 cars have been impulse buys mate. It's terrible. As soon as I save anything, it's gone before I know it. It could be mild bipolar! :laugh:
-
We should go to the doctors mate it cant be healthy !! lol
-
Were helping the economy....... I put on my cape, go out and single handedly save the country by compulsive purchase!
-
Thats a very good arguement but why when i impulse buy is it always expensive !! lol
-
Coz your the man! I did it tonight with a liquid guage, I didn't even really want one, I just saw one in the classifieds that someone was tryin to haggle a 5er off (a Fu€k!ng 5er off £100 :shocked: ) so I thought that that's harsh so I'll buy it :huh: I feel a milltek coming on......
-
Was that maccas liquid gauge ?? do it do it you no you want to lol
-
Yeah mate, should arrive Friday :grin: it annoys me as I could have charged a brand new m3 if I had never messed about with cars and saved from my 18th but I probably would have self harmed and done some comfort eating to suppress the boredom. Instead I'm a grand overdrawn with a good looking 5 door mk4! :grin:
-
Me too im over a grand over drawn with a 5 door mk4.. we are too alike its scaring me.. if insurance was better i would keep it but i got to sort my finances out before the baliffs come round llol
-
Sign your car over to your dad and tell the bailiff that everything is rented or stolen! Were so alike, it must be romance :laugh:
-
hmmm this is gettin a lil gay lol

that was me, dunno bout you but a fiver is a fiver in my books.....but hay if you dont think a fiver is much chuck a couple quid my way money bags :grin: :wink:
-
A 5er off £100 is not worth saving IMO, in the time it took you to write the haggling post, you could have earned it. It just makes my sh!t itch when I'm advertising something for a set price which states 'priced to sell' and people ring up and say ''what's the best you can do''. Either their lysdexic, or think I would like to give it away. I can't see why anyone else would think differently...... Not having a go at you mate as I have a liquid guage in the post now :grin: Tell ya what, I'll advertise it for you for £110 and in turn you can offer me £105 and you'll think you stole it...... :laugh:
-
hmmm this is gettin a lil gay lol
Gotta gay up the thread, you know you love it :kiss:

That's all the car is worth imo,i picked mine up two years ago 78000 miles,expensive fmic fitted and a few other goodies for £3K and most importantly hadn't been mapped.
-
Indeed, mine may have cost £5k two years ago for a T reg 1.8T. However it had 24k on the clock, absolutely standard, almost every optional extra and had been serviced every year by VW, no expense spared :afro:

:grin: all i said is 95 and you got a sale lol how much do you earn an hour :smug: just difference in op really init for arguement sake i bought a 106 gti (yeah i no its a french lump of sh!te) and some people may think im wrong but i agreed (sort of) a price over the phone that he said he wouldnt move on after the 2 hour drive to go and get it i knocked him down from a grand to 800 for sum 1 that wont move on the price.....best bit is 3 months later i sell it for 1300 from an "impulse buyer" 1300 was the list price and i would of taken 1000 and made 200 profit instead i made 500 on a shed lol...... in a way i should praise you or people like you that dont haggle as you make me money. not avin ago either m8 jus bit of banter init dude :cool:
-
Mate, Im normally the worst haggler you'll meet but not from forum members that are tryin to help each other out. I dont enjoy payin over the odds for anything and I enjoy selling things at a loss even less! I love exploiting desperate people, gives me a great sense of wellbeing! :grin: I just thought the guage was already competitively priced, any cheaper and it would appear to be a scam! lol. As for the hourly wage, it was £14 but now almost half due to the offer of a paycut or no job at all. Things are bleak here pal. Gotta thank Lloyds for the generous overdraft though..........That'll learn em :evil: Well done with the 106, did the guy who bought it off you have a bit of downes in him????? Clearly never had a French car before or maybe he just hated himself and friends/family who would be travelling in it! Their so schmall and pokey!
-
lol no i ment about earning a fiver in the time it took me to do the post. :smiley: but yeah no what you mean i have had weekend work cut and down 2 8 quid odd an hour, killer init. lucky the mrs has just got a job that pays about the same.
