Its been a good past few years, and the Golf has been a right trooper throughout. I've loved driving it, I've hated driving it. But I can honestly say, I've learnt a HUGE amount from owning it.
Much to the dismay of my friends, family and wider part of the world, the Golf has been a big part of my life for the past 5 years, keeping me entertained at weekends, and annoyed during the week! Owning an old car is definitely a love/hate relationship and I'd happily say, me and the Golf are parting on good terms - and I'll sorely miss her (although, I do have a more temperamental modern sled to content with now!).
Which leads me on to say, its time to hand it over to a new owner. Its a great car, and worth a fortune in parts alone, and given how many parts have actually been replaced - its truly hard to put a solid price on her. She's no show winner - but maybe could be with some elbow grease :smug: Which is why I've made the price between £1,500 to £2,500.
This is the stage where you guys can tell me I'm mental and that its either waaay too cheap, or waaay to expensive, or juussst right.
With no further ado, here is your link ...

Oh, and if I can sort storage permanently, she's going in a dehumidified plastic bubble forever!

Have to say you've been through a lot with that car, shame it's moving on but needs must and all that. Good luck with the sale :smiley:
BTW I've used your DIY thread countless times. Thank you!

Yeah another big thanks for your project thread! Helped me out a few times!
It looks like the golf would be good value at £1500 for a tidy well kept example. Sounds like a good competative selling price, which is probably needed to shift it sooner rther than later. I think the £2500 mark is a bit much, the higher milage (although its 'average') and the miss matched respray colour would put me off for that much money. Saying that the spare seats etc should allow the buyer to make something back. Maybe worth asking for 2k and losing a bit with haggling...
Of course if you want to keep it for a while, £4995 would be a good advertising price... and you never know, it might go! :laugh:

It's too cheap......... um it's too expensive! :grin: fook knows, as long as you're not in a rush to get rid as now is probably not the best time to sell... I think offers between your suggestion seems fair to me.. You know how it goes, it's worth as much as someone is willing to pay, put it up for offers or maybe the bay of e with a reserve for the minimum you could live with and hopefully you might be surprised with the final bid???

Start high and come down in price....
You can't start low and put it up!!!
But as we all know it's only worth what someone is willing to pay - or you'll have to wait for that one guy who wants to pay for a well sorted car - with loads of history as in the work that you have done on it!!
