Not alot if wheelbase have been servicing it :laugh:
-
go a little over 3k, if its in good nick. Got ?3750 for one simmaler but with 100K on the clock a few months back
-
ive got a nice black gti 8v full history 90000 on clock was standard when i got it (now modified) last april i payed 3800 for it you will get 3000 no probs
-
Thanks
?3k would be great - only paid ?5k for it over three years ago.
-
over 3k easily - its the right colour, right spec, right mileage and FSH.
A 96P mystic blue with 95k in good order sold on ebay this week for 2400 (not much mention of history)
For info, i was at a car auction a few weeks back and a blue met 98 R reg (not a nice blue met) sold for ?2100. However, it was a mess, dents down one side (proper dents) and serious rust on the other front wing (it was holed it was that bad) and 125 k on the clock. It ran OK - but yours should easily be worth 2800 at auction - so 3-3250 private is realistic.
I know all this as I'm about to flog my mint low mile Mystic blue thats a bit older than yours. The problem I find is that there are many 'ropey' GTis around and a surprising amount with major body corrosion / repaired damage / no SH / tatty / badly modded etc. The buying public see the low prices of these and expect to get my mint car with full history, completely original docs etc for the same price? :angry:
I'd keep it once the Boxster arrives, but its a real hassle insuring 2 cars

Thanks for that m8 ? buying a Boxster eh? I?m replacing my dub with a Honda S2000 ? so a similar upgrade! :grin:
Considered the Boxster but I have to park in the road and I think the S2000 is a bit less conspicuous. :wink:
My Golf is almost perfect expect for a small 2? dent in the rear wing picked up from a trolley or similar. I might get it removed before sale anyway. Otherwise I reckon it?s pretty good. Front alloys a bit scuffed, and a few stone chips on the front?but I guess you expect that on a 7 year old car. Interesting comment about paperwork ? I should be OK there ? comes complete with the original folder / manuals ? even the salesman?s business card from 1998!
When I bought it I struggled to find a decent one ? so I guess it?s got even more difficult these days. I?ll see how I go. :smiley:
