I've been following this one. Seems to of calmed down at the 8k mark. I've no doubt it'll break 10k easily when the final part of the auction looms.

As I've said to you guys before - if you want one of these rare Golfs - you need to get out of this rip off country and import one. Its really not that difficult.

Post by: G6dub on 11 March 2005, 17:23
It is never worth 10k not even in the UK 8 tops if you ask me.
Title: Re: ANother Limited on e-bay
Post by: tinman on 11 March 2005, 17:28
considering you can buy them in italy for 5.5k (your info), they are certainly not worth 8k. (a 3k premium atm for flying out to italy with a friend. hiring a car, and then 4 tanks of squirt back to the uk, 1 ferry trip, and a drive home).

ah well, fool and their money etc etc.

g6dub - wanna locate another ltd - we'll fly out, repatriate it and split the profit? :)

There's a little bit about the Limited here -----> http://www.myscirocco.org/MISC_VW/misc_vw.html It's basically a wolf in sheeps clothing done on purpose by VAG motorsport, there were only 70 made. Have a search around the net for it to find out more. :smiley:

EDIT: Found this website that's even better, hmmmm, I'm sure I've seen that registration plate somewhere before ! :wink:

G6dub, is that the one that had the interior nicked out of it and it was now cream leather ? :undecided: These are fast becoming my favourite Golf so if you ever fancy swapping yours for a nice Rivage cab, you know where I am ! :laugh: :wink:

This Limited seems to have been withdrawn!

Anyone know why? :rolleyes:
Title: Re: ANother Limited on e-bay
Post by: G6dub on 14 March 2005, 18:55
Yes Gibby the one with the cream leather

Piggy yes it was there earlyer today!  I do know that he said he was offered 10k by someone already and he was trying to get more out of him so maybe he has gone up and so sold? I am sure I will find out soon!

Post by: BOGGLE on 14 March 2005, 19:17
I've been e-mailed today by ebay stating that the car has been withdrawn as the seller had violated one or more of the listing rules??? :huh:

I see that it's back on again, as I saw it last night!

He said that E Gay weren't happy about the description. Having read it I'm not sure what the problem was? :undecided:

Sure that it'll have pissed a few peeps off :grin:

SORRY TO ALL THAT BID ON THIS CAR PREVIOUSLY, EBAY REMOVED MY AD WITHOUT WARNING AS THEY SAID THE TITLE WAS MISLEADING AS I HAD WRITTEN "NOT G60 GTI VR6" !?????

having read that bit - it looks like Ebay are stopping all that NOT Nonsense. good on them i say.

i mean, "1.2 Corsa NOT BENTLEY FERRARI PORSCHE" it was getting a tad stupid.

^^ that is why they are doing it, i had one of my auctions rejected because i put ''not stussy'' in the title. oh well!
Title: Re: ANother Limited on e-bay
Post by: G6dub on 15 March 2005, 18:44
sorry yes that is the same Limited now in Ireland, but I knew someone who test drove it after the e-bay ending and said it wasn't sold on e-bay funny that!!
Title: Re: ANother Limited on e-bay
Post by: G6dub on 19 March 2005, 14:28
If finished is an hour up to 9k still reserve not met! what do we think it will go for, this proves what they say about e-bay people just get carried away!
