Title: considering selling my 1.4 golf mk3 but much it worth?
Post by: mcwaffle on 04 March 2011, 21:24
Well after joining the vdub crew i am pleased with my car and love that it drinks nothing on fuel but very unsure weather to keep it or sell it on!
Since owning the car here is what i have done!
full years mot and 6 months tax

full new brake lines at the back
2 new front tires
new exhuast - Cat- downpipe and centre pipe!
fully sanded the entire car down! knocked out all the old rust and filled it in!
then full coat of chalkboard paint (5 coats) you can draw on it!

for photos look on my facebook of bits whilst its been done!

You can't see the facebook pics if your not your friend, but for a 1.4 with a home grown paint job you won't be looking at much more than about £350-400 I wouldn't have thought :undecided:

Just to show you what else you can get for sub £500, bear in mind that this is what they are advertised for and the chances are they will sell for less:

Those are all from a dealer as well, so you could expect less as there is no come back for them should anything go wrong. Unless you can offer a warranty that is! :laugh:

My current mk3 is perfect inside and out and cost me €750 about a year and a half ago. 1.4s just aren't worth much to be honest.

I sold my 1.4 with 100k miles for £400 over a year ago, if I were selling it now I doubt I would have got that.

Dom is about right £400 or on a really good day £500

I guess the bigger question is what do you think it is worth.

Pictures would also help with a valuation, as would any recent work you've had done on it? Any history with the car? When was it last serviced? etc etc.....
