In the market for one and this has been on there for a few months now. Could be either a good or a bad thing?
-
are your intentions to modify or leave standered
-
modify :)
remap
lower
miltek exhaust
and more :)
guessing the year and engine could be a problem?
-
no mate wont be a problem just u could find a modified 1 around same price thats been looked after aswell
-
that was my other option but i'm going to go for one in a garage get a bit of reassurance then. But could be tempted to change my mind ;)
-

bit dear tbh

bit dear tbh
A bit dear :huh: Have you added up the value of everything on it? It comes to more than the car is up for without the price of the base car plus all standard parts are still about and didnt need replacing so could still be completely OEM.................. Absolute steal if you were thinkin of modding anyway or even just to strip the bits and bang on a standard ECU
-
Wow that's a real beaut mate unfortunately with me only being 21 think a car with all that will b a tad expensive on the insurance :(. Another reason y I was looking at standard than adding bits over time. Got 2.0 gti atm and it's a lovely drive just want a bit much punch after driving my dads vr6 lol :D
-
deffo dear m8!!
-
mate tbh mods dont add that much value to a car, its done 133k and its 12 yrs old you will be lucky see £3000
-
With that mileage, definatley overpriced.
-
A car is worth whatever someone is willing to spend just like anything. If I could go back to when I was looking for a Golf and mine was availible in the state its in for £3500, Id snap it up. Its cost me a lotta coin to get it to where it is. Also, mileage is just a number. Id challenge it against any Mk 4 with half or more miles on it to drive as faultlessly. Plus cambelt, turbo, exhaust, hoses, waterpump, stat, coolant temp sensor, genuine g60 flywheel and sachs clutch (1500 miles ago), service every 3-4000, full extensive history, new suspension, wishbone bushes, ARB's and braces etc etc have all been done so really not too much that can fail.......... He says :grin:
-
When cars get to that mileage, plenty can fail. The main points being cylinder compression, head gasket and gear box.
-
Yeah bud, they can but the box showed no wear when doing the clutch, still tight in the gear positions, no noise etc, compression tests are fine which will really only fail on a negkected car and head gasket is ok and no biggie even if it did go and caught early. All those problems can come up at ANY mileage on pretty much any car depending on how its treated et al
-
must of had x-ray vision to examine your gearbox when doing your clutch mate, the 02j ECW/EHA gearbox is known for failure plus my 98 105k mk4 must be worth at least £10k then because its got loads more mods than yours but can only seem to attact people who want to pay £4k
come on be realistic
-
careful with low mileage cars too, parts such as bushes etc can start to fail that higher mileage cars have already had replaced (talking from experience)
-
What were the other 6K of mods then?..... Enlighten me
-
I agree that a car is worth what someone will pay... I had the gt tdi as in my sig.. Started as a standard 110 VE, converted to run a pd150 turbo, steinbaur chip, full miltek system, r32 kit, gen rs6 wheels, Koni fully adjustables, kamei grill etc etc. I wanted 5k for it on 120k and I got so many offers for 2/3k it was ridiculous so I withdrew it and didn't sell!

Bushes are hardly something terminal though.
-
ive got siebon carbon fibre bonnet, wings, boot, spoiler, poly rear window, r32 seats, brembo 323mm brakes, r32 steering wheel, bora vents, miltek anni style, genuine anni kit, brand new ko3s turbo, jbs manifold, forge FMIC, bbs ch wheels, chrome rocker, chrome inlet, brand new o2j ECW gear box with wavetrac LSD etc etc plus its just had a full respray at a cost of £800
sorry also forgot eibach coilovers and audi TT steering rack, wishbones, hubs, arb, etc etc
-
A full respray for £800? :shocked:
-
4 doors, both quaters, both bumpers + roof the rest is carbon fibre :evil:
-
Thats not anywhere near 10K...... Unless you've got mug on your head. So pretty much mine without 2k of carbon, the £400 brembos, a cheapo respray, a diff and some dipped parts and some Konig seats. :huh:
-
how did this post end up like this? peoples cars are there prize posessions. Anyone can ask for how much they want depending how sentamentle it is, i think its a reasonable price, mileage may be a little high but cmon, we all know a well treated golf can reach 250k! its a nice car :drool:

im not desputing that mate all i said was his golf was overpriced, i know mine aint worth £10k but ive spent well over that in parts btw the brembos were brand new and cost £1200
-
You wont get that money for it any time soon thats why you been trying to sell it for months. Maybe if somebody falls in love with it but that price is rediculous
-

No but it can still end up costing a fair bit to replace it all if you can't do the work yourself
-
sounding like the mk6 lot :undecided:
-
sorry didnt think this topic would cause so much argument lol.
we're all friends lets all calm down :laugh:
