Hi all,
I started looking at Mk3's last year but gave up, following the RRDay my love for the MK3 valver's was renewed, I saw this on ebay today and think it looks ok - thoughts please?

Nice looking car, although if it's spent all it's life in WSM i'd have a good poke around underneath.

Looks tidy enough Doc, although personally I'd be looking for a 3 door............................
Although this is very nice

Been trying to talk to the guy over the price but it seems he's quite intent on keeping it - strange hey ho.....
I don't think he thinks I'm serious - can't blame him I mean I'm only a moderator on the best gti forum going :grin:

Here's how the conversation went:
ME:
Dear tud555,
Hi, sorry to ask but do you have a buy it now price please? Cheers CJM
HIM:
HELLO sorry no, thanks for the interest.
ME:
Thank you, may I ask how much the reserve is set at? Kind regards Craig
HIM:
HELLO reluctant to say as it is an auction, the reserve is my safety net my wife wants to sell i'am very happy to keep her. regards john
ME:
Best of luck with the "sale" although it sounds like you don't really want to sell, revealing the reserve is neither one thing or the other really, just helps serious buyers such as myself work out if your price is reasonable or unreasonable. Take care Craig
HIM:
IF your a serious buyer and your fairly close pop round and and make up your own mind, will sell but has to be the right price i believe these cars will be a future classic.regards john
ME:
I'm not close I'm over 200 miles away hence the qualifing questions, please take a look on the thread below
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=191558.10
May convince you that I am very serious - I'm "the doc" by the way.....
HIM:
i'll take your word that your serious,the golf will be sold to the highest bidder,if it does not sell i'll store it for 10/12 years,.no probs thanks for your interest

Thought id let you know the reserve price is at £2650 seems alot to me and no it is not my car i just thought id find out for you quick since you sparked my interest :wink:
-
Does seem reluctant to sell. Although that is a lot of money for the car. I know they are rare, but still.
-
maybe hes listing it just to keep the mrs happy and a high reserve with no real expectation to sell? then he can say he tried but it didnt sell :evil:
-
Cunning, I know how I'll be selling a car in the future now. :grin:
-
ha im only guessing but it sounds plausable he does seem reluctant to sell not a terrible idea though but seems like a waste of time really

Thanks for your work mate, don't know why he would just say when I asked :rolleyes:
It's far to expensive, I'd expect a mint one with goid history etc for that to be honest :wink:

No can do :grin:
I just want a mk3 valver :smiley:
The golf 130PD needs to a be:
A. A golf
B. look as sh1t as possible, trying for Jewish racing gold, then I'll be spending more on the engine than the car cost, hence I want one with the 130 motor.
All in the name of fun of course :wink:
