Title: 1999 GTi Advice Please?!!
Post by: sharonb on 20 July 2011, 17:50

Hi,

New to this but i just thought I would ask for some advice.

I have a 1999 (S reg) Gti 20v 1.8 (non-turbo)
Currently no tax, no MOT.

To get an MOT i recon I need new rear pads, discs and calipers and suspension bushes. There are a few other bits but i think i can get an MOT with this work.

Do I...

Take it to a scrappy  :sad:
Sell it as it is on ebay
Get it fixed and then sell it on ebay

In an ideal world, i would get it fixed and keep it  :smiley: but this is not an ideal world  :cry:

Anyone know what it is worth? as is, with tax and test
It is otherwise stunning 3 door in red.

Help??

thanks for reading

Surely brakes and suspension bushes are only about a few hundred quid, surely the car is worth more? Surely it's a no brainer.

Not that expensive to fix, repair and sell it.

not too expensive to fix, but then add MOT, tax & insurance... selling fees... is it still worth it? I recon £500 ish to get it back legalling on the road?
