Title: Newbie with '89 Mk 2 Golf 1.3 to sell/dispose of, advice please
Post by: cudders on 06 September 2011, 12:44
Hello, i'd like some advice please:

I am the original "one lady owner" of a Mk II Golf 1.3, G reg ('89), had it from new since I was 17 and driven regularly until child 2 arrived in 2005. Since then it's sat on the drive. Around 85,000 miles on clock and the odd rust spot. Red (faded) with sporty trim, alloys and white go faster stripes!

I need to sell or dispose of it, it's taken me this long to come round to the idea of doing so. I've no idea how it'd get on in an MOT. The battery is flat as a pancake.

Should I just scrap it? (V sad). Is there an ads page on this site (or elsewhere)? Any input very welcome.

Gemma

Really this needs pictures, a bit more of a history, a location and rough price you would want for it.

How to post pictures is laid out here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=85911.0

As said, if you put some pics up then it's easier to get a better idea of what you have....  sounds good though.  :cool:

Welcome, if you can keep it for now do so otherwise sell it to an enthusiast or a motoring museum.

OK here goes; uploading pictures using photobucket... a test! If it works I'll start a new thread (in case this one is 'old' now); thanks for the advice.
