Unfortunately Mate there is no market for them at the moment. I would think around the 1000/1200 quid mark is fair but there are some advertised for as little as 450 and 600 quid that just would not sell. Considering it's the Anni tou would think it would sell well but that's not the case Bud.
-
So looking around the £1000 mark for her then
-
Needs a good hit with the lowering stick :smiley:
-
It's still a tidy, clean example with all the original Anni parts on it. I would hold on to it for a bit longer once the market picks up and you should be able to get a bit more for it.

Na its original, If i keep it i would but will see
-
It looks really tidy actually, what did it cost you in the end?

Will look a whole lot nicer once I've gave her a bit of TLC & I cant be telling you that ;)
-
Some buyers would actually prefer a standard Anni to be honest. I have put mine back to standard parts and my mods (Vento front and lowering) are easily changable and all original parts are in my shed.
-
It will sell better if kept original.
Does look like it could do with an old spit and polish though :cool:
-
I put mine back to original and sold all the inpro lights that came on it (pictured) and made a load of money back on what i paid for it, looks better as Vw intended i think!!

Yeah been watching a few on ebay and a silver one that had more miles and was not in as good condition went for 1k
-
A chap by me has had his for sale for a good 6 months and that is nice and clean. It's currently up for just 600 and won't sell. Another chap on here and edition 38 had one on which was again nice and clean. Up for sale for months and did not sell for 600 quid !!!!! I guess it will be down to timing. If you can attract a buyer who is looking for obe at the tine. I spent two years looking for one before I bought mine.
-
just sold my 8v anni for 900, really wasnt expecting too as most were going for around 500-700 mark. sold it for same price i brought it for 3 years bk, rahter happy, the hunt for a VR begins!
-
I sold my own Anni for £1925 lost loads of money on it but as Annis go it was a nice one after I had spunked all my money on it :grin: I dont think mk3s will every really go up much and the only way you stand a real chance of pulling reasonable money back is if its very well kitted up as in loads of extras my Anni was more to insure than a VR6 work that one out lol
-
Been really busy lately with work and so on so not much has happened to here few things have been sorted like,
Fitted a OEM Tape player with AUX tape
Also fitted an OEM Tape player holder
& the wheels have been refub'd

Maybe a bit OT but iv'e noticed that ebay seems to be flooded with mk3's at the moment.I browse every day and there is always quite a few on there but in the past week or so that seems to have increased massively.
My only thoughts about "why" is maybe cost of fuel,insurance is putting people off so they are dropping them whilst they think they have a chance of selling them.
It's certainly a buyers market,cars with good history,rarer models etc are the only one's that seem to be selling and even then prices are down around 15 - 25% on last year.
For me though i just love the car so it's value does'nt come in to it.My car owes me very little and is probably worth more in parts but i would hate to be a seller of a MK3 at the moment :smiley:
-
I sometimes think about selling mine, so i can get corrado vr......even those have dropped in price drastically.
Must be fuel and tax prices etc.
Gunna put the red stripe back on and get the original wheels back first though.
I cant do anything to mine....because its an anni.....cant be changed etc
