Cool, I'm a massive fan of Wheeler Dealer. Any idea when it'll be aired?
-
That is quality mate!!! :cool:

I like my mk3 very much and greatly admire many other peoples mk3 but i'm struggling to figure out how they could make any real money out of the project and which mk3 variant they might choose, none are what you'd call rare or special so am suprised they didn't go for a mk2 G60/rallye or even something like a down at heal mk4 r32, don't shoot me down in flames for this because i would defend the mk3 as a proper GTi all day long but i do think there are more worthy members of the golf GTi lineage.

i dont know what people base the "mk3 isn't a gti" arguement on, the slowest gti brand ever is the mk4, and there probly find one for £300 spend £200-£300 maybe and sell it for a good price

Ha well done on the feature. Yours is a great example for the job :wink:

The more recent episodes have been based around much pricier cars .

oh, haven't seen it for a little while but i'll check this one out for sure
-
They've been playing about with £10000 plus motors recently this is why i'm suprised they would look at mk3's unless they have begun to lose the target audience and are going back to more affordable stuff.
-
yeah i suppose, not many of people have that sort of money to play with
-
They also havent had the "here is a mint one" format for years. hope it goes ahead though and theres easily a few hundred quid in a good 16v or a vr if they get one for sub £500.

I thought this myself, it seems like a step backwards for the show tbh. Il still be watching regardless.

Just thinking the same, even a tidy mk3 is what a £1500 tops these days maybe a little more, so not going to be big profit.

soon as i hear anything will let you all now : )

the cars they have done so far are :-

why have they gone back to cheaper cars as they seemed to be working there way up. are they going back to hot hatch type stuff again?
so did he drive your car around like he does in the program or has he yet to do that?
i do love the show and always watch it. but the thing that makes me laugh is they say they make a profit. but what about all the man hours edd puts in and the cost of fuel to go get the parts and stuff. its ok if you have a garage and all that gear but always makes me think about the man hours they dont price into the profit.
-
They always make a nice profit at the end but don't factor in the very well equipped workshop plus Ed and his mate who helps him out and lots of juicy 'trade' contacts , great programme though and it does show how you can make something worth having out of something most other people would reject.
