Just after ideas really, just got the new house and will be getting a dog, kids won't be far off! So will be getting a cheap diesel estate and thinking of garaging the mk3 till summer, but what could I expect to get for it as a full car or a possible drive away conversion? It's a fully running 1.8t conversion but has no mot, should pass but not 100% sure could possibly fail on handbrake
-
Also add no faults or anything I've been driving out since conversion for around a year, mot had only just run out
-
See a mint supercharged vr6 with costom leather go for £2500
You would need to give it mot and tax to get best money.
£2000 is tops to me.

Mot is more of a time issue than money, tax is good for 6 months. If someone offered £2000 id tear their arm off! I worry that if I garage it it would get neglected would rather sell it to someone who would use it just can't let it go for cheap I was expecting to struggle to get a grand for it

needs a MOT to really get any decent offer
I was offered 10k for my car at VW festival :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: thats including my MTM Porsche/Audi RS2 turbo parts (£7k reciept for this stuff alone)
bear in mind i have full 2.5k repaint, 2k retrim, fully forged 45k S3 lump with genuine MTM kit etc etc, truly a 1 off car
I could not build a exact replica for this price.. its worth more in parts sadly
i think 2.5k max if you had MOT (and rest of car is tidy). and this is really a bargain for someone who wants a 20vt mk3.. will cost more than that to carry out the conversion
id hold on to it if i was u, too little money for the work put in

cheers mate, appreciate that, not just me that built the car, me and my mate Ben built it and other cars too :cool:
-
Thx for replies pretty much what I was expecting. I say of quickly take 2 grand but only because its more than what I think it would get anywhere else it would be reluctantly and I wouldn't take any less, the amount of time and money spent on it makes me want to cry!
Think im gonna garage it until the house is sorted and I can afford to run and maintain it again
Moment of madness over :grin:

Ha why you think my vr6 is still in my garage :laugh:
Can't sell cars
