I will be selling the GTI shortly as we have a new car in mind for family duties.
If anyone knows of someone looking for one let me know.
I doubt there is a better used car for sale anywhere.

Vultures circling already loool :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ( I was going t ask the same, but pretty sure he has already sold most of it)

You can't say you have a new car in mind without indicating what you fancy.Spill.

Mkvikens car will be better and cleaner than new this guy is a perfectionist. So someone grab a bargin.
Im not joking, he dusted his dash twice in the hour he was at mine once :cool:
-
Yeah I've got issues. Thanks for the compliments Geoff.
No mods other than suspension on the car which I was going to remove.

Do you still have the B8/sport line kit fitted Ken? I'd certainly be interested if you were to remove it :smiley:
-
Yeah it's still fitted but I will remove it before I sell the car.
Sandy on here wanted it before but not sure if he still does so it might be for sale again.

Cheers Ken, if for some reason Sandy no longer wants it I'd definitely be interested myself :smiley:

Ok no bother
I will be taking it off the car when I'm home next probably.
Think the suspension goes for around £700 so would be wanting no less than £400 for it.
-
I'm probably going to be doing the same in the spring :rolleyes:
Need something i can take fishing, now the missus has chopped in her jeep for a hatchback.
So if anyone else wants the suspension, don't hesitate.
Cheers
Sandy

Been offered 18k for the car from a lad at work, which is a lot more than the part ex price I would get so think the car is going.
Obviously the car in VW would be more expensive so a good deal for both of us.
Would be sad to see it go - I bought it with the intention of never selling it - but it's being wasted going nowhere other than to the shops everyday.

Phoned around a few Renault dealers and have suprising decent part ex price
My mate wants to buy it which will be more money my way but might leave the wife without a car until new car lands and also means I have to drop the car off in Aberdeen.
Part ex + selling the suspension not far away from private sale.
If I do part ex it I will remove the suspension if I sell it to my pal I will leave it on.
Beddie do you still want the suspension? £400

don't want to be to nosey but what Renault you thinking on getting

Getting my mrs a new captur.
Very good value as they're well spec'd with sat nav cruise control and climate etc. also have 4yr warranty and servicing and RAC cover.
Don't need a golf GTI for taking babies to play school and sainsburys and I rarely drive it.
I've got my toy (clio 200) which I choose to drive over the golf if I go for a blast out so might as well get something more suitable for my wife
I'm also buying an S2 elise but keeping my clio so if I have a clio200 an elise and a Gti its a bit much so 2 toys and a shopping trolley is the way to go.

i had to Google what a Renault captur looked like and I'm impressed looks nice I know what your saying about the gti sometimes I think I should get somethink a bit more practical but I like the drive to much
-
Good luck with your sale and future car purchase..... I still miss my old Mk6 GTI sometimes
-
Thanks for that
I'm sure I will miss it sometimes
It the best car I've owned overall but not the most fun nor the most practical so not really what I need
If I had 1 car its perfect bu if you have 2+ then wasted a bit

Just curious why you don't perceive a 5 door Golf as a good everyday shopping car, surely they are perfect for this.

Mines on 12000 and 2 years older than yours :embarrassed: still has the new car smell!
After looking at the values of mk6s from dubber36 post elsewere this morning and seen how the values are dropping im now thinking about actually changing my ideas and next year to use the mk6 as a replacment for my 2005 leon, sell the leon and use the mk6 all year round for all the dirty, oily, soily, messy, nasty jobs and stuff i do involving cars/workshops/garages stuff as well as shopping/DIY/gardening.. Therefore stop pampering the mk6 just treat it as just a car. As all the leon replacments ive looked at are around 10 to 13k which is all the mk6 is probably worth. Maybe I should buy myself a snow blower to be able to get out to the main road though lol as the leons front bumper and undersides took a battering this past few years and the mk6s front bumper is much lower than the leons.

As I said it is a great all rounder but there are better shopping trolleys out there and better hot hatches out there.
As I said I don't need one car to do everything. I can have 2 or more cars for specific duties, so a jack of all trades is a compromise.
I enjoy my clio way more than my Gti and my mrs doesnt need a 250bhp car which draws attention and has to worry about leaving in supermarkets, worry about kerbs and I feel the need to keep immaculate.
A runaround fits the bill better than a golf Gti which we are precious over.
Plus the golf is out if warranty in October and the thought if running one of these without a warranty is frightening - as is the finance cost if I chose to keep I after the term is finished.
I will miss the Gti but its run its course for me and will be glad of a change. The problem is I bought the wrong car in the first place for what I want.

All makes sense and can see your logic :cool:
