Post by: clancy on 17 June 2014, 18:37: I picked up a mint 16v 3 door, 60k miles, FSH, no rust, 6 month t and t for £800. I'd say that was overpriced somewhat

Post by: Bandit127 on 17 June 2014, 19:45: You were lucky for £800. I think the price of Mk3s has turned. Most have rust and will be being scrapped off now.

Post by: Foreveryoungaus16v on 17 June 2014, 19:50: Most people say 'no rust' but have not removed all the arches and sills to see if there really is no rust lol

Post by: clancy on 17 June 2014, 20:02: I have removed most of the car, no rust on the arches or the foot wells anywhere, nor slam panel or wings or doors or boot. It's immaculate

Although I do agree I got a good price, would of thought it's worth more like £1300

Post by: snozan on 17 June 2014, 20:13: Bought mine for £1600. I would be willing to pay that for the car (if the steering wheel was on the other side :evil: ) However i would be very picky regarding the state of the car (as rust etc).

But sure i would pay :smiley:

Never give up on the MK3 is my thought.If i were to change i would go backwards to a mk2 or mk1.

Mk3 is an iconic car,not just the gti,all models.

Keep them away from the breakers !.

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 18 June 2014, 06:23: Looks just like my last 16v albeit with less mileage. Thats nearly 3 times what I was asking for mine and it still didn't sell hence I stripped it. The owner of this is seriously dreaming!

Post by: Foreveryoungaus16v on 18 June 2014, 08:56: I agree

Post by: madmanmart on 18 June 2014, 09:05: I wouldn't want it at any price being a 5 door.

I agree that mk3 prices have turned a little, good ones are starting to get thin on the ground.
