Hi there,
I am new to the forum however in my search for a GTI Mk1 I have come across a mint left hand G60 in factory purpule and recaro seats (factory option?). I think it may be reasonably priced at 10 k but have no idea and all internet searches have given me no indication of current prices?
Can anyone help?
Also would this be a better investment than a mk1 campaign ?
Thanks fellas

Due to the rarity good examples are becoming rare so prices are increasing. If you do go and look at it ask when the supercharger was last serviced/rebuilt.

Thanks, is there anywere I can find out what similar cars are making, already checked ebay, autotrader etc.
Cheers

10k for a mint G60! NO!
10k for a mint Rallye OH YES!
-
G60s are rare enough that it is possible that there is only one on the market at any one time (certainly in good nick).
So I suppose 10k is the going rate. Would you be happy to part with 10k for a mint G60? If yes, go buy it

Being purple are you sure it's not an Edition One?
-
I paid £7800 back in January for a Golf G60 Edition Blue. It was on at £10k. I looked for around 7-8 months to find a good one.
For yours I guess you can haggle a bit - depends if it needs work doing to it. For me the sunroof didn't work, headlining was droopy, and a few other niggles but nothing too major. As others have said finding out when the charger was last serviced is most important.

Yep the prices are defiantly on the up as you don't see them on sale too often, and 10k for a good original example does sound about right in recent searches. The price really does depend on many factors such as millage, documented service history, and weather it is original or not. Expect to pay top dollar for an nice, clean original example.
Always check and make sure it is a factory G60, as there are many converted G60's about.
Check for charger history, but don't let it put you off if it hasn't been done, as there are quite a few places about that do rebuilds for about 350 quid. Just negotiate harder if it hasn't been done.

Thanks everyone - what a dilema!
He has a mk1 GTI Campaign at 133,000 miles which has had a painjob but a lot of overspray on the underneath but is generally sound and wants £6,800 for it.
Then he showed me the G60 which was immaculate appart from some rust around the rear windscreen wiper. This thing really was lovely with about 200 k on the clock (km). As mentioned he wants 10k for it.......I have looked around and it could well be an Edition 1, how can I tell if it is a geniuine G60 and if its an Edition 1?
The big question is which one ? Or both and really blow the bank apart and get a divorce??
Cheers again everyone,
Sion

how much service history does the G60 have?

:whistle:
Still cheaper than a Mk7...

Hard to choose between the two cars. I was in the same dilemma myself, but opted for the G60 as the MK1 felt a bit gutless in power compared to the G60. But it's all about the character, and personal choice.
To check if it is an original G60. The rear panel (above the spare wheel as you look in the boot) has a VAG sticker which gives all model information. It should say G60 on that sticker. The same sticker should also be on the first page of the service book "if he still has the original". So you could match it up to that.
Edition one G60 specification:
Colours: Metallic Quartzite (Pearl Grey), Dark Burgundy Pearl (Aubergine) or Black metallic.
An "Edition One" sticker on the corner of the bonnet
Removal of the red GTI trim around the radiator grille (Black grill)
BBS RM012 two piece split rim wheels
Round "Wolfsburg Edition" emblems on the wings instead of the side repeater indicators
Mirrors painted in body color
G60-spec wider wheelarch flares all around
Partially darkened tail lights
Front white indicators
The VW logo on the back in black
Power steering with four-spoke steering wheel
Gearlever knob and handbrake grip covered with leather
Mauritus Blue interior trim with matching carpet, door cards and boot area.
Embroidered RECARO sports seats with electric height adjustment
Chromalux glass on the rear side windows and rear window (Slightly tinted)
Power steering
MFA
ABS
I might have missed something, but it should get you started lol. :smiley:

Hi did not have it with him but I am sure he said it was average ....what ever that means.
At the time I was only looking at the Mk1 but all night I have been dreaming of the G60.....

Thanks a lot I will have a think about it and check the car over when I see him next - I have looked for other G60 but hardly none for sale, are they that rare ? How many were made and how many are still around???
Thanks again

10k for a mint G60! NO!
10k for a mint Rallye OH YES!
Hate to say this but those days are gone. £15k for a clean rallye. £18k for a mint rallye.
G60 edition1's i have sold for £8-9-10k a time. Those were minters. Rusty ones for £7k
£8-9-10k for a lhd g60 edition1 is about right.
First thing you do to a G60 is change the crank bolt. It shouldn't need "pinning" but just a bolt change to the correct torque of 80nm and half turn. These stretch bolts snap if reused, crank wobbles and then your valves hit the pistons and the crank chips. Had 2 in just this months with this problem.
