Title: Newbie - Whats this 16v GTi worth?
Post by: gt tdi on 30 October 2005, 15:40

Hi all,

A mate of mine just recently bought a royal blue 16v GTi (really MINT) and i've decided to follow suit. I don't know anything about Mk2's but i've seen one nearby and was wondering what you guys think its worth?

Details are:

1990 Mk2 16v GTi 5dr
Black
110K miles
Lots of service history
Jetta front-end conversion
15'' alloys
interior is MINT no rips

The car is in VERY GOOD condition with only two minor points. A small dent on wing and small bubble on boot.

What do you guys think its worth?

Any help appreciated. :smiley:

Proper 90 spec? big bumpers? since It's a 5 door, about £1k I guess.

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciate it.

Organisys, you mentioned 90' spec and big bumpers but i don't know what you mean. Can any one show me some pics of a 90 spec?

I've also got some more questions if you don't mind? :smiley:

Whats the bhp difference between 8v and 16v?
Are 16v worth more?
Are 5dr worth less than 3drs?

Cheers :smiley:

90 spec cars had a few things updated the most noticeable being the big bumpers.
Big bumpers have a colour coded plastic skirt incorporated into them underneath the grey plastic. The easiest way to tell if the car is a proper 1990 spec is the location of the hazard light switch. If it's on top of the steering column it's a 90 spec, if it's on the dash it's a pre-90 car.
16v=139bhp 8v=112bhp
A well maintained 16v will normally sell for more than an equivalent 8v.
3drs usually sell for a bit more as they seem to be more desirable.

Hope this helps
Toby

Big bumper.

Bhp difference, 8v is 114bhp, 16v is 139bhp.

16v are worth more.

3 door are worth more than 5.

Sorry slick but I have to disagree, 8v is 112bhp in the book.
