Title: What's it worth?
Post by: HuwMk2 on 03 January 2007, 18:03
Hi all. I have a 1987 3 dr gti in red. Time for it to go so I ws wondering if you could give me an idea on price. It will have new mot, 6 months tax. The interior is excellent with no holes, 16v 'bottle top' alloys, lowered. Paint is fading a little. I was thinking about £700 ish?

give the black plastic the shoe polich treatment and it'll look 100 times more appealing.

You are right FBF, I prefer the heat gun method personally! I have two new bumpers for the car anyhow. Would you like to give her a respray if I did the prep work?

Give it a good polish and you can usually rub an extra couple of hundred quid into her.

Picture of the same car below.. only 2 days apart. Which one would you have brought?

I just did mine yesterday with the shoe polish, I used the liquid stuff in the bottle with the spongy applicator. Very pleased :cool:

I bought my mk2 a couple of month ago for £750, big bumper kit a bit of rust on the drivers door and a damaged plastic on the wheel arch so i would say £700 maybe about right with yours having the small bumper kit but im not an expert on the golf yet as ive only had my VW a little while hehe :smiley:
