Viewed a 1999 1.8 T GTI 5 door in green today. Car was in very good condition with a full service history (not all main dealer), MOT until July 2008 and 1 month's tax. No major modifcations apart from an R-Line gearknob, Anniversary badges and 17" Santa Monica replica alloys which had been refurbished. The seller was prepared to throw in a new front splitter, new mudflaps front and rear, new V6 4 Motion rear splitter and new roof bars - all genuine VW parts.
He was asking £4000 for it but did say over the phone that he'd accept £3800. After inspection it was clear that the car needed 2 new front tyres and new front brake discs. Also, there was little life left in the rear tyres. He then said that the lowest he'd take was £3600.
I'm majorly confused. Had a look on Autotrader, Pistonheads and ebay and the 1.8 T GTI varies in price, from £3000 - £4500 for cars of the same age. How much should I pay for this bearing in mind the tyre, brake and tax situation? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

5 doors is worth less than a 3 door .... and discs wise u can get then for 50pound (brembo) from GSF ... and tyres it varies dependin on what u wanna spend, budget or performance tyres .... between 40-110 pound ... i would say for the yr and mileage near xmas time too 3k top ....

replied to your PM Huw. hadn't seen this thread before mind lol
as said get him to throw in the tax and perhaps push him a little more; you can sell the bits if you don't want them to recoup some money and pay for the tyres and discs; or put the new bits on and sell the originals.

Offered him £3300 and he said "That's far too low"
-
o well keep lookin m8 tere plenty about as crimbo is upon us too people need the money

Hi, sale agreed at £3700. Car plus new VW roof bars, new VW mudflaps all round, new VW 4 Motion rear splitter, new VW front splitter, R-line gearknob, R-line pedals and a set of mint 16" Montreal II alloys with good tyres. What do you think???
-
so he sorted you out some new tyres then??
did he throw in the tax too?
if he did then it sounds like a pretty good deal :smiley:

sounds like a deal tbh dont see why people dont tax the car imo gives it a better selling advantage :smug:
