Title: Original Mk3 Gti 8v 3 door 27k on clock!!!
Post by: h8cak on 14 February 2008, 00:08: Hi guys, As a third car i have a Mk3 Golf Gti 3 door 8valve. Previous to me it had 1 elderly lady owner from new.
The car had never seen a motorway and had only ever been used to go from her house to the local village.
I aquired it last year when the lady passed away as it was a friend of the family. It has always been garaged
and is now covered up behind my house. It is in great condition as you would expect and has only covered
27,000 miles with a full service history to prove this. I have a pile of mot,s and all the original documents from new.
It drives like new and im not joking.
Time has come to sell as i am getting married this year and i cant afford to keep it on the road along with my other cars.
My question is Whats it worth? and is anyone interested?
Prob best to txt or call me on 07799702114.
Cheers

Post by: Guy on 14 February 2008, 00:20: my initial valuation would be very minimal... say about Ã‚£50 - i'll take it off your hands if you like? :wink:

Post by: Len on 14 February 2008, 08:48: So its been SORN'd then and has it got a current MOT? If it does have MOT how long to go?
When was it last driven? Do you start it regularly?

Personally I wouldnt give you anything more than a normally driven K reg.

Post by: BobbyT on 14 February 2008, 08:56: i would say between Ã‚£1500 to Ã‚£2000 if its 'mint' but it would have to be mint! is the body work tip top as well as the engine? :smiley:

Post by: Mikester on 14 February 2008, 15:28: Its one of those problems, do you want a car that has been sitting around loads..... ANd not driven properly.

Maybe one with 80k on the clock would be a better buy.

Depends on the buyer. DONT EBAY IT.

Pistonheads and see how it fairs. Put it up for 2000, with offers welcome, see what happens.

Seriously though, I'd think Ã‚£2K would be about right, so long as it is as good as it sounds. :smiley:

Not worst...... but probably least favourable, as a red hatch back is a bit garry boy..... :/
