Title: How much?!
Post by: Greedy on 19 February 2008, 09:58
I'm planning selling my '96 N reg Golf GTi Colour Concept and was just wondering what u think its worth?! I've been looking on Autotrader and there are VR6's the same age as mine with ALOT more miles and there wanting £2,200 - £2,400. Mine is in very good condition for its age, has just turned 70k on the clock, the only mods are that its been lowered and has 17" Antera wheels and has a cd player with 2 subwoofers n 6x9s in the back. Oh....and did i mention, its a 16 valver. Thanks

They didnt in the UK, the only way it can be a 16v is if its just had a colour concept trim fitted or its an import

Possibly an Irish import...if not CC interior. But...surely a 16valver with a CC interior is better than a CC 8v?! haha

What does colour concept mean?

You got any pics? Also what colour is the car?

VR6's sell for more usually so no point comparing a 16v GTi to them I guess, imo you would get around £1300 for your car.

I dont think its a colour concept at all, plus i wouldnt pay more than 900 notes for that, it looks completly chaved beyond reconition and to me says its been treated badly and ragged, plus 2 subs...... just no. Your giving the buyer the wrong image totally!

Does it even have the side skirt rear door badges that say colour concept?

The 16v gti anniversary I just bought with 16" bbs split rims cost £1100, so yours, no more than the same

Saying it's in mint condition's a bit misleading, if the back two wheels are buckled. . . How did they get buckled?

what do the dashboard dials look like? black or white? 140mph or 160 mph?

does it have the colour concept emblems on rear door skirts?

Mint condition....except 4 the wheels. I dunno how they got buckled they guy at the tyre place told me when i got new tyres, it was the guy/girl b4 me that buckled them. I did have 17" Audi wheels 2 put on but they won't fit. Needed to get pcd adaptors. White dials...but the plastic trim shows "GTi". Whats the actual difference between a GTi and a Colour Concept?! Apart from the interior?

Emm...black i'm sure. Couldn't b certain without checking tho, lol.

They look grey in the pics thats all.. not much else to check by really

Well the difference between them would be that ones an actual colour concept (1 of a few hundred) and ones a replica (standard gti with a mishmash of cc bits) (1 of tens of thousands i guess)...

engines were the same i think... although only the 8v in uk.

Think they had white dials,
Theink they should have colour soncept on the side mouldings not gti,
Think they have colour concept inscribed into leather
If its a 16v, your speedo dials should go upto 160 mph not 140mph, and the revs to 6,900 not 6000 ish.
Think they had the 15" BBS solitudes from a vr6 highline...

Not sure what else

Possibly just a plain old 16v GTi then. Altho...it can't be 1 of thousands if there was only a few hundred colour concepts...unless the seats came from abroad. They do have the Colour Concept embossed on the seats...the rev limiter goes to 7k. The wheels aren't standard but came with the car whn i bought it.

youll get 1500 tops but probably more like 1000-1200 bieng realisitic

there are so many about its unbeleivable, unless you find someone who desperately wants yours people can afford to wait

I was offered 2k a month or 2 after i bought it. Didn't sell it tho cos i was madly in love with it. Honeymoon period n all that, lol. My previous car was an E reg Austin Mini :grin: so there was quite a big step up! If i'm being honest i was hoping 2 get £1600 for it...we'll just have 2 wait n see tho.
