Anyone got any thoughts on this MK3 on eBay?

I so want to get a GTi now and there are a couple close to me.

TIA!  :smiley:

Probably the best kind of mk3 to go for imho. It's got power without the weight of the VR, tuneable if you want to, it won't depreciate as much as a more common version and it's black. Everyone likes black!

If I didn't have my CC, I'd be looking for one just like that. If you get it for less than £1500 it's a bargain.

gosh... another 'rare' anni  :laugh:

actually it looks nice... looks as though they have had it done by an auto glym valeter so it might have been in a shocking state beforehand

the bird poop, alloy rot and the rust spot will be your bargaining tools

I would get that, and slam it, nice bbs rims, keep it fairly OE, as in a while to come, that will be a rare car. lol.

did someone say black 16v anniversary.... :drool:
oh and anniversary prices seem to be up at the moment....i nearly bought one (well a common 8v) early last year and there were several about for £1000!! The only way price wise seems to be up.....suppose they are getting more rare and I know of 4 more broken for spares this year!!

yep just bought my anni aswell m8,  :smiley:  go for it! i managed to haggle mine down to a grand, but mine does need a few bits doing to it. That one on ebay does look nice, the badges at the back are in the wrong places though, also when your viewing it make sure it says its the Anniversary model on the V5, and engine code is ABF, as there's so many copies out there claiming there anni's, just look at this guy, none of the anni features yet he still claims it an anni???

Doesnt suprise me mate, although it is slightly too high, £1900 maybe?? but as long as you look after it, i can only imagine it going up in value over the next few years  :evil:

You never know, just keep an eye on it on ebay, you might just get a bargain, i'm sure a lad on here bought one off ebay, not sure how much but last i looked at it it was 1200?

As others have said, it's a great car and extremely rare. It can only go up in value. I was looking for one for ages, but ended up with the highline. Definately would have preferred an anni 16v.

Looks nice and will go up in value but sort the boot badges.
