Receipts mean nothing if it's rotten.

Buy on body all the way.

Agreed. :) Tho when you find a bargain with no rot or rust it makes you a hell of a happy person :)

Damn, if the £40k spending only values the car at £2k, that's only a 20th.

I've spent about £2k on my car, so its only worth £100 then :cry: I guess I best start taking offers then, £110 anyone?

As already said, check out the shell/chassis/engine. £40k of receipts could attribute to a fairly large crash repair bill - it is technically worthless (unless the parts are still guaranteed).

So your taking a mk2 in px for your mk4? If so then i'd undervalue the mk2  :wink:

Ive noticed people being more nit picky when they viewed the mk2's. They were more interested in service history. When it comes to cars like these service is just a bonus in my books. Get the paint right then its worth alot more.

I'll give you £120 for your car Ben, better not be rusty though!
