Sorry a whats it worth thread,
« on: 22 February 2009, 16:27 »
Hi guys just wandered out of the mk 4 section to ask some advise, I have been asked by my mother inlaw to advertise on this site her mk 1 cab and to get an idea on the price,

The car is 1800 GTI Karman in White with navy electric hood
milage 32,940
G reg
she is the second owner
there is a Clifford microwave thatcham catogory 1 alarm.
The previous owner was an elderly lady, car was stored for eight years before she had it.


so any ideas what it's worth it's in immaculate condition apart from the alloys are a bit corroded  :smiley:

At least £2.5k or more with those miles.

2k ! Are you lot having a bubble ? :laugh:

If someone is after a low mileage cab (likes white) then I'd say nearer 3k (maybe even more) to be honest. If that was put up by a trader I reckon they'd have it up at 4 - 4.5k.

There's not many around like that these days so it's worth top money if it's as good as it's been described.

If I was after a cab and I bought that off you for 2k I will know I have robbed you.

intresting i thought it was worth closer the 3k mark myself as it's a genuine mint low mileage car  :smiley: going to take some photos on the weekend so i can post them on here/  :smiley:

I personally wouldn't put any price on it until I had seen the car itself. Having stored a cab myself for over a year, I know what can go wrong, whether its low mileage or not - no offence.
I'm assuming as you said Karmann that a big bumper kit is on it?
Be good to see pics.

No matter, it's worth 3k easy if it's as described, but it does depend on the body work, rust blah blah. I've seen scabby cabs go for 1 - 1.5k so no way is this only 2k whuch ever way you look at it.

Get some pics up, if it's as good as you say it is and you only want 2k for it I might be tempted ! :wink:
