how much should my mk4 have cost me?

[raptorSE]

£2870 with a full tank is what i payed i thought that was good tbh

You might have got a warranty but most of the time the warranty's at worth the paper they are printed on.

Last June i Paid £3900 for mine

2000 w-reg, AGU, 84k, service history, 3 lady owners, standard apart from OZ 18" alloys. Bodywork was covered in brake dust but i soon sorted that.

The only reason i was happy to pay that was it was in Candy White which you dont see many of in a 3 door 1.8T variant.

when lol

Feb 2008 

lol funny guy 

I ain't joking, 5k in Feb 08 is still a lot for a '99 AGU.  Only had 24k on the clock though

Hi all,

Im starting to look at golf mk4 GTI prices and I was a bit surprised at some of the comments on how much this one was worth.  The 2nd post says £2k.  This is rather not what they are going for?  Worth and actually how much people are selling them seem different.  Obviously there are bargains about (albeit sparsely).  From what Ive seen they pretty much start at £3000 for a 100k golf gti.  Thats just looking on autotrader and pistonheads.  Maybe 4 door ones go a little cheaper and some 120k ones are £2500.  I think youd be lucky to get one much cheaper than £3k in the current market that hasnt done at least 90k.  Which is annoying, but if thats the going rate then no one should feel ripped off...

Mileage is nothing if it's serviced on the regular. Mine has done 126000 and has been serviced (oil) every 3000 miles and runs perfect. You can have mine for £3800 if you like spending money

Spot on - 140k on mine sounds like new 

Its all about the oil changes IMO

I paid just shy of 5k for mine 2 months ago with nearly a years MOT and a whole years tax.. 54k on the clock full VW service history to date.. cambelt 40k.. 5 door.. 1.8t.. mint condition..

It currently has nearly 57k on the clock and ive got it for sale for £4799 as they are still selling for this price on autotrader some of them more.. some people think its steep but they are still reaching this money for a good one !! 

Just my 10p's worth guys

That's what people have them up for, not necessarily what their selling for...... You can buy so many better cars for <£5000. I would never pay more than £2000. Mk 4's are probably the best car for >£2800. Over that there are m3s, S3's, older evo's, S4's etc. Good lick with the sale, if it goes for that, I'll rip some mug off

i no there are cheaper ones but most of them on autotrader have problems like interior not mint and has fag burns or has scratches etc when i was looking this one was best suited to me for my money.. maybe it will sell maybe it wont.. At the end of the day i no i could have afforded a evo or a skyline or many other faster cars BUT my insurance costs would only allow me to afford a car of this insurance group.. which i think is the case for other people otherwise everyone would drive a evo and they would sell in seconds no ?? there are bargains out there if you are willing to travel or be patient me no im an impulse buyer i literally saw the car fell in love and bought it and there are many many other people like me out there its a terrible disease lol
