Sign your car over to your dad and tell the bailiff that everything is rented or stolen! Were so alike, it must be romance  :laugh:

A 5er off £100 is not worth saving IMO, in the time it took you to write the haggling post, you could have earned it. It just makes my sh!t itch when I'm advertising something for a set price which states 'priced to sell' and people ring up and say ''what's the best you can do''. Either their lysdexic, or think I would like to give it away. I can't see why anyone else would think differently...... Not having a go at you mate as I have a liquid guage in the post now  :grin:    Tell ya what, I'll advertise it for you for £110 and in turn you can offer me £105 and you'll think you stole it......  :laugh:

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...

That's all the car is worth imo,i picked mine up two years ago 78000 miles,expensive fmic fitted and a few other goodies for £3K and most importantly hadn't been mapped.

Indeed, mine may have cost £5k two years ago for a T reg 1.8T.  However it had 24k on the clock, absolutely standard, almost every optional extra and had been serviced every year by VW, no expense spared :afro:

Mate, Im normally the worst haggler you'll meet but not from forum members that are tryin to help each other out. I dont enjoy payin over the odds for anything and I enjoy selling things at a loss even less! I love exploiting desperate people, gives me a great sense of wellbeing!  :grin:    I just thought the guage was already competitively priced, any cheaper and it would appear to be a scam! lol. As for the hourly wage, it was £14 but now almost half due to the offer of a paycut or no job at all. Things are bleak here pal. Gotta thank Lloyds for the generous overdraft though..........That'll learn em  :evil:   Well done with the 106, did the guy who bought it off you have a bit of downes in him????? Clearly never had a French car before or maybe he just hated himself and friends/family who would be travelling in it! Their so schmall and pokey!
