How NOT to treat an Anni !!!!!

[jimmyb]

looks like its been used,what cars are there for in my eyes,u should see the state of my mk2,lol,but saying that i wouldnt dare ask more than 400 for it

Point being that the previous owner looks like he could not give a fook about it. If the bodywork looks shabby then the engine will have been neglected really. Anyone can make the car look mint with a good polish etc but you would think if anyone had a 16v Anni it would be looked after. I and plenty on here lavish our 8v GTI's and there are thousands of the buggers. If I had a 16v Anni it would be treated like another kid 

+1

thats exactly how i treat mine

[jimmyb]

yeh i do agree,i actually treat my cars how they have been treated,if its clean fsh etc i would keep it upto date and replace anything that needs replacing,but like when i get a run about like the mk2 i have atm with multi coloured door and boot,not a straight panel on it and so on,i just tend to think,sod it,lol im actually trying to blow it up atm lol

dont really see anyones point to be honest, £800 for a 16v anni with 11months mot and 6 months tax, lowered suspension, porsche twists and twin hellas??? seems like good money to me....

Don't think I need to say anymore 

You defo won't like mine then   Looks fairly standard barr the lights, grill and some bodywork needing done.  What else you not liking?

The thing for me Mate is that I have seen 15 year old Rover 214's better looked after !!!! A car like that should be looked after. For a start every piece of plastic trim on the car looks a different colour and faded. I only ever use boot polish which costs 89p and lasts about a year. And mine is no 16v Anni but looks better than this. I could see past the "mods" and get it back to standard but like I said earlier if the outside ain't ooked after then the engine will be the same and bodged.

Who really gives a f**k if its a annie or not (except for thsoe that dont have owt else to worry about), they are not really worth sh!t anyhow, they sell for same as any other gti, and the 16v ones are not as rare as made out plus the seats make me feel sick.

still stand by my commet that this dont look too bad, seen a lot worse cars owned by some members on here, as somebody else pointed out, for that price this is a serious bargain.. mine looked about as neglected as that when i got it and id wage a bet that mine is now one of the cleanest most original ones on here...yeah its took some work and dedication to get it to my standard but the moral is, TLC goes a long way

yeh with the extras its worth it in bits easy.i once had a mk2 of this nutter who crashed it and then smashed the headlights with a hammer cus he was pissed off about scraping the wings, i bought it and 2 new wings,primered um and took it for a mot,cost me £220 all in! it passed mot,was class had so much fun beating cars that look respectable,even coughed blue flames on gear change!,lol,i was its 16th lucky owner,it had so much water inside(summer 07 was wet!) but i didnt care,ps i never managed to blow it up,i scraped it cus i got a vr,wish i used it till its death now, no1 asked for that story but i thought i would tell it,lol

If it does not matter if it's an Anni then why would it be a good buy for £800. That sort of cash could easily buy a very clean GTI. The Anni is the Anni and anyone who does not own one will try to de value them but fact is that the 16v Anni does hold good money and are usually very well looked after. To rest my case the previous post states that the car has been thrashed and I could see this from a small picture on E.Bay. You can just tell by looking at it.
