Exactly my point Mate....you can tell by the pics that the owner could not give a fook about it. Not a sound investment IMO. If others think £800 for a thrashed and untidy motor is good then et them bid....after all a spit and polish will make it run well

How do you know your car aint been thrashed in its time tho..
 
i mean its a £8oo car, a bit of TLC would bring it to a decent standard then i bet it could easy be sold to somebody like you who thought it had been really well looked after..

the current owner obviously does not look after it like i or others may, but if he did what i said above then im sure you wouldnt be saying what you are..

just a thought for you all.. (their is worser cars on here, still stand by that

[kells]

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     

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. 

are you not listening to me dude

a sound buy for £8oo coz all this needs is a quick bit of TLC and it could be sold on to some loon like you who thinks a 16v annie is so rare and worth loads.. you could make a few hundered on it easy

you have a valid point personally if i had £800 i would buy redders interior but thats me

Kells....why don't you buy it then ??  I have a very good idea that mine has not been thrashed because I owned the car up until two and a half years ago. At the time I paid a bit for it as it was completely standard with service history and was looked after with loads of paperwork and run absolutely spot on. I sold it for good money and when I bought it back after the two and a half years the mileage had not gained too much and the guy I bought it from had not used it for a while. So that's how I know mine to be worthy. Other's on here apart from yourself can spot a decent car as well but as said if you wanted to waste your hard earned cash on the Anni in question then that is your business. If I was able to afford a 16v Anni then I would want one that had been looked after and not just treated like every other car on the road.
I am also not missing your point....you say that the 16v Anni is not a sought after car....what planet are you on ??  This is one of the most desired Mark 3's available and if asked on here 90% would buy one if the chance arose.

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.

Ha..Ha...  Thought people were worried about the mods which are easily reversible.  Get it now, looks like its been neglected somewhat.  Mines pampered I guess but hey, thats just me

Spot on..........posted whilst I was catching up.  1000 anni's made going by VW literature, 250 diesel's, 600 8valves and 150 16v's,  not rare enough for you?  Then try and get a 3 door without a sunroof!  Good hunting.

Spot on, 16v anni is desired as not many were made.


Edit: as above

So you owned yours from NEW to 2 and a half years ago 


as for them been so rare, i dont think they are as rare as folk say or think, where are the numbers on each car and i also keep seeing them for sale, they dont fetch much money either, infact no more than any other GTI, id rather have a regular gti and do what iv done with mine, we are all different, who gives a toss anyhow, its only £8oo, could easy make this look half decent and those like you would be loving it

id also wage a bet on it that 90% of folk on this forum would not buy a mk 3 annie 16v if given the chance
