Time to move on...
« on: 15 December 2010, 13:24 »
As you may have seen i have posted quite regularly in the past few weeks about my MK4 Golf - asking for advice to fix certain things, however - wanting to modify in the future meant spending about £1000... until my insurance renewal came through, it was then a case either keep the car and not modify, or look around for cheaper insurance quotes, which i did. However these were more expensive than my renewal quote - so i made the bold decision to sell my beloved silver 2001 MK4 Gti 20vt. I think i got a good price of £2250 considering the body work wasnt in the best condition, and the fact it had 99k on the clock. I was very sad to see the car go, and definately enjoyed the ownership. It's now time to save up for a new car - or maybe at the right price another MK4   :smiley:

I would like to thank you all for your help and answers to questions i have had - it has been of great use! you will still see me posting on the forum occasionally and maybe one day i will get myself another 20VT. I will miss the car very much. Also, if anyone is interested - i still have the Audi RS6 alloys from my Golf, so now these are up for grabs. They are about 6-10 months old, have very minor curbing on the edge of the rim - all tyres have good tread, probably about 4-5mm at a guess - maybe slightly less on the two off the front. pm me if you are interested in buying them - thought i would give you guys first refusal on the wheels before i advertise elsewhere.

Once again thanks for your time and help, will post in the general section to inform you when i have a new car what i have decided to go for, and if anyone has any ideas of something quick i could get for about 2250, your ideas would be appreciated as i have no idea what i want!!

Cheers guys, Simon

Good luck fella, if I was you I'd do an Autotrader search for your price range and area, gradually expanding distance and see if anything takes your fancy  :smiley:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
