As stated already by everyone else already it's a buyers market at the moment, especially when it comes to mk3's. I wouldn't touch it personally :undecided:

I'd say £500 would be what you'd expect to pay for a mk3 8v in really good nick.  I can't see that a cat C mk3 8v would be worth it any price due to the current prices of decent cars...

Its simply the fact its a trade seller. If you were buying private, you would probably pay half that!
