I've just got my 8v GTI as part ex on a 106 GTI that I had for sale for £1100. The Golf has a years test, 6 months tax and drives pretty well, high on the miles and a little bit tatty but a solid car. I got £850 and the Golf, so that's £250 for a car with a full MOT and £120 worth of tax, I can drive it for a year and then weigh it in and it won't owe me a penny!
