Syncro value?

[Mart8V]

Dear Wise Ones,

I have been asked about the value of a 5 door 1.8 Syncro, and haven't really got a clue.  Pretty good nick, apparently, with 120k on the clock, but no history.  Owner has had it for years and claims mileage is genuine. 

Any ideas?  I think it is a 1990?

Cheers,
Martin

prob about 1200 quid i reckon especially as it has no history

Thanks.  Will be interested to have a look and check his description of "good nick"!  Need a few more details really, but might make a nice project for someone.....

Just to give you some idea I was watching a golf synchro on ebay that ended on sunday. I thought it might make an interesting project at some point down the line. I didn't bother bidding in the end but it only got up to £155!!! The reserve wasn't met and I would say it was worth more but it just gives you some idea of what people would be willing to pay.

i wouldnt pay anything over about £750 for it. the only reason it would command extra money is because its a syncro. yet you dont know any history of the syncro system - and they aint exactly cheap to fix!

yeah, go low. old cars do not make the money and a syncro is nothing different in that respect.

i'd go 500-750. the only value its got is the "rarity" value a golf enthusiast would pay, but its not in the same catergory as G60s etc.
