Maybe a bit OT but iv'e noticed that ebay seems to be flooded with mk3's at the moment.I browse every day and there is always quite a few on there but in the past week or so that seems to have increased massively.
My only thoughts about "why" is maybe cost of fuel,insurance is putting people off so they are dropping them whilst they think they have a chance of selling them.
It's certainly a buyers market,cars with good history,rarer models etc are the only one's that seem to be selling and even then prices are down around 15 - 25% on last year.
For me though i just love the car so it's value does'nt come in to it.My car owes me very little and is probably worth more in parts but i would hate to be a seller of a MK3 at the moment
