Mk2 8v, 1 owner from new, FSH, Only 25,000 miles

Bloody hell that is so wrong..the seats are wrong wheels are wrong it's a young uns car and they don't do a thousand miles a year unless he just got given it by Nan ...

Oi! Less of the young un tar brushing

In my opinion it's worth what someone is willing to pay, i've had lots of interest on mine even though its not even for sale and lots asking me to let them know if i ever sell it before putting it up for sale. Not long back a 66k mile mint original atlas grey 8v one went for £6500 and i've seen a few with 45-52ish k miles on up for 8-10k and selling (for what end sum i do not know)

Damien has been right, in the way he's looked at this, i'm guessing assuming this car would be as mint as your own when you picked it up? And Ken, you've been right in the way you looked at it, assuming it hadnt been a loved for and cherished example and needs work? We're all on this forum for our love of the VW Golf, no need for disputes

Others also seem to be forgetting that not everyone wants a 'fast' car, therefore 8v/16v doesnt matter, and if thats what i personally wanted from a car i'd not be buying a mk2 golf at all!

Well put but do you think an old un would paint the wheels that colour???

[scott-o]

Not at all  many of us youngun's wouldnt either! To think i was getting stressed about the center colour on my wheels then someone goes and paints theirs that colour!

[damien.wrl]

I can see a g reg big bumper with pre 90 check seats but not really seen any big bumper with 14" teardrops as standard.... As for 1500 pounds for brakes and exhaust with some paintwork that's a bit steep IMO.

Be interesting to see how quickly the car re-appears and at what price.

Now why someone put it up for sale with those wheels on is another matter

Got to agree, will soon be back up for sale on Piston Heads at £8k :embarassed:

£4000 - RETAIL if it was super mint. I know of a g60 LHD syncro 3 door going for that sort of money and those are mega rare.

The estimated repair bill £1550 LMFAO! Parts are pennies! its the labour charge. Can do a cambelt with my eyes closed!

That's got to be worth getting you on tele again for

But you have to factor in labour costs, even if they are your own. Unless you are Messrs Brewer and China that is. When you're doing a job for yourself, you're not earning money from anyone else.

Is there not some website now that you can check old english mot's if you have reg and chassis number? Id be intrigued to see does the mileage match up

i smell a lemon, full vag service history but timing belt never changed?
