Sounds like he got a good deal!

Seriously, an 8v even in v good nick is still only worth about £600

thanks thought it was more than that for some reason  :huh:
The 16v is more powerful and is the mk3 of choice, get over to the mk3 section of the forum and get some pictures up and don't listen to the haters, the 8v is a perfectly capable GTi and no more prone to rust than many other cars of this age.

I like many Mk3 owners will stick up for the Mk3.. but come one at least make things believable, there is a line and you crossed it! :grin:

I had someone wanting to buy mine for £2000 without wheels.

there worth as much as people will pay.

I've cammed mine and raced my mates 16v. Nothing in it. Might of helped that I was in his slipstream but he didn't pull away  :wink:

115 bhp but like a gazillion ft/lbs of torque  :grin:. I just got my 8v on the road and after reading on here for the past year I expected it to be dog slow but its not to bad at all. Enough to have some fun in.

Indeed, also factoring in that yours has only done like 30,000 miles, its gonna be worth a tad more than one with 150k Mr Tweed.  :wink:
