Not many mk3 16v's for sale
« on: 29 January 2013, 12:23 »
Can't help but notice the lack of 16v mark 3's for sale these days? theres like 2 or 3 on ebay at a time compared to VR6's and 8v's, does this mean they are getting rarer and therefore more desirable???

I had to call the AA the other day (flat battery  :lipsrsealed:) and when he opened the bonnet he said "woah, you don't see many of these about any more".

We have scrapped a few valvers

Kept the one alive that supplied the bits I needed for my own conversion tho as the car was just too good to

I think all mk3's are getting rare, GL, 8v, 16v and even Vr's are hard to find compared to the last couple years (I was trying to find a mk3 estate and there were 2 for sale in the uk on autotrader)


where are all the 8v's for very little ££ (I could do with breaking one myself!  :lipsrsealed:)

Not so much as getting rare but age is catching up with them, more are getting scrapped or being used as donor cars.

A few more years and mk4's will be the same.

This is good for when I sell the 16v. It'll be worth more than a bag of cashews.
