Sooo. What do you guys rekon a good 16v is worth nowadays?

Not much to be honest, they are a long way from being considered a classic.

I've been looking for a donor but found more engines for sale than cars.

I keep watching vids of race spec abf's with itb's and the sound is more throaty than a vr6

True they are far from being a classic but prices are higher now than a year or two ago, I guess that follows from the period low low prices and people deciding not to repair them due to cost (rust is still the main killer!)

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".

Same as,  the dumb b!tch had the engine off whilst the fans,  heated rear screen,  radio and side lights were on.  Add this to it been - 8degrees. :angry:
Anyway when i went to meet the AA man at the car he was loving the fact it was a 16v and turned out to be a bit of a dubber himself.

I love my 16v.

My first car was a '96 mk3 1.4- I ragged it to much and killed it

I've then been used to comfort and luxury in two brand new Audi A4 avants

But I plan on keeping this car- it's a daily at the moment, paid for outright but when I'll get another newer car I think I'll just keep this for weekends :)

Oh yes, there are ABF engines for sale all over the place, but you struggle to find more than a handful of good complete cars on the internet.

Its because 16v owners are looking on the internet, seeing 8v's going for £500 and thinking this isn't worth repairing i'll break it and get a few bob for the ABF, but its clearly reducing numbers at a decent rate cus their are not many left!

or alternatively, people love their 16v's so much they are reluctant to sell???
