Collectability is all about supply and demand. There are two things that determine collectability.

1. Rareness/availability.
2. Character/desirability.

The mk4 was more common than water and not hot enough to have been crashed to near extinction. So fails on the first count.

The mk4 gti was seen as capable but a bit of dissapointment when it came out and is a bit too bland to be ever truly desirable as a classic. OEM spec desirability is key for classics low milage alone will not suffice.

If you garage it, all you'll have is a mk4 thats wont be worth a whole lot and will never really been driven. So you might as well take it out and enjoy it.

Even at 10k miles, given the age I would expect pretty much every bush and bearing will need replacing

Bob's has done just over 40k i think and he is having to replacee a few bits.......

Low mileage doesn't mean its any good sadly  :sad:

Agree with Chris's points. If it was an Anni edition then you might have half a chance of making some money but the MK4 was extremely popular and is still a common sight on our roads today

163k and going strong as an Ox.

Give me high mileage with good history and been looked after over low mileage any day.

Trouble with low mileage is as soon as you give it some beans it starts failing.

95k. As said it's not the type/model to be sitting on.
