How much for my car? Mk4 Gti T 99
« on: 24 March 2006, 12:31 »
Ive had my car for sale for a while now, i just cant shift it! As the ad says it's just not practicle for me anymore. Parkers says its worth £4500 easy, its by no means in poor condition, just mileage which on a vw engine isn't that bad.
What you think, am i being realistic to expect £4500?

I just bought a 99 2.0 gti with 56k for 4450 so i would say your about right considering mileage. How come the engine was recon? I wouldnt put it on ebay, autotrader would get a lot more notice for your price as there is a lot less risk and only 15.99 for two weeks coverage.

Quick look on Autotrader brought up at least 3 different 99 1.8Ts with 100k plus miles for about £3900 - 3999 so I think you should stick it on there mate.  You could ask 3,800 accept 3.500 and undercut them

I bought my 99S reg Turbo a month or so ago for £3950 off autotrader and that had 84k on the clock. I would of offered you £4k for your car if it was for sale when I bought mine :(

Good luck selling it, there are loads of these cars for sale as I watched out for weeks when I was buying mine. It doesn't help the car market is silly low right now :(

is that a crack in your frong grill or the front bumper on one of those pics? how was that caused. Doesnt look like a bad moter bu i think 4500 is askin too much. 3 and a half and you may sell it. a car of that age with a reconned engine etc would put me off it, unless the price was right.

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

Thats what im starting to think, the bumper was traffic jam bump. Its nothing, if the buyer was that bothered a new bumper would cost £50-£100 which i felt was reflected in the price.
£4500 is only the buy it now price i would prob accept £4000!
