prices
« on: 02 September 2006, 19:16 »
Ok - So I'm looking to net myself a Mk3 GTI 16v. My maxium I can afford to spend is £2200. I've been checking the book prices and it seems I should be able to get something in good condition without ott mileage. The reality it seems is different? If car is paticuarly low mileage and special I can see why, but a lot of them seem well over priced and nudging 130k mileage. The mileage is understandable, but not the prices. I had a mk1 around 10 years ago and this my first step into vw ownership since. I've been looking at a 16v Anniversary on 100k, books says 2k for a good one on 80k.  However, im sure the owner has a bigger price in mind. Mind you even boggo 16vs can be 3k, again way off book price.

I'm interested in what everyone thinks as current owners. Is it overpricing or can it be justified?
