it's what ebay's all about enit, bargain hunt! lol..

I found a mint A reg mk2 8v gti, 2 door in black, absolutely minter, no rust/dents/scratches anywhere and only mod was an exhaust back box and big-bumpers, only done 92k too but they'd advertised it in the car parts section and not cars, I spotted it with 2 hours to go in the auction with no bids, so i put in 300 and won it. Got her home and found stack of receipts and full service history stamped in the book upto 90k! Buzzin.. Wonder how much she's worth? :laugh:

Have to agree re bargins, in the past bought a 8v gti jetta on a G plate for £16 none runner but at the time was great for parts. paid £52 for a MK1 Golf GX silver 5dr no mot and been standing but 2 owners last for 22yrs and full history for its 52 thousand miles sold it to a mate and he is still driving it and the car is faultess . bargins are there to be had number of VW Golgs listed is quite high lol
bought loads cheap on buy it now too £100 for a monza blue 16v on an f 2 owners history but god was it rotten so only good for parts. £500 for a p plate highline with a naff gearbox, so many mk3 gti with a blown gearbox. most recent was a M plate taxed tested sold as a non runner for £200 charged the battery and was spot on.

Ive have my share of bargains but fraiser on here really kills it.  :cool:

Its all down to the croud your selling to and how you sell it to them imo.

I agree the ebay one is cheeky.

EDIT:

Maybe the guy/girl sold it to someone else and its now on ebay?

i picked up my 8v on ebay for £160 expecting it to be a right dog. it got me home 200 miles and has been a reliable daily since. it even survived its first track day. my mates were going nuts when i started ripping everything out of it, offering me 5 and 600 quid for it. its probably worth that but then i'd still have to find another!  theres still plenty of cheap cars out there at the minute. i think its due to there still being plenty of very good ones - it keeps the ok ones at ok money.  it will chage in the next few years though. i know its a different game but 10 years ago £1000 would have got you a very tidy split screen camper. there are way more in the country now and they are selling for up to 30k! rough ones are 5! scary.

I know its not vag, but when i sold my bmw cab, he gave me  afree ford probe 2.0 16v white 101k n reg on irish plates, he had come down from girvan a scottish coast to house sit and i kinda picked up on this on haggling he knocked me down, then tried to offer this car too in deal i said i didnt need it etc, had one inline (but didnt) anyway in end he gave me it as couldnt drive two back and got amount of cash wanted,
 it was luckey he saw the exact car he wanted in same town as me, i just took it round and he bought it my car, so ive been running it around for 2 months for free all i paid for is the tax so it sbeen usefull till found my golf, dunno if can post non vag stuff on here not that you want to see it, can put up ics if want. i thought it drove ok for free there got nice gearboxes and clutch and has flat handling good grip but the rides awful and the car is poorly built, it has got lots surface rust, curbed alloys a knocking wishbone bush, smells of cigarette smoke, it is a bit tatty but been reliable, unfortunaly the tyres are low on th e17's and think ones bucked as it wobbles wheel sometimes and cant go over 70 a shakes cars to bits, and tyres where balenced too

I got it on ebay for £500 or offer hopefully i can get a few £100 for it as its taxed and moted till oct, but as a wiper blade snapped of a scratched the screen i expect it will affect its value as will nee detching out a sin driver vision
