Do you wish you had tidied it up put some bbs wheels on - Then asked more?  :undecided:

kuk sool, don't despare. The original add shows there are still reasonably priced GTI's out there! just look hard and be prepared to act quickly.  :smiley: Then budget a few 100 pounds to sort it out and bingo  :wink:

Definately agree with vaughn - Kuksool there are nuff bargains out there keep your wits about you and you will find something reasonably priced and if your fortunate enuff you could pick up something like this for peanuts, like i did the other day :wink:



Rallye front
Audioscape doorpods with mids tweeters crossovers etc.
Leccy sunroof
3 door black with power steering central locking etc
clifford concept with intelli start
momo millenium steering wheel with matching gear gater and gear knob/handbrake cover
alpine head unit

oh look what i found in the boot



Bodywork isnt the best but it will do. Look hard and you will find - let people know your into VWs - i have loads of calls regarding golfs as smotimes they come up trums like the one above.

re tidy it up add BBS, personally with out the history to back up the mileage and didnt have a wing bonnet and door as they were all dented or rusty as described in the correct colour. I thought it was worth about a grand.

just think the re ad is mispeading as makes out its original when its not as it will have had panels or the least paint so becomes a restored car all be it a nice looking one.

I wouldn't say he's being misleading as no-where does he make out that it's original car at all!? He even says that it has a reconditioned engine, i know your talking about panels but i wouldn't say it's mis-leading, unlike some ads that i've seen!

Youve def gotta be carefull buying missdescribed cars these days..I bought 2 off ebay that didnt even get me home let alone be reliable. Ebays a funny old game for cars and I dont think mere mortals should be allowed to  buy/sell without expert advice and this add shows..700 quid one minute, over 2 grand a month later...will he get it?? I doubt it but its up to the buyer to me meticulous and make sure he gets what hes paying for :huh:

Errrr because it has been totally restored bodywise and totally resprayed to a very high standard and has decent alloy wheels on which all in all cost a lot of money. It was a complete sh!tter, it is now a stunning car.


thats what the guy said, i asked i thouht i saw it on ebay a while ago for £700 as its same reg etc and asked why it was so expensive or something like that

To be fair, it looks worthier of the higher price than before  :rolleyes: If someone likes it enough, then they'll pay what they see fit  :smiley:
