Mk1 - how much?

[nefarious]

I'm in the market for a MK1 gti (in a few months anyway). How much would one in a good usable condition cost? I've seen some advertised from a few hundred pounds through to three and four thousand. I'm looking for fairly standard, solid bodywork etc. What do you reckon?

i think you would have to look around the £1500 mark to find a clean and looked after one. just try and look for ones that have plenty of bills etc

1000-1500 you can get a great mk1, but you need to look out for the common fault area's - use this guide to help.

Thanks folks. Pretty much what I had in mid to be honest. Waiting to get back in the the VW fold. Used to have a mk1 Jetta back in the day. Ended up selling it for £50 when the water pump packed in and it sat in the garage for a year.
