That's the trouble with buying one with that low mileage! You'd have to get it with intended use as just for shows, meets and the odd summer/weekend drive, as it would be pointless getting as daily-driver, as like said the value would plummet and it would end up as just another mark 2 GTI. Have only seen really low mileage 8V mark2 GTI's Be nice to see some 16V's, but they would fetch even more pennies!

this will go for £4k+ easily it is at over £2k+ now with 8 days to go these cars are getting rare now and will only go up in price
i paid £2.5k for a mint bright blue one recently with 88k on the clock but i knew the car as i owned it 7.5 years ago and i think it is worth every penny, same as this one i would pay £4k+ for this if i hadn't got my one

i reckon this car wil be between five and six thousand pounds, its at two and half already, and its got to be worth it, low mileage proper mk2s are the best cars i have ever owned and driven and bearing in mind i sell cars for a living i have had a few cars!  seriously i would sooner have a mk2 than any other golf, even over a mitsi evo its just such an awesome machine if its a good un  :shocked: :smiley:

This really tempts me to sell up on my 46k 1.8 Driver - It's damn good condition, not a minter but getting some touch-ups to the paint to sort it out :)

Problem is, with it being a 1.8 Driver rather than a gti would there still be alot of interest? How much do people reckon I'd get?

Although it has a stainless system on at the moment, I have the original VW system sat in the garage :) It's also getting a weber stuck on by a VW specialist next week as I'm having some idling problems with the PB but I'll be keeping the PB stored and sell it with the car if I did.

I was going to say not much as its a driver but having seen the pics that's a really nice car!  :grin: I'm gonna go with £1500 to £2000...

For the ebay one I'd guess at 4.5k, if you're an investor you keep it ten years and sell it, if you've got some savings and you're yearning to live out a boyhood fantasy you buy it and drive it like it's 1992!

What landscape setting? hehe, it's an SLR :)


Really need to find some better shoot locations in Durham though! Although I do like my pretty sky/fields :D
