New User going to buy mk4

[andy257]

Hi Guys

new to the scene but i like what i see. I am busy looking to buy a golf gti mk 4 in the next month or so. I am trying find one that is a 1.8 20V non turbo variety, however i know that they stopped making these around 1999? what price should i be paying for one of these. I have about ?7K - ?8K to spend, would that get me a decent one?

cheers guys

hi andy,

look out for richy or kniterider on here, that is the car they have. i think rich spent 7k on a very nice ink blue one, so you are in the right kind of price area to get a good one.

good luck with your search

My car is a 1.8 20v non turbo 1999 as pic show below .. i bought the car ?8700 with 14000 thou mile from VW Dealer. Very happy with it.

Can have mine for ?7200.

Its Jan 1999 1.8 non turbo.  original except for walnut veneer trim from 2002 Bora , VW 6 CD, and recently fitted by vw, boot spolier (?280).

full VWSH and 30K on the clock???

Jv's right... Got mine for ?7500 from VW in December '03 with 43000 on the clock.  Haggled em down from ?8000, and they chucked in a bonnet respray for good measure (had a few stone chips).

Rickardo's offer sounds a good deal!

Hope this helps.

Hi,

thanks for all the replys, looks like i am in the right price range.

Rickardo and D Owen thanks for your replys, i dont want to start exchanging numbers just yet mainly because the funds are not all there yet (next month or so). I would be happy to speak to you further on the matter when i have raised the dosh. If you are still selling i will definatly drop you a line.

thanks guys

Yeah, just looked on my anorak site, Autotrader,

You are looking at ?5500 to ?6500 to get an average miles (40 -50).  If you can get a 3 dr, these seem to be rarer than the 5dr.  But without winding anyone up look nicer in my opinion (no offence).

Stay clear of the 2.0litre if you can, just not worth it, woefully  underpowered.

I di notice you can get some 2000 registered 1.8 20v's.  These may have been late registered, but may have better equipment as end of lines. I dunno.  But newer would be better as will be better come resale, geeky thing but people will prefer to buy a 2000 over a 1999
