Help value my golf
Discussion
Hi,
I've just bought a new car so the golf will be going soon and I'd like to know how much to ask for it.
It's a J-reg 16v mk2 Golf GTi in white with PAS. It's got about 8 months mot and no tax. The paint is ok ish but there are a few points where it has bubbles notably the tail gate corner and the bottom from corner of the passenger door. It has numerous other points where if you don't polish it the rust spots come through. Sounds bad but it's no worse than any other car of this age. The interior is spotless except for a point on one bolster on the drivers seat where the cloth has worn through. I have recently repaired the inner wing where the bonnet hinge had come adrift and when I say repaired I don't mean with a new inner wing but welded in a bracket which secures the hinge. Mechanically it's pretty good with 167k miles. The idle can be a bit rough but then most are. It uses no oil at all. It does have a leak from the diff seals but I'm repairing that. I think that the gear selector bushes are a bit worn (again, aren't they all). It's got nice alloys (BBS), toyo proxy t1r tyres, a new clutch a year or so ago, a new exhaust a year or so ago and I put a new cambelt on with idler a year ago. It has a fsh and I'll service it before it goes as I already have the stuff.
I was think of about £700 but have no real idea what they're worth. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Likewise, I would say £800 - £1200 but obviously it is hard to say without seeing the car.
I paid £1600 for my MK2 valver earlier in the year, which by the sounds of it is in better condition than yours. However, if you spent a bit of time cleaning and tidying it up I could see it fetching a grand or so...
