Calm Chris Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Good car for a younger, looks nice and clean. Why vw ever allowed a 115 bhp GTi is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 'Car enthusiast' and '115bhp GTI' don't often get mentioned in the same post! Nice car, wrong engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Genuine reason for saying this - not a spoiler at all - is the price a misprint? Is it meant to say £2,495 instead of £3,495? Before I've posted this I've looked on Autotrader and the prices of almost identical and same model cars at dealers (independents) with warranties, 2002-2003, 70k to 90k on the clock, make me pretty sure this is a typo Ian? if not, mods feel free to delete this cos' it is not intended to spoil the listing. I'm just nigh on certain he's typed the wrong price in error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 It may seem steep, but it sounds like an exceptionally well looked after example. Cars that age are worth what someone is willing to pay, and there maybe someone out there willing to pay that little extra for a near concourse example (if it actually is) that they will continue to look after. If the price is correct, I don't blame him for taking a punt. There's no rule against offering a grand less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Marcus couldn't decide between an asking price of 3,250 or 3,500, but he really needs 3200 to put towards the S3, hence went with the higher 'ono'. His mate is fortunate enough that he can buy his next car without selling the S3 first, but Marcus needs to sell the Golf. He's already turned down offers of 2 - 2,500 from traders who have rang him. As mentioned above, yes, the 1.8 T is more desirable, but the condition and [relative] mileage of this one stand out above other GTis. I'm badgering him for a few more pics of the interior and seats. I've also suggested removing the tints as they may put people off, but the four sideglass ones can be removed pretty easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just spoke to him, new set of plates going on, front drop doorglass tints are coming off, rear tints to follow if buyer requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is it meant to say £2,495 instead of £3,495? I actually thought the 3 and 4 keys had stuck together. Good luck with the sale, doesn't matter what he "needs" for the S3, I fear he'll be hanging onto it for a fair while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no rule against offering a grand less... I was worried my post might come across as trying to say that, but I genuinely wasn't. I honestly thought it must be a typo. If it fetches anywhere close to that then well done him, because it'd tend to suggest that cars going for £2k on Autotrader through dealers are vastly underpriced. As I said above though, mods feel free to delete this because it wasn't meant to be a 'spoiler'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks for the comments, guys. Please don't hijack the thread - if you want to discuss the value of Mk4 GTIs with the 115bhp lump, please do it in the VW Chat area. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Reduced to 2999 ono. As mentioned, the front tints have been removed - I think these might put people off - and the rear tints could come off too if the buyer requests. Marcus wants to leave it in, but selling the stereo separately is another option, again this could be discussed with buyer. As per comments and feedback above, I agree the stereo and bigger alloys (and tints) of course do not add to the car what they cost new. Ive asked for some more interior pics including the seats as they are in really good condition. Contact Marcus on 07977866182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
