GTI_LU_PO Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi all,Going to be selling my GTI in coming months and wanted to pick your brains about how much I should be asking for?Basics (off the top of my head)2001 (Y) Silver GTI100kServiced every 8,000 miles (although no service history from 40k onwards as have done this myself and through family using VW schedule with oils/parts)Cambelt etc... done most recently at 92kGood condition of everything throughout and always well cared for - normal signs for age/milagePersonal plate bought with the car (L***UPO)2/3 previous owners.I LOVE the little car and its now just time for a change, owned the car for approaching 4 years and it has never missed a beat. I bought it with about 40k on the clock and 90% of the 60k I have put on it since has been crusing up and down the A12 on a 60-90mile round trip. It is rarely taken above 3.5k RPM as I just cruise to give me the best MPG return to and from work.The only notable bad point it that 2years or so ago some jealous fool keyed the o/s door about 8-10ins and then onto the o/s rear quarter about the same, this is about a fingernail deep and through only the laquer and and shallow layer of paint I believe - I didnt want to lose my no claims so just left and lived with it.Not sure exactly when up for sale just yet, will be in the next month or so I expect? - photos to follow when up for sale.Your thoughts are appreciated!!

GTI_LU_PO Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Yeah thats cool thanks, just after some opinions on what sort of sale price... The GTI is a difficult one to price i think because of numbers/rarity/desirability etc...?!Cheers!

sam bignell Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think you could get around £4600 due to the plate and few other bitsbut to ask that price you'll need the scatch sorted out buddy Don't price it on any suggests from what car etc - Lupo GTI always goes for more!
