marcusgrant Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nice car but how much that is a very fair price, this isnt some cat d write off here. start breaking down the cost of the mods and they probable add up to 7.5k lol. This car is absolutely spotless, you would be very very hard pushed to find a better example than this.GLWS alex x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 That's a very fair price imo! This is easily one of the best gti's around, it's had a lot of time, effort and money spent on it and for only a couple of thousand more than you can pick up a standard gti you can have this show winner.

fatttty Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I cant see it...?I was thinking about 4.5-5kIm on planet earth?I appreciate your point about modified cars, my price is open to offers / discussion. Im not expecting a quick sale, if there is someone out there who wants an immaculate GTI ready for show use then this is it, if not there are plenty of ruined GTI's coming up at £2.5K> and mid-range for about £4K> this is neither.Thanks for all the nice comments guys.I think I am going a little crazy, i threatened to sell last year and bottled it.As for a replacement, nothing is on the cards, I would really like to put some money back into my house (do the kitchen, doubleglazing boring stuff like that lol)Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRLUPO Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 PM'dI agree with you Jase I have never really got money back from mods on a car either. But this car is most definitely show standard and the mods are not average thus this car is no longer an average GTI. I think a car is worth what its able to fetch and I reckon this car could fetch this. Im a member on eastside VW and Colin (Bluloop) from there also on here managed to sell his without breaking for a lot more than a normal GTI.
