Is this of interest to anyone?? PICS UP.
I work for a dealer and at present we are getting alot of trash coming through the doors by way of this scrapage scheme.
However I have just had a gentleman with a W plate 1983 MKI 1.3 LS 103,000 miler come in. The car has been in the same family from new with his father owning it and then his daughter and now him. It is a 5dr, has the chrome bumpers, chrome window trim, chrome door trim, beige checkered interior, original wheels that are immaculate and the car itself has not dents or scuffs not even a scratch on it. It is a plastic bumper model and not the earlier metal bumper model it also has the larger rear lights so its not an early model. I found 2 tiny patches of rust one under a rear arch and one underneath it but no bigger than a 5p. The only part that isn't still original is the radio which he no longer has.
Guys and Girls what I need to know is what would this car be worth. It is pretty much in concourse condition with the drivers seat cushion sagging slightly and the engine needing the standard sprucing up.
I need help with this as otherwise it may well get scrapped.
Cheers Andy

Its not a case of me giving the guy a price for the car I came on here to see if someone (being MKI enthusiasts) might be interested in a car of this ilk.
Surely for the current owner, the question is "is anyone interested in buying it for >?2000"?

Paul the car has been in the guys family from new. He has a BMW coupe he uses at weekends etc and he uses the golf during the week. I'm pretty sure if a sensible offer was made he'd listen as he didn't really want to sell the car and certainly doesn't really want to see it scraped. I had a chat and told him there was no way he could scrap something in that condition. I value cars al day every day and this car is an extremely tidy example for any car especially one thats 27 years old.

Would the guy still get a 2k discount on another vehicle? If so then someone could be in for a bit of dealing.

As far as the world at large losing a rare car, its not particularly rare as such, although it is rare to find one in such good condition as the pics suggest. Unfortunately this doesn't help that much with value and there tends to be a "ceiling" on the prices of good condition non-GTI cars, which as stated is probably below ?2000. Its a recession, after all!

that looks mint!

It must be scrapped if it enters the scheme. I am guessing the requirement is a "certificate of destruction" issued by a scrappy/dismantler, therefore meaning it can never be reregistered for the road.
