Help and advice required Please!

Hello

I am hoping you may be able to give me a little advice.

I have just visited a car I owned many years ago a 83/4 Golf GL auto with low mileage, I think its about 30k, its metalic Bronze with a cream interior and brown dash and trim, its up for sale once again

The car is in very very good condition apart from the bonnet needing a respay as it has a little rust bubble. The interior door trim near the glass is cracked both sides and the window winders which are brown are also cracked and broken.
 
The questions I have are

1. Can I get replacement brown trim and window winders, I have seen black but dont know where to get brown or if I can.
2. The car appears to be very expensive by comparison at almost 4Kis this realistic or expensive.

I know anything is only worth what anyone is prepared to pay, but I really dont have the money to throw away and lose a alot if I decide in a few months its not for me.

If it has 30K genuine miles, that's very very impressive!
When i was after my Mk1 i looked at many (and i mean alot!) and i saw a couple around 30-40k miles sell for up to £5500! However they did look if they had just rolled of the production line.
However due to the need of a resprayed bonnet and cracked interior, without seeing this car i would of guessed it would see from about £3000-3500!
£4000 does seem a bit steep as it still need works done, but again 30k miles is one of the lowest miles i've heard of!

I believe you could hunt down the bits you mentioned if you put the effort in. As there's always people breaking cars and selling random bits and bobs if you're patient about it.

Hope that helped!
