MK1's for sale in Austria.
The asking for the 1984 red 3dr Driver was € 1.250,-
The asking price for the 1980 green 3dr GL was € 950,-
For the red
1st Place 'Fathammer' with € 1.250,- and 50 points
2nd Place 'sweetmk1dub' with (GBP-) 1,100- or € 1.298,- and 25 points
3rd Place 'Ronnie85' with € 2.000,- and 10 points
For the green
1st Place 'Fathammer' with € 950,- and 50 points
2nd Place 'sweetmk1dub' with (GBP-) 900- or € 1.062,- and 25 points
3rd Place 'ant5' with € 1.350,- and 10 points
So well done to you all and thanks for taking part in the spirit of this little game!
Especially 'Fathammer' who was the first to make a guess and as he put it "Lets have a stab at this…" was bang on the money for both cars!
If we were to take an average of the prices put forward we have the following results:
For the red €2,480,-
For the green €1,970,-
Which I find really interesting but that's just me.
So the points will be winging there way to you shortly and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
Of course the Judges decision is final which is me but if I have made a Horlicks of it i'll sort it out.
I'll post up the next car shortly.

Keep up the good work, I have enjoyed keeping an eye on this topic and will continue to guess the price (probably without success) during the winter months.
Cheers, Britney.

Not bad prices at all! I was way over estimating and will take this into consideration over the coming weeks.

That's for that Britney, to be honest I wasn't to sure if the idea would work.
It seems to work, so I'll keep it going and when my points run out it will be just for the prestige.
There's one or two surprises coming up and the cars won't always be little gems. I still want that red one but… the bitter divorce, moving out (no thanks).
So far I've found another 12 Mk1's for sale and I have there Info already saved, so we're good for a while but as I've said before there's just no that many.
So let's see how you do when I post Car No.3

I've thought long and hard over my acceptance speach this morning and I'd like to thank a few people for making this award possible -
My wife and kids, who without their constant nagging and moaning about gracing my car with more attention, love and affection than I do them, I wouldn't have spent hours in the garage or with my head under the bonnet to enable me to come up with my winning guesses.
Mike (Golfcabrio) great idea, great game.
And finally all those in the SW/Bristol region for their ongoing support. Especially Pearcestu, Arf333 and Richyhill - Rich, I hope the gender alignment operation is a huge success, you deserve it sister !!
Looking forward to the next instalment of the game.

I can't believe I lucked out on my first attempt. I've just got to now make sure I don't do a Chesney Hawks (one hit wonder)

That's great!
I think from now on Members are going to be concentrating more on topping your acceptance speech than the prices and values of the cars!
But I have to tell you and everyone else that plays, I've got one or two real surprises up my sleeve.
I certainly wouldn't take what we've learnt here as a yard stick for pricing MK1's in Austria.
I might even look a little further a field to Hungary etc… because they do tend to advertise them here!
Again well done mate, hats off to you!

One small rule change though.
Please quote in Euros and not in Pounds as it saving messing around with conversions!

First registration: 02/1989
Mileage: 200.000 km

Fuel: Petrol
Color: Red, metallic
Category: Used
Body: Cabriolet / Roadster
Transmission: Manual, 5-speed

VW Golf 1 Cabrio.
Very unfortunately, many new parts but are the exhaust emissions too high, according to the workshop's Cat has gone (Catalytic Converter).
Hence an MOT failure.
So you know as much about this Mk1 as I do and you have a few more pictures this time round.
If you're not sure how to play or what the rules are, please go to the first page of the post and good luck!
Let's see who's going to be on the money with thing one?

I reckon as Golythegolf says, this guy loves his car, obviously money spent on it and he'll be looking for cash back - but the car is still a dog.
€ 2150
