Old Timer
there is a few on ebay asking big money , but they have being on ebay for ages
i suppose its a bit like house prices , if they do go up its allright for those who have a MK1s & enjoy the rise but others lose out eg. mint mk1,mk2 escorts are well out of my price range now.
cheers

02 Clio DCIs are almost worth as much as 3 years ago when I traded mine in, knew I should have kept it, 3 years almost depreciation free motoring
1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet
The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

then you can enjoy free motoring
if you want to sell.
simple fact buy in the winter sell in the summer and you cannot go wrong.
And yes agree with the above i am for ever getting stopped and asked to sell.I tell them yes if they have got 5k and they soon shut up

Thought that when I was in a position to get another one and spend a bit more that it wouldn't be a problem!
I'm after a daily driver but there just isn't anything about in the south east. Hopefully something will turn up soon.
Can anybody suggest where to look?

if your after a golf gti there are plenty for sale at the minute.Pistonheads is a good place to look and edition38 and on here have seen 5 or 6 that are very very good for reasonable money.
what is reasonable money?
I was hoping to get something pretty original, clean and mechanicaly sound for around £2500.

a good usable car is going to be worth good money.I remember buying a s1 rs turbo mint condition low mileage for 5k sold it for 9k a year later and now there going for anything up to 20k i have seen on some sites
Any car that has such a big following will command good money rs is a prime example as i guess gti

looking now i'd say prices have gone up about 20% + inflation. purely based on what i saw when i was looking for mine in terms of condition, spec and price.

Classic car magazine price guide this month has marked up the values of GTI model.
There we go then. Of course there going to go up, there is a decreasing number on the road year on year. The Scrappage scheme has accelerated this over the last 12 months. I expect values to be about 25% higher than 2008 once the ecconomy recovers.

Now, who's going to take off the crystal lights, 17" alloys, bucket seats etc?!! Long live the standard form!!!

I guess you'd have to look in the more modified publications as CCW tend to deal with original versions/restored models.
