Whats my golf worth?

i hate usually reading these sort of threads, but im thinking of selling my golf and im not sure what it worth and need help!
Its a 1.8 gti convertable
Good bits,
new mohair roof (less than a year old)
Pipercross induction kit
chrome bumpers
coilovers
chrome grill
near mind Ronal Turbos
supersrint exhaust
audi Vdo gauages
janspeed power roar pipe thingy
crystal clear headlight
crystal clear red/clear read lights
and im sure theres a few other things i can't think of
the cars sone 75,000 miles but now for the bad bit as the car is a cat C repaired car befor i had it and i have no service history,  i was told it just had a small ding in the back and the reapairs look to a very high standered
i cant find any rust on the car and it is solid
heres a couple pics

Cat C will reduce your price by at least half, shame as it looks cool!!

If i was you id strip off the chrome and put the car back to stock and sell it.

As it stands id guess at around ?1000

Put back to stock id say around ?5-600

But then you might be lucky and get top dollar for it?

Just because its a Cat C it doesnt means its worthless, I've had a few cars that have been on the register and sold a few that have been too. It depends if its been repaired to a high standard, remember that your car is a C reg, if the accident happened within a last few years it could be nothing more than a cracked bumper and a small amount of paint. Alot of people wont be put off if its had a small bump as long as it was repaired correctly.

all being good with the floppy, i'd say that valuation seems a little harsh.

your not going soft on us are you Mr Wooders???
I agree does sound a little harsh i would have thought more like ?1500-1700 but thats a guess :dontknow

don't get me wrong, i'd not give tuppence for it.

In spring that will fetch as it is well over ?2,000  ………Bumpers and wheels are worth ?700 .

Was just gonna say that, cos of the CAT C it'll be worth more in bits unless you find someone who loves it..
I think its cool and you shouldnt sell..

what you gonna get if you do sell it tho???

Dont get me wrong, ithink its a sweet ride, and i wouldnt be that fussed about the cat C.

But my mate had a cat C flop top, in MINT condition on a B plate with almost full history and he couldnt sell it?? In the end he got ?700 for it, but took almost 6 months to sell. :dontknow:  Tho that was over a year ago so people might have changed there opinions of recorded cars since then??

If a car is on the hit list people will not pay top dollar because they know it was brought cheap from either the insurance or a scrappy.

Think it might just be floppy's..
Mine was up for sale for 4 months, not a sniff other than really low offers.. so i ended up breaking it for spares…

if you do strip it and sell the parts id be intrested in those wheels :wink:

we'd virtually have twins if ya got them…

 

Nice car mate!  8)  I would look past the cat c as long as it all looked ok after a closer inspection. There's lots o scrappers out there that ain't been bumped… I've been told i'd get ?1500ish for mine-1.3 Driver :dontknow: ..

Me likey very much cat c or no cat c i like what youve done to the car, similar to one in december 07 pvw mag, think it was from the states 8)

Good luke if you sell it mate

IMO

If you stuck that up for sale now, in feb, i reckon you would get ?1000- ?1500  at a push.

Stick it up for sale in summer april time maybe, i reckon you would push 2 k, if its as good as it looks in the pictures

looks really nice to me

cheers guys, i might keep it until summer time then, i dont really wanna sell it but i need something a little cheaper to run and i allready have two cars (vw camper)

said u cudnt find any rust, first thing id do is check under tht plastic trim.

with no history and it being registered as a cat C i wouldnt expect anymore than ?800 for it as a complete car. you are much better off splitting it.
if you sell it in the summer i still wouldnt expect any more than ?1200.
i bought my carbrio in July last year, it has FULL service history and is completely standard and in very good condition and I paid ?900 for it with a years MOT, so i really dont think ?2000 is realistic with all the personalised modifications and the fact is has a sketchy past.

insurance companies 'cat c' cars very easily these days, if the rear wing was damaged they would price a new one which would write it off there and then, a new bumper would probably be half the value of the car.
now is NOT agood time to be trying to sell a car id hang on a bit as i reckon were coming into a bit of a ressesion, i cant seem to be able to shift anything :cry:

if your confident of its mechanical condition offer an RAC/AA inspection it should sell with one of those in the summer.

p.s whats with the retro light up front??
