CAR PRICES MK 1s

[DubSteve]

I have put my car for an amount that I think is good, hell insurance would give me more but whatever!

If you don't like it well don't say anything easy!

What do people think an original (no mods) rust free 3dr Mk1 is worth?

I was thinking around $3500 tops??

id pay over 5k for a mint OG mk1 2door and im not saying this to back anything i previously said, i paid 4k for my yellow 4door in OG shape, the previous owner paid 8k for it 6 months before! thats proof right there....

A car is always worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

hit the nail on the head!!!

you can put a mk1 up for sale for 9 or 10k.....will it sell???????


well, there maybe someone out there willing to pay that....it just may not happen over night.

we all want as much as we can when it comes to selling a car...i dont blame people for over pricing.

Me, i am still on uk prices....i wouldnt pay over 4k for a mk1...not matter how good they think it is...just not worth it IMO.

I've had 4 Mk 1s given to me for free. Kind of devalues them for me.

The last one even has an uncracked dashboard.

They're still a 30 year old car after all.

I think I actually prefer the well used cars to play with, I've never really held much desire for a low mileage, mint condition GTI. I can make a $500 GLS go faster and handle better for less investment.

Mind you if someone gave me a GTI............

I understand UK golfs are 2 a penny, but your in Oz now. So unless you import one or move back to the UK you have to pay what the market dictates.

With these being wanted by certain people, they are worth as people say 'what your willing to pay'

AT first I was a little shocked at the prices, but then considered what else can I buy for 4 K....Hmmmmm.

SO TBH I think now my opinion has changed a decent MK1 is worth a fair bit. GTI well anywhere between 6 and 8k. Thats not a lot of dollar for a car like that. I mean what you gonna buy instead, an old lancer or comoddore...

Not me mate...I would prefer to spend my money on a VW..

Each to their own I suppose.

Have a look on ebay if you want cheap. People on this site just won't part with cars for peanuts.

However with mk3's for $3.5K now the mk1 is for the enthusiast not a means to cheap transport imo

Personally, I think cars on an enthusiast's site are always going to be over priced compared to the general public market. I bought mine off here, and I probably paid more thant he car is worth, but I have the patience, tools and mates to get it all sorted out and on the road.

That said, Mk1's aren't exactly common cars over here. Other than the handful I see at the wreckers and the working ones at dubfest, I can recall seeing no more than 5 or so on the road in the last year (excluding cabbies).
