Sold the Golf
« on: December 05, 2017, 09:54:11 pm »
Sold my lovely laser blue GTI yesterday morning for £6200. £300 more than I paid 9 months ago which was pretty good.





Pick up the new motor in the morning - A Scirocco 2 litre GT





Thanks for all the help and tips chaps. I’ll be sticking around just not with a Golf haha

Cheers Andy. Slightly newer, less miles and pretty much the same engine!

Not just yet but there’s always time. Although have ordered some exhaust tips like I had on the old MK5

Cheers mate. It’s a lovely drive and feels so different compared to the golf, more refined and more modern if that makes sense

I got a bargain here for £6300 the seller even left the private plate Haha. Seems the equivalent online would be closer to £8000

Nice one, Scirocco has the rear aluminium hubs from Pasasat/EOS which makes it more planted, it is a good toy. Congrats!  :driver:

That makes sense then. Feels a lot more planted. Cheers chaps.

Was surprised I made money on the Golf as their values are all over the place at the moment

That was a good price for the golf, how many miles had it done?

Hey mate. The Golf had covered 68k miles and I was the second owner from new. The colour probably helped as well

Sounds like a nice car, I couldn't find a decent laser when looking so had to settle with shadow blue.

It’s was a lovely colour and very rare being a 2007 plate. Hopefully the new owner joins up here
