Title: what's it worth?
Post by: JENKO on May 28, 2019, 05:21:46 pm
Sadly I have come to the realistion that my GTi just isn't big enough anymore.....

I have no idea whats its worth, I have had it for 8 years and it has been the best car I have ever owned.... What do I replace it with? Why don't VW make a Gti estate???

Anyways idea on price would be most useful as don't fancy a part - ex price lol..
06 plate
114k miles
very well looked after , just had belts done.
shadow blue
koni fsd and eibach sportlines - excellent ride and not too low...
new discs, (brembo and tarox )
Ferrodo ds2500 pads
remapped to about 240bhp
induction ( can be removed)
has cosmetic parking dings but mechanically absolutely mint......
new goodyear asymetric f1's
sublte mods and its drives excellently... will be very sad to see her go....
 :sick:

It's worth what someone's willing to pay for it.
I've seen loads for around 3 - 4k.

I think they are quite pricey and have not seen used prices come down much yet..... can get an s4 avant for same £££...

S4 avant............good choice but be very very aware that like gti’s they will or rather most will have been ragged!
Service history ( esp regular oil changes)imho is a must and look for as many options as poss but if you have your heart set on a particular color don’t over rule a good car if it isn’t the color you have set your heart on. Good luck with your search though.......am an audi girl at heart but my little gti daily runner has a special place in my heart  :happy2:

My last car was an S4 B8 avant, but I’ll be getting an R estate next..when they start to come down to a reasonable price.

Nice one as an Rs estate is fab shame they have to use a microphone to emulate the proper v8 noise

You could buy one, and find a local garage to perform a conversion from your current car?

Know a few people have done that in to caddy vans, if you want an estate, go for it!
