What's it worth Golf gti mk3 with 30k miles?

[willowandmikey]

Wondering what a golf gti would be worth I've included the ad below.

1997 2.0 golf 5 door GTI covered 30778 miles from new,this is a 2 owner car with main dealer history last done at 28248 on 19/10/2012 ,6 months tax and 25th oct

Needs a cambelt but apparently no rust and in good condition as well as value is there anything I should look out for ?

Tricky one to set a price for. On one hand there are probably very few low mileage mk3 gtis around, let alone with ultra low mileage. On the flip side though, the mk3 gti was never really loved in the same way the mk1 and 2 were. The 16v was held in slightly higher regard, but the 8v was generally thought to be under-powered and not really worthy of the gti badge. If it is an 8v I wouldn't pay any more than £1500, a 16V would probably be a sound investment up to £2000. Mk3s are still firmly in banger price range at the mo, but I think within the next 4 or 5 years they will start to become a bit more popular.

My dad sold his wife's 96 'P' GTI last year. Immaculate in white, she'd owned it from new, full history etc. £1500.

I would agree with g40jon to garage it for a few more years and it could turn into a nice profit in the long run once mk3's are out of banger territory!

Despite being under powered the 16v are revvy bugas,
