Hello Retro Rides.
I am hoping someone can give us some advice here.
My good friend came up to me and asked if I could give him an idea of price on his Golf.
He has wanted one for years and bought this one back in 2013, The car failed its mot on rust issues at Christmas time so he decided to take it off the road, plans were to VR6 it, a VR6 was bought, stripped and the mk2 was going to be submitted to the MOT with the VR6 and failure items fixed.
One thing has led to another and the MK2 now has to be sold. It is a complete running and driving car but not road legal.
Details on the vehicle
Mk2 Golf GTI 8V 3dr
09 February 1989
No MOT
No Tax
mileage is high I think, suspect 130,000+
Starts and runs
Was on the road up until Christmas time
My buddy replaced a few things, alternator, battery, think it had a few ignition parts replaced. Goes vey well for its age, quite surprising really. The paint has faded but may be salvageable.
He bought this from a work colleagues friend, he had owned the car for years, but sat it on the drive for a few years and he MOT had expired. My friend bought it and it went through its mot no problem at all. He has covered thousands of miles in it, all over the country with no problems at all. (apart from when the alternator failed on the M2 but that has been replaced with a brand new item).
Overall condition is fair, some fading to the paint, drivers bolster is a little worn but nothing major.
can anyone give us an idea on value please?
