I sold my daughter's very similar car (1.8Gti turbo, metallic green, air con & all the trimmings, same year, slightly lower mileage) for £3000 about 6 months ago.

Horrible car, the Mk4 Golf really was an over-rated piece of junk...

I can't help mate but if people find it annoying then they should stop reading the posts.

Carry-on Fella.

There's a difference between asking how much something is worth as Rayward has done - which is fine - and offering something for sale but then making people guess how much it's worth to the seller for them actually sell it - which is just a pain in the a*rse quite frankly

go onto autotrader's website - you can get the current value after filling in a couple of boxes.

... or depress yourself by seaching for compleed items in ebay - this shows what cars have actaully sold for not some parkers make believe price book that is not quite in touch with reality.

If it helps, the only place I had sensible responses (and a sale!) was on PistonHeads. Most other forums were a total waste of time, and got me junk "I can sell your car for you" spam.

It's a good place if your car's a bit special or out of the ordinary.
