My personal view is; A lot of enthusiasts are anti-auto so they can be hard to sell compared to a manual. Needs air con and leather ideally, although red is a good colour provided it has not faded. Not enough sold and condition varies widely (as expected on a 20 year old car) to fix a firm price. But I think the range is £1000 for a decent runner to £3500 for a minter. A fixer upper is sub £500. You see cars advertised for more, but they don't sell. There are a lot of (manual) show cars out there at the moment. Original examples with se

So, yesterday I bought a 3dr, non sunroof GTi. The shell is in very good condition but the engine was knackered. The plan now is to sort the shell then swap the engine & box over from my 5dr. You can see from the pictures that it's been proper chaved up but with less than 100,000 on the clock it really deserved rescuing & it will cost less to swap the motor on this than do the bodywork on the 5dr. Yesterday was a productive day though. All in all it's a really clean shell with just a small bit of patching up to do.

yeah was talking to a guy yesterday it's the water pump in engine bay that keeps running lol my bad
