Just happened to see this on my FB. It looks like a new car! Too spendy for me, but...
Very nice. I had the same exact car.
That's nice. I don't remember seeing many MkIIs in silver.
That has got to be the cleanest mk2 i've ever seen! silver looks great too.
Silver was the rarest color of the 16v cars. Looks squeaky clean but pricey for a small bumper 1.8 car. The 2.0's have been bringing that for a bit.
I happened to drive by there today. It's sitting out in the front row of the lot. Looked just as good from the street as it does in the pics.
Hmmmm....maybe selling my 55,000 mile 1991 GTI two years ago was a mistake......
That's going to seem cheap in a few years. The early 16v mk2's have alot of cool early details that got ditched by vw and owners over the years.
So, the Porsche dealer is asking $18.9k but a simple googling of the 17 digit vin shows the car sold at BaT this past Feb for $21k
This makes it possible even more of a bargain.
Internet inflation calculator says that $8k in 1987 is $18.k today
Hemmings says, "...the 1987 GTI 16V costing $12,240, or $1,915 more than the eight-valve."
And the internet calculator says $12,240 = $29K today.
In reply to John Welsh :
No no ... you can't use BaT as a market value guide. BaT is I need to speed my trust fund or possibly laundry drug money value.
Not all the time tho. My corrado sold on BaT for far less than I expected. My friend sold his 993 C4S on BaT and the same thing happened, sold for far less than expected.
Sometimes BaT doesn't bring all the money in the world. Let's put it this way, I don't think either of us would've sold our cars in a private sale for what they sold for on BaT, we would've kept them...
Cars & Bids seems to be a bit better at maintaining the market price at the gavel. I bought my '08 Boxster S on there and we were both happy with the transaction. Check it out: https://carsandbids.com/
