Sold Golf GTi for sale £400 Roffle at £7 per ticket, 2 for £13, 4 for £25.

[spartacus]

So, in anticipation of selling out* of roffle tickets I took the Golf in to my local friendly garage to get the weeping crankshaft oil seal sorted...

He phoned me up, which is always going to be bad news in my book, and I wasn't wrong. Despite recently passing an MOT it seems that the plastic sill covers have done an admirable job of covering up some fairly severe corrosion. Added to that he's struggling to get the driveshafts out of the hubs and there's also a broken spring.

All of this means that;

A. It's not, in my opinion, worth roffling.

B. It's not worth me repairing it, I'm not about to pay him what it's likely to cost and although I have the capability, I just don't have the time at the moment.

As a result it's for sale.

To recap, it's got many new parts, outlined in my roffle thread, I can supply a set of standard springs and a set of lowering springs.

I would rather not have to do battle on eBay or Gumtree, so if anybody wants to give me £400 or thereabouts then hit me up with a message...pleeeease!

 

Quiet full stainless exhaust.

Quality lowering springs and dampers.

New thermostat.

Good, quality tyres all round.

Low mileage.

Kent cam.

New head lights.

New discs and pads within the last year or so.

Tow bar.

 

Bad bits.

Rust on Sills.

Oil leak.

Usual bits on a 21 year old car, car park dents, scratches etc.

 

 

[Bucketeer]

Top seller and a top car. Bucketeer Delivery Service could very well be available.

[Tamworthbay]

Well worth someone saving, looks very nice.

[spartacus]

Cheers guys. Yep, the bodywork up top isn't bad at all, considering the age. The sills could be 'MOT welded', eg neatness doesn't matter because of the plastic trims. It's a real shame as it does go well and is a good all round car. I reckon it'll have to go on eBay at the weekend though.

[Tamworthbay]

Shame there isn’t more love for them on here, they are great cars. My wife had one for a few years it was a cracking motor.

[fordperv]

If I didn't have as many projects I would of had this, whereabouts in the country are you (I'm looking on mobile version so can't see)

[spartacus]

Hi mate, I'm in Chesterfield. I could potentially deliver it if you're really interested, it's taxed, tested and I'm insured for any car.

[yes oui si]

This would roffled within a couple of days at that price. I'd be in for four randoms for £25...

[spartacus]

So, yes oui si is hot for this car, I think he was the top buyer in the previous roffle attempt! He's suggested above that it may be a more successful prospect at a lower price, so we'll give it a shot.

Please bear in mind it's a project and has faults, although it has been in daily use until very recently.

Don't be shy now...

[Cavcraft]

That is 100% the best colour they came in.

[bramz7]

I haven't had a VW yet, and I like this...for some reason. I'll take one random.

[yes oui si]

Four randoms for me

 

Come on you lot - it has a year's ticket and it'll sell for £400 if/when it fails the next one.

[Tickman]

A random for me please

[fordperv]

Mrs fp is going to get an insurance quote on this as I think it would be a good run about for her with the jobs done while im doing her escort, how bad is it under the sill covers?

[83C]

7, 37, 42 & 44 please!

[GeordieInExile]

That is 100% the best colour they came in.

I like the metallic green.

 

Not sure if I want this... My stepdad would love it as a runabout to get him to work I think, but he might not be entirely chuffed if I win him a car that will immediately need a load of welding doing.

[spartacus]

Look at it this way, if you won it for £7 he could drive it to the bridge and turn a profit, if he must.

[GeordieInExile]

One random, please.

 

A mate and I might also enjoy hooning around in this.

 

... Is it the 2.0 8 valve engine in this?

[yes oui si]

Fuggit - make mine 8 for £50

[spartacus]

2.0 8v, it has a mild Kent cam in it, it's not going to set the world on fire but it's a fun steer, it'd be good for track days. Obvs I would never condone getting up early and thrashing it mercilessly on your favourite stretch of A and B road Twisties...

[spartacus]

I would wish anybody taking part the best of luck but 'yes oui si' deserves to win just for his tenacity and willingness to gamble!

[Pillock]

I'm afraid I've got no space for a car, but yet another vote for these being underrated.

 

The 8v just trundles along and pulls well from low revs, and even driving mine like a bit of a prick I got 38-40mpg to work and back. They're comfy enough, ride OK and if you knacker it then they sold loads and most are on eBay as breaking. I think I paid £10 for two mint front seats and the same again for a bumper.

[Matty]

+1. Nice old fashioned noise plenty of torque and basically a nice car. Old enough now to feel interesting. Feels positively agricultural compared to me mark 4 but in a good way. Honest!

[Iamgroot]

I've not long joined, I don't need this car at all, I haven't got anywhere to park it, my Mrs would hate it, it's miles away.

 

So, can I have #38 if it's still roffling please?

[Ohdearme]

I think this got sold off somewhere but I may be misremembering.

[yes oui si]

I've not long joined, I don't need this car at all, I haven't got anywhere to park it, my Mrs would hate it, it's miles away.

I bought it, thinking about moving it on... Have put on nearly 3k in the last six(?) weeks.

[Iamgroot]

3k in six weeks, nice work! Thwarted my early attempt to get into the roffling though

[yes oui si]

I drive a lot.

It's averaging about 37mpg, regularly sits at 42-44mpg on a run.

[spartacus]

YOS, message me your address again please and I'll send that seal, I ended up accidentally deleting the text with it on and had forgotten all about it!

Good going on the mileage!
