Mk3 GTI - future classic?
Discussion
So I've toyed in the past with the idea of buying a Mk1/ Mk2 GTI as a hobby car but they've got too expensive and hard to find for an un-abused example. I've now got the opportunity to buy one of the last Mk3 GTIs from a family friend and wondering whether it would be a good buy...
The car in question is 1998 R-reg and I *think* it's the 16v but can't remember for 100% sure. It's had one female owner since new and has always been serviced by VAG specialists. 100% standard with no modifications of any kind.
I guess my question is how much is it worth now if I was to buy, and is this likely to go up in the future if I look after it?

So turns out it is an 8v but it has the BBS Solitude alloys. 1998 R with 112k miles, and just the one owner from brand new. Fresh MOT also.
£500 - what do we think?
Its worth more than that in parts. As long as its not riddled with rot, do it. £500 - what do we think?
Having now done a bit of research it turns out these run out 1998 Mk3 GTI are South African built. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing!
