Is it a 16V?

Just picked up an 8V last week. The smiles per £ quotient is extremely high!

After a bit of squinting i've worked out the reg is J108YWG, which according to *insert any online insurer here, using 'yes i already know the reg.* is a "VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI 8V".

So in short...its an 8v.

Nice late car in the best colour imo. I'd haggle at that price though.

Yep agree with that. Thinking more along the lines of £1250

that looks like its got its fair share of OAK GREEN TAX attached... ultra rare highly desirable colour - does that make it double in price hell no!

i would not consider a 1991 golf that is a 8v and 5 door with 180K on the clocks the most desirable model and have seen plenty for far less than that. Have you looked in the classifieds on here?

Eeeeerm, I recently sold a far nicer Schwarz black 3 door 16v for £1200 - that 8v is probably double a fair price.

DrG - exactly. I sold a 1991 8v 5dr with same spec, 130k in Red for £800 having bought it for £650 and that was 2 years ago.

I wasnt going to mention it as i have done in another thread only a couple of weeks ago on the values of MK2 Golfs but.....

i bought a 1991 oak green 3door 16v with 125k on it , full service history every MOT, has more options including electric sunroof, rear headrests, lowered suspension, just had head gasket an top end rebuild for £1000 reduced from £1500 and it was advertised on PistonHeads!!! My other golf 16v with a 2.0 16v engine and full leather cost me £1500 and thats the most ive spent on one and ive had 8.

There are some mk2s around that warrent nearly £2000, they are ALL 16vs or VR6/20VT conversions. Next someone will ask if £3500 for one with 100K on it from Volkswizard is great value to.
