Didn't test drive it coz we didn't have the time but we've got one booked for tomorrow. Had a look round it and there's a scratch that's about 3 inches long quite deep on the rear left panel and a long scratch on the black bumper strip on the same side.

Questions:

1) What's it really worth
2) How much would it cost to repair the scratches
3) What generally needs doing at 77k ish miles? (cambelt, exhaust etc)
4) Are mk2 bonnets supposed to be waaaaayyyy heavier than mk1 1's? (it weighed a lot more than my sister's mk1)

Thanks

Wouldnt pay 3,000 for a 'x' reg tbh.

[jc1991]

We're going to try and knock the price down tomorrow, what's a reasonable price?

[GroomGTI]

[Lozza_vtr]

I brought my 51 plate for £2200 in August 2007.

[Aaron]

i paid 1k
2001.
88k
vtr

if it is a garage. most garages wont go down like 1k.
better off to buy off auto trader.

thats what i think anyway.

[jc1991]

Obviously its overpriced!so how much do you reckon to get scratches repaired?You could feel them with your nail!

[andywiddss1]

price is too high with the millage mate dont buy the first one u see its a buyers market this time of year every bodys skint look at a few more fella

[Aaron]

I Think Halfords Do Scratch repair. They Sand It Then Respray. but i wouldnt no how much.

[TU-Tuning]

1) 2.2k max, its unlikely theyll go that low though so keep looking mate. thats not a good price atall though
2)At a garage your talking prob 150 maybe a bit more for that
3)cambelt, wheel bearings and CV joints MAY be on the way out they tend to go about then, clutch possibly if a woman owned it
4) yeah theyre much heavier mate

[jc1991]

Thanks for all your help everyone,its kinda putting me off about the scratch and price!
I have found another one just further down the road than that one
What would you say this is really worth? ....

[Aaron]

Auto Trader is better place to buy from. cuz usually u can haggle price:)

[jc1991]

still overpriced by at least 500 quid imo

Was thinking that myself,was just waiting for someone else to say it to make sure lol!
Thanks,Jace

[Dez]

would say 2k personally

[TU-Tuning]

the VTR market is dead at the moment mate no ones really buying em. Use it to your advantage to get prices down

[stoney_182]

2nd option is still way overpriced
