A 'whats it worth' thread - lol
« on: July 06, 2015, 09:13:07 am »
Sorry folks, just gauging what you think I would get for the Golf as me and the missus have seen a dream house and I might have to sacrifice this... and my motorbike :( - anyway I have typed it as though I am selling, I know some of the things are obvious!!

VW Golf, DSG, Black 5-Door, 2005 – 55 Reg, 84.5k miles, FSH.

Spec –

•   Cloth Tartan GTi Seats (very good condition)
•   6 speed DSG Automatic with Steering Paddles
•   New Mats
•   Centre Arm Rest
•   Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
•   Multi-Function Steering Wheel
•   High-Line Display
•   VW RCD310 Stereo with updated CAN Gateway
•   Dual Climate control Climatic System
•   6cd Changer in Arm Rest
•   Cruise Control
•   New Driver and Passenger grab handles
•   Auto Lights and Wipers
•   Anti-Dazzle rear view mirror
•   17 inch Monza Original VW alloys wheels
•   4 x new Avon ZV5 Tyres
•   All brakes and pads have long life left

Benefits from –

•   Full Comprehensive Service history from the same dealer it was supplied
•   2 Owners from new (including myself)

•   DSG has been serviced twice, one being recent

•   Air Conditioning Compressor and High Pressure Valve, re-gassed - now nice and cold  :laugh:

Summary –

No creaks or rattles and everything works, body work is in good clean condition with the odd age related marks here and there, a couple of very tiny parking dings, nothing to detract from the car though.  Since doing all the work it runs like a dream and in traffic im returning around 30 mpg.  On a run getting closer to 38/40 - using Vpower.  Pulls very well (as it should) and is very smooth with the DSG box.

I'd say around £5,500, maybe £5,800 would be a good starting point..
