White GTI on eBay

Seems a nice example with easily rectified 'bad points'... The main issue for a car like this is price. It's still not going to be worth a huge amount is it? (Like mine

)

Without tax and declared SORN virtually unsellable I'd have thought.

Why do these people always wait till the tax runs out before trying to sell them? how do they expect you to get them home?

You could use tradeplates or just wing it!

Me too but as I now have 3 bx's all of which are in my mums driveway, If I buy another one I will be disowned!

Its a addiction I tell her but she diesnt believe me, says its I need help.

Oh my parents disowned me ages ago because of the state of the garage.

Only have one BX now, did have three a while back but its ok mainly because:

My dad is chuffed to have a BX 16v on the driveway!

One of them was the trusty estate, which he loved for its character and honesty. A mate was using it, and its now being stored in a barn with hay and a horse.

The other was my brief incounter with the Mk1. My dad used to have a 16TRS on an A reg, so it brought back memorys! Although his had a proper gearbox.

Because they`re like me and too bloody tight to waste a minute`s tax on a car they aren`t going to keep!
In fairness though if I have a taxed car for sale I`ll offer tax for surrender value or let the lising finsih a few days before the tax does. That works well too because highest bidder is more inclined to collect asap if it`s still taxed.
The GTi in question looks lovely in my opinion and I reckon it`s got to be worth £400.

It the same old story, looks like a nice car but the added hassles of having to tax it just to get it home puts me off.

Thats right Ian, I'm sure with tax this car would do fair money, but without

it also puts almost £100 on top of the price of car.

I love white GTi's too!

Is there any colour you don't like.

Ian_Fearn · Post by **Ian_Fearn** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:15 pm

Yes, TRITON GREEN or forrestry commission green as i like to call it. I hated the colour of my old hurricane from day one! (everybody else seems to like it though, i must be odd!!!)

Thats why i never bought OwenS's 14tge

Such a shame they never did the GTi in beige!!

ken newbold · Post by **ken newbold** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:21 pm

Thats odd, cos I really like the green ones. I've bid on loads of green hurricanes but never managed to get one, yet!

They did the 19GT in beige!

I remember the GT's (i was in single figures age wise when they were about!!)

Lovely cars but somehow the mk2 does it for me!!

Like i said, i think i'm the only green hater!!
