FS: Winter wheels/Golf-shaped mobile road block

Since I finally got my arse in gear and got the personal plate off the
Golf and I also got all the issues known to me sorted out, it's
obviously time to put it up for sale. Especially as the replacement is
in the offing and due to be collected next weekend.

It's a silver 2000/W Mk IV Golf TDI SE Estate, 146k on the clock, MOTd
until Jan, Tax until July. It's the 90bhp TDI so while it's good on
fuel, you're not going R1-hunting in it.

E/W all around, working aircon (freshly regassed), central locking with
remote etc blah blah. 2 sets of wheels (one steel, one alloy). Service
history with plenty of receipts. Good nick overall, it has a couple of
scratches on the roof (presumably from loading and unloading a roof rack
- were there when I bought the car), the rear bumper cover looks like
it's had a respray but IIRC I HPId the car any nothing showed. Oh, and
the driver's side mirror cover is slightly lose, but the mirror and its
adjustments work fine.

It's just had the following done:

- Waterpump & timing belt with tensioners. The guy who changed the belt
and pump 10k ago must've used the cheapest piece of shit pump he could
find and that had started leaking a little. Had that sorted out before
it turned into a problem.
- Aircon regassed as above
- New front disks & pads

I'd probably give it an oil change within the next 2-3k but that's all I
can think of as a 'need' maintenance-wise.

Located in Ashford, Kent. UKRM/UKRCM price 1750.

 

146K!
More like 750.

Ah yes... you drive a Peugeot, don't you... which will almost
certainly be why you're amazed at how any car could be worth sensible
money at those miles.

Go forth and look on eBay at how much Mk4s of this ilk are fetching...

 

I know it's a strange concept but some of us actually do a little
research before putting a price on a vehicle .

 

Which is probably why you've worked out that the great british public will
fight to the death for a MKIV Golf TDI.
I don't care what car enthusiasts think or how good or bad the cars are, the
market says they're worth money, so that's the end of it.
I reckon you'll see that sort of money for it any day of the week.

People are skint and relevant or not in the grand scheme of things, the
thought of 50mpg turns peoples heads.

Just checked Autotrader, apart from one mega miles TDI and an SDI which is
untouchable if you're not insane, your car is bottom money for the spec, age
and miles.
