Needs a full rebuild really, and it's barely worth 2 grand in fully working condition with a fresh MOT which it doesn't have. As you've been told many times, mods and so called "180bhp" remaps mean f*ck all for value. Not trying to be harsh, trying to tell the truth. I'd break it myself, or a mate of mine who works on these for a living says he could probably give £800.
You forget how cheap stuff is up North I think....down here for a decent PD Golf you're looking well over £2k in good condition even as standard.
This one is one of the mods from the DubGen forum, he's made his mods aesthetically where mine are for power, but apart from that its pretty much the same, same age (almost), same miles, same optional extras....and with an asking price like that he's gotta be expecting £3.5k.

Even this one thats older, higher miles, tatty outside, undesirable 115 engine and with a blown headgasket is up for a grand lol!!

In good condition I would've expected ~£2.5k really, thats the average of what I was told its worth on various Dub forums, oh and I would've stuck an MOT on it, not really any reason it should fail, except a split cv boot i think, hardly a big job.
Looks like I will break it.....I've got plenty of time atm, its just finding space that will be the difficult part.
