Tyres fitted and balanced £200
Brake discs and pads £100
Tracking £15
MOT test fee £50-odd
Tax minimum £120
I'd say what you offered is perfectly reasonable. Bear in mind there's no history so you'd want the cambelt pump and tensioners done too, so add another £250-300. You'd be looking at near £800 to put it on the road and it sounds like the shell isn't immaculate with you mentioning scratches.
Walk away mate. I picked up my GTi three years ago, with 2 months MOT and 6 months tax, freshly rebuilt head and belt and pulleys all done with receipts to prove and with half a tank of fuel for £780. This guy sounds like a dreamer.
Worryingly though someone WILL buy it for the asking price, realise it's a money pit and neglect things a proper owner would do, like the cambelt.
