What's happening to the GTi's?

[r3k1355]

Not far from where i live there's original 205 not gti just a standard 1.8d for £3,500 was 2,500 last year. he's had it for sale for years calls it Peggy he wants a purist to buy it. Hens the price he sed. http://www.colnecarcentre.co.uk/used-car...ancashire/

He's got his head stuffed up his arse if he actually thinks anyone will give that kinda money for it.

Those on ebay are speculators, they will happily leave it there for years until somebody bites.

True, but you've gotta pay to keep it continually advertised and pay to store it properly, both of which cost your business money.
With it not being a high-end mega profit car it's really quite foolish sitting on it for so long, the final profit will be jack-all.

If you watch the market long enough you'll see these businesses come and go, they either realise you need to turn over cars to make money and pay bills or they don't and go bust eventually.

I'm not saying the prices of 306's and nice GTi's isn't going up, but it's no-where near the £8K mark yet.

Someone sold a low mileage 106 gti the other week for 7k. Ive seen low mileage gti6 change hands for 6.5k recently and it was good but it wasn't as good as the ones currently for sale.
Im not saying your not right.. im just saying your wrong

Just because a couple of mugs get fleeced doesn't mean it's setting the trend in the market.
and was this the low mile GTI-6 you saw sell, it went for £7k ????

Unsurprisingly the winning bidder never showed up and it's back up for even more money.

This other 306 sold for £8.4k, you can guess how that sale went as well.
