What's happening to the GTi's?

[r3k1355]

There's also a lot of people around who've got a bunch of money but don't know where to put it, it's much harder to put it into property now and there's no reason to leave it in the bank.
but the car market does shift around over time, some brands are a safe bet (Ford) while others are a more risky venture and need careful selection.

Here's a good example:

VW Golf Gti mk1 - safe bet, good strong value, plenty of demand
VW Golf Gti Mk2- safe bet, good value, less than the Mk1, but certain models pull big money
VW Golf Gti Mk3 - Totally f*cking worthless, some money in the VR6 but it's a f*cking hard sell
