So as mentioned on matts s16 wiw thread, I've just been to have a look at a local gti6....
It's a 99 nile blue, he's asking £700 with 6 months tax and mot, but negotiable over the parts that need sorting (minus the tax it's £580)
134k, same owner for the last 5 years, he bought it on 109k and did cambelt and water pump then
Just struggling to think of what to offer him really so here's my findings
It needs a new rear beam ( I have one in my garage already, but didn't tell him ;-) )
It needs new rear pads and discs.. Urgently
Drivers side wing has a large dent from where a forklift nudged it
Could do with a service, one of the pas pipes are leaking
One of the driveshaft gaiters is wet on the gearbox end
Small rust Bubble under the rear window
Back box is rotten
Aircon doesn't work, pipes look corroded
Good bits :
Apart from the wing body work looks great, small scuff on the front bumper but hardly noticeable, no laquer peel or discolouration
Engine runs and drives mint, no tapping, runs upto temperature and stays there, pulls hard through the gears goes BWAAAAAA
decent tyres and nice condition cyclones
Completely standard
£700 sound reasonable for the sake of a new beam, rear brakes and a wing?
