Plans to sell my 1.9 205 GTI 65,000 miles

[Craigjames 1]

Hi everyone.

 

Hopefully I am in the right section here, apologies if I am not.

 

I am planning on selling my 1991 205 gti but have little knowledge on the worth of it.

 

Info.

1991

Grey

65000 miles

 

The car is need of restoration, I have owned the car for around 4 years but haven't touched it since buying it due to other commitments.

 

It has some history but not alot what so ever, the tax disc in the window leads me to believe it was last on the road In 2005.

 

Interior is in great condition, the engine has low miles, but the engine is not mounted in the car hardly any rust on the body work, there are some dents on the body work and it is in need of some new exterior trim and a new drivers side wing and has an auto bonnet in white.

 

So, I was hoping somebody could give me a rough estimate of how much it would be worth as I am buying a house with no where to keep it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Craig , I'm guessing as you haven't touched it the engine  was out when you bought  it which would suggest it needs an engine ? The fact its a non runner and the engine is out will deter a lot of buyers  plus its been offroad 13 years so its sounding like a proper resto project . Really if you want to sell it Ebay is the best place although you can get a lot of timewasters too.

Maybe its better than you suggest but without pics id say around £1000 as a starting price ,the engine being back in would make a difference to the interest you get id say .The last 1.9  I watched on Ebay sold for £640 which i though was too cheap, also had the engine out and interior out and had new sills fitted but it didn't look great in the pics !

Hi put it on ebay to get the best amount possible.  Good description and pics will go a long way . Or I could pop over and see it as you are just up the road chap

Thanks mate that's not bad advice, the engine is in the car but not plumbed in I think as far as can remember it's just sat on the mounts.

To be honest it does paint a bad picture but it's not all that bad....I think.

Yes I think your right mate, I'm going to get some pictures this weekend and post them up. Might be a case of spending a bit of money first before selling.
