Prices - 2024

There was a thread on prices before but I can’t find it. Maybe it was the old forum. As I think we’d been tracking prices over the last 10 years or so.

Things got a bit bonkers a year or two back but recently I’ve seen what in the face of it seems like some real bargains, or at least sensible price points.

Low spec tidy Golf’s below £2k and GTIs between £2-3k again.

Has the bubble burst, or is it the case that these unrestored cars now need a decent amount of money spent.

There’s still £10-20k examples around.

And if someone has taken a £3k golf and put £10k+ or restoration cost into it giving you essentially a new 30 year old car, ready for the next 30 years then why not?

And yes it would be easy to spend £10k especially if paying others to do the work.

I estimate £5-8k on a parts only DIY restoration, not including a paint job.
