  • Am I expecting too much!!!!

    Guys been looking for a mk1 for some time now, don't want , well can't afford Mexico RS etc... Got a 5k budget and lots of cars about but all seem quite ropey, I know I won't get concours but surely a complete car that requires reasonable work is achievable for this price?????

    What can I expect to get for my budget ???

    Maybe the cars I've seen are better deals than I think.

    Your thoughts would help.

    Thanks Paul

    a log book lol,

    seriously 5k would, should see you get a base 2 door car requiring work to get a reasonably good car you would be looking at 10k plus

    cheers

            Haha opened myself right up there didn't i LOL. It was one of the many factors that influenced my decision to sell, it had just become too valuable and began to detract from my enjoyment. I had no influence on the market prices over the last five years

              A perfectly acceptable budget for a decent MK1, its just some peoples over inflated view that there car is worth more.
              Winters coming so a bargain is certainly out there, I'd look at 6,7,8K cars and try chipping them down, you can but try.

                    That's a decent budget for decent stock 1100 / 1300 . Just not that many about now so you're better off buying an unfinished project that's not got bodged welding . Original rust is even better than bodged welding .

                      People may think they are not worth the prices being banded around, but the bottom line is they are all still being snapped up.

                      These cars are clearly worth it or the market would not be there, fact !
