New Members Say Hi! / Hello! / Current prices?
I’ve been lurking on the forum for a bit, and finally plucked up the courage to register and say hello!
Mine is probably a fairly typical story – my next-door neighbour had a MK2 GTi when I was kid, and I’ve loved them ever since, and so now in my mid-40s I was thinking I might finally be in a position to start looking for one.
…. Or so I thought!
I was really hoping to try for one of the very best examples, but since I last looked prices seem to have really moved up.
For example, this looks nice - 84K/1-owner - although the MOT history suggests it’s been off the road for some time and underbody corrosion has been a MOT advisory in the past, but I remember when £12k would have got you an absolute mint example.

I’ve also seen a couple up for the best part of £20k! So I guess my question is has everything really moved on with these cars price-wise, or are people just testing the water given what’s happening in some other parts of the classic car market?
Any thoughts much appreciated!
