Hello - Request for advice for my 1988 Mk Gold GTi

August 04, 2025, 12:32:41 PM

Hi Everyone,

I contacted the club via Instagram and it was kindly suggested to me that I should join the forum as this would be the best place to ask for advice.

I'm hoping that I can get some advice regarding my mother-in-laws 1988 Mk2 Golf GTi. She has owned this car since new, but has not driven it since the pandemic. She kept it unused the last few years thinking that she would drive again (and a bit of emotion attachment no doubt), but has now finally decided that she will not drive again and wants to sell it .

I am hoping that I can get some advice from you guys as to the best place to sell the car and what I should ask for it and could expect to get for it.

Overview:

F registered
Mk 2 VW Golf GTi - 8v
5 doors
White exterior
Black/Grey interior
Condition - Original project car with all parts
Milage 97264
Located in North West Surrey

She bought it new in 1988 and has been its only owner and driver, it was used daily until March 2020. Since then it has been stationary at her home. The car has not been started or moved since 2023, the battery in now flat and I have not been able to start it.

Any advice would be appreciated

Kind regards

Tom
