theres one that did sell sold for around £10G with 30 odd thousand miles on it, which in my humble opinion is nearer the mark . could add another couple of grand for the mileage difference but that makes the op still 10G overpriced.there is quite a few for sale from throughout the spectrum, admittedly mostly with higher mileage but original condition not the modded ebay shitters from the owners clubs and other usual other outlets .
anyway this is boring now, time will tell if the op gets his asking price.

edit....I thought they were all 180bhp? the over priced op seller says his is only 150bhp?

Go register on a VW forum if you love it that much, once you've bought it

It's not me selling it is it, so I didn't price it, you are also boring me arguing

As for me buying it, I wouldn't pay £5k for it, mk4 golfs are shit

In my experience mk4 golfs are cracking cars. Look after loads at work, I've owned 2 and have friends with them. Great reliable cars

Mine went into limp mode 2 times yesterday lol had a mate scan the codes and it showed an overboost fault. The chocolate vw boost hose that clips into the erg valve had failed. They have rubbish little spring clips and the lug wears off shit design 70 quid for a new hose

I've driven, worked on and owned both. Don't like mk1 focus that much but really like the mk4 golfs. Personal preference I guess.

Im only talking in terms of driving, but all of the worlds motoring press rated the mk1 focus chassis over the mk4 golf, the mk4 golf was the worst golf ever.

But yes it's down to personal preference

I just done a check on my Mercedes A210 Evolution, apparently there was only 183 registered in this country with 149 left on the road so much rarer than a crappy golf. Ill knock a few miles of the clock and stick it up for sale for £30K
