Damn thing looks all colours in every pic, never quite took a pic where it looks consistently the same colourAnnoying!
I like that. Really nice colour.

Cheers, quite rare too, ideally it needs some paintwork but it's a 135,000 mile car worth about £2500 so I dunno if I should bother. Shame as I wanna be a perfectionist but don't wanna throw money away when I could be saving up haha.

Is there a case containing £1k in gold in the boot or something?!

Someone decided to vandalise my car yesterday... 
As soon as I found where they'd hidden my keys they were promptly removed!

You think it's worth 1500 quid? lol...
Well you paid £2000 for it a year ago and have since put 13k miles on it, its hardly going to have appreciated by 500 quid is it
It's a 133k mile 11 year old Golf. It isnt worth £2500.

What am i missing here? That was far from the cheapest example, that one is nearly at the bottom of the page doing a quick search and is lower mileage and from a dealer? Towards £2000 for a very nice one maybe, but certainly not £2500!

Solid residuals for BMW
Scene tax for Hitlers cars
Simple foxy rule
Are you blind?
It wasn't me who said scene tax.
You drive a Saab, hate BMW's yet still you said scene tax because 'fox says so and loves bmws'.
Amazes me sometimes, it really does..

Huh? I dont hate BMWs and I said scene tax because that's what I think it is
.... I really wouldnt flatter yourself In seriousness I think the difference between solid residuals and scene tax is down to a few things. Other cars with solid residuals are at least in the same ballpark as equivalent competitors but certain cars (like the Golf) often get sold for prices well in excess of comparable cars
The cars with a scene tax also seem to crop up for a much wider range of prices. Look at the Golf I posted earlier, you could realistically pay half that for a similar car of a similar age - I think this is because things like an immaculate interior, rare options and special editions are much more desirable when there is a heavy scene following.
I actually quite like Golfs and VWs in general - I haven't yet owned one because it's hard to justify from a value for money point of view

Errr what? I made that comment in reference to what Shimmyhill said. I can assure I wasn't 'flattering' myself. Quite the opposite infact.
