    Guys,

    I found a true beauty. A like new, all original, no wear, no rust silver drivers edition GTI VR6 that an old German couple had rarely used and stored in the winter. I am really excited to buy this ride, but struggle to put a price on it. The leather seats look new, no cracks or wear...

    How much would it be worth?

    Thanks for your help!
    Nic

    But in all seriousness, drivers editions didnt come in silver (or with leather seats). However, silver arrow is one of the best colors on a mark 3, it looks great.

    What is their asking price? Keep in mind that although the car is in very nice shape and has low mileage, it is still a 14 year old VW.

    Also keep in mind since its a 1998, its not a DE. All 98 GTIs had leftover DE options, like mine - silver arrow 98 GTI with all left over DE options. I mean I'd have to see pics to determine how clean it is but I'd pay a decent chunk if its as clean and low miles as you say! also like others are saying do they have an asking price?

    Ok ok! I guess I didn't know what I was talking about when it comes to drivers edition...

    Here are the only two pictures I have. There's a small dent on the front driver fender who is easily repaired. That is the only defect on the entire body.





    Let me know how much. She is for sale and I have an offer in, but don't know what's reasonable.

    $5500-5800 USD is a reasonable offer. I hope you do it

    Nothing will stop it from being an old car, rubber age/quality, regardless of kilometers covered.

    It's completely stock and I intend to keep it that way. It has more value to me stock given there isn't many.

    I saw that for sale (local to me) I would say try and knock a bit off but in the end that thing is amazing (from what I can tell) There's a small dent on the fender you can see in the picture but I'm sure someone could fix it.

    Do it, then keep it stock, or very close it stock
