How much is my 1985 Golf Convertible worth?

I have a 1985 MkI Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet, which I have owned since 1999. I am considering selling it, but I'd like some idea of price. It's an automatic, nearly new MoT, new hood about three years ago, always garaged, regularly used for short journeys, and always roadworthy. Good seat covers, the rest pretty original. Potential for someone to turn into a classic.

It is quite difficult to provide a valuation for a car such as this, as the value is determined by what a buyer is prepared to pay for it, because much of the used car trade are only interested in newer vehicles.

We would suggest finding a similar model to yours for sale online to get some idea of its value. We found quite a few examples for sale for anything from £4000 up to £14,000 for a slightly younger model.
