The seven stages of a car's life: from new to classic
Pre-registered is a subdivision of brand new. Technically, these are used cars, because there’s a name – usually a company one – on their V5 registration documents, which gives the dealer an excuse to sell them cheaper. The dealers aren’t being generous, they’re just doing it to get a bonus from the manufacturer for registering a car, then using the rebate to cut the asking price. I found a 2021 Golf 1.0 TSI at a dealer showing just 50 miles, so it clearly hadn’t been anywhere.
Diesels aren’t popular any more, but obviously we can get amazing MPG from them. A 2011 1.2 TSI 5dr with 89,000 miles from RB Cars and Vans Limited for £3890 will get you into emissions-protected areas and achieve pretty decent economy, too.from the Mk5 era – a 2008 2.0 TFSI 3dr with a reasonable 70,000 miles – is £6295 from Valor Elite Cars. It has four previous owners, lovely red paintwork and an unmarked body.
Otherwise, there’s a bedrock of Mk4 bangers. With £350, choose between a privately sold 2002 1.6 S auto with a full service history or betting the farm on a 2003 VR5 with 10 adoring ex-owners and 137,000 miles.Where will these Golfs go next? The 1.6 auto will fade away, but surely the VR5 will go onto greater things? Potentially any Golf, interesting or not, is at the crossroads.
A grand more gets you a 2.0 Colour Concept hatchback, and the prices go up from there to beyond £3000, so there’s one to watch. Otherwise, it’s the VR6 and GTI; maybe they’re classics now? Certainly, the GTIs of the previous two generations have categorically become so.All of a sudden, the Banger crosses a threshold. A classic is now just a very old car, and the trick is to buy it before the prices start rising.
