Summary

Volkswagen Golf 1993 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Volkswagen Golf 1993: VIN WVWZZZ19ZHW387937, model year 1993, mileage 108k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $2,800. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment.

Market position

Based on current data, 11 similar offers were found for the Volkswagen Golf 1993 (same model and year). Market prices range from $999 to $3,100 with a median of $1,700, and this offer is about 59% above the market estimate (this car's estimate ≈ $1,763). This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and possible bargaining.

Insight: The price is well above the market — only trim and condition can justify such a gap. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 2, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 2022-08-02. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. The plate was changed 1 time(s) — such changes can split the history into separate episodes.
