Been stalling a fair bit due to combination of not wanting to let it go and actually having the time to sell it privately so have actually declined sound offers (and with no regrets at that!).

Anyhoo...  :undecided:

So how did it go? Take long to sell? Much interest? Trouble free?

Took longer than needed Snoopy but that was due to my reluctance to let it go.

Lots of interest.  Lots of people from down south wanting to buy over the phone!

Knocked back a couple of 'on the asking price offers' along the way too because of my undecidedness.  It was straightforward to sell via AT though.

Only two actual viewings and it was gone. 

The first was a tyre kicking chancer suggesting that there was corrosion on the front wings, hence offering £1k below the asking price to cover the respray (3 dots were in fact where I had delicately used a VW touch up stick on minor stone chips nearly 3 years ago   :rolleyes:

The second viewer who offered the full asking price is now a very happy new owner.

Got 85% of what I originally paid for it back.  Not bad for near 3 years ownership and 20,000 miles covered during that time.

MK6 GTi is a great car and still looks no poor relation next to a MK7
