Title: Another car - thoughts on price?
Post by: DanoGTI on 09 April 2009, 21:59
Not holding my breath, but I may have found (well, Wifey might have found ;) ) a suitable car.

Bit off the wall though -

55 plate Candy White 3dr GTI
DSG
Leather
SatNav
18" monza IIs
armrest
FSH

downside?

72,000 miles.

All for £11K.

My *initial* thoughts are that the price is too high for a car with this amount of miles. BUT then again, miles aren't as big an issue as they used to be (bought my Audi with 83K and it's driven like a new car for 3 years :) )

Comments?

Dan :)

nice spec and with that i think it's a fair price

depends if you want to part with £11k to get something different in spec, or £11k for something less in spec and mileage

Sounds ok and priced about right with the spec.

Slightly over priced if honest... The newer cars came with leather as standard so that sort of doesn't make the older cars with leather any more valuable now.
I would say £10k - £10.5k with that mileage and being white  :wink:

LOL - doesn't matter now. The dealer's got back to me. Someone's already bought it.

that has happened to me numerous of times

goes to show that the price was fair as it got snatched up.

i think it's hard to say on price, many enthusiasts like ourselves know a little more and alot of the quoted about prices which people are willing to pay is more on the lines of trade prices and not indy selling prices

That's the prob with a used purchase. When I found the wifey's ED30 I had the cash ready and jumped on it. I know if I thought about it it have gone. Good luck mate m

I'm not too choked - I'd only just contacted the dealer to inquire about if it was still available :grin:

When I found my car, it was priced high, since it was practically new.
I put an offer forward, which was accepted.
Left it for 2 weeks saying I was raising the money.
Then got back to him after two weeks (luckily the car hadnt sold) and said I couldnt manage the original deal, and needed the price lowered a bit more.
He had a moan, but still lowered further, thats when I bought it ;)

I believe the car had a few viewers, but I guess most people were looking for somet a little older, or with more miles, to get it cheaper.
