They quoted £12,500 for my car ('08 DSG) 9 months ago.
Now they are offering £16,350.
Looks like our Mk5's are in demand.
-
They keep emailing me and the prices goes up £200 a month minimum - certainly are in demand!
-
Try wewillbuyyourcar.com - they used to give a higher figure that the other site, not sure if it's still the case

It's not just Mk5 that are going up. Mk4's are too, but so is everything else to it's all relative as what your going to buy will of gone up too...
-
It's all cars. There's a chronic shortage of used cars.
Rarer/more desirable are definately above the trend line, but it's true of all used at the mo.
-
Both VW and Audi have a big shortage of cars at the moment. They ceased production of models due to the economic down turn, but now things are picking up, they have limited stock of built cars to give to dealers and management to run as demos and so the cars those people are in now (which would be on forecourts around the country) can't be freed up. It also explains why certian models like the Scirocco and Golf GTi aren't avaliable from factory order until Feb 2010...
Bit of a forecasting problem by the Germans!!
All of this has a knock on effect as people can't trade out of there Mk4's, Mk5's etc as they have nothing to get into....
Used car prices have also gone up as new prices have done also due to the Euro / Pound exchange rate....
-
mine is up £400 since June.
-
mine was valued at £6,150! needless to say they wont be getting it!
-
£9350 on Wewillbuyyourcar for me and £8810 on Webuyancars so quite a big difference there, i reckon it would still get closer to £10k on the open market though so wouldnt use either!
-
After seeing this thread out of interest I got mine valued on there, £12950, but they can stuff off cos I aint sellin! :laugh:

Just imagine if you had a lease R32 offered for peanuts, and you turned it down?
Bitter and twisted would be just the start.

Thanks for valuing your car. Your valuation is £14,245* and webuyanycar.com would be delighted to buy your car straight away.
not if they wanted £18.5k with 30k on the clock and knew it had been hammered from cold every morning since the day it was born.
oh look trying to be smart has made you look stupid again. everyday is a schoolday at hogwurts i see :wink: :rolleyes:
-
mine was valued £2000 more at webuyanycar.com
:-)
-
Just done mine out of interest.
Currently at just over 11k miles, and was valued at £18,010.
I bought it in April this year at £18,750 - so not too bad I guess......
-
Agree about the values going up, I've been checking webuyanycar.com for a few months now and found the following values:
27/06/2009 - £14,550
21/08/2009 - £15,880
Up almost £1,500 in 2 months
-
In my opinion avoid like the plague. I had a 54 plate audi A3 TDI DSG. I got a price online for £8200 and took my car down to them. When i got there they ripped the car to bits (tiny scuff on alloy, mark on bumper etc) they even took a paint thickness gauge to it. Anyway 40mins later i was told they could only offer me £7000.

Not really. At least the Germans had some common sense to actually hit the big off switch on their production lines. This had two very clear advantages - it meant they kept their jobs in the longer term, and more importantly, they didn't continue to churn out cars which they couldn't sell - unlike the french, japs and koreans. By doing this, they have actually strengthend the value of their second hand values, and strengthed their overall brand value too. In a couple of years time, you wont even be able to give away a french/jap/korean shyte 2nd hand car.

Hi.
Looking at trading in my Mk5 for a Mk6 on order. Dealer trade in was 700 less than the price from we buy any car. A broker also added that they were actually ok, BUT you have to be very very honest regarding the car conditon and during the initial quote ensure you include every single little scratch etc as when they view the car, they will try to get the price down. After all they are a business and if you go to them odds on you're after a quick sale so they will use that (i.e we have cash waiting), but will want to get the best price possible in order to max their profit margin \ overheads etc.
If you think about a price similar to the trade in value then you've got a good estimate it seems.
I'm going to use them as a fall back option = private sale in Feb maybe (but a little worried about people coming over to the house \ test driving (i.e have they insurance for the car if it's crashed - prob not!), then it's a case of dealer vs webuyanycar and see who gives me the best price.
if it's only about a grand or so, will just go with the easy option.

Make sure you dont get webuyanycar mixed up with webuyanycars !! webuyanycar is the real deal of the telly advert
webuyanycars is a back street garage that scams a living off the name webuyanycar

The thread is over a year old so probably not relavent now??!! :wink:
