Title: MK6 GTI what's it worth?
Post by: ArthurRaffles on 08 July 2010, 09:38
Hello

I own a mk6 gti which, sadly,  I might need to sell (i'm buying a new house). Can anyone tell me what the market is like at the moment? Is there still strong demand for these at them moment or has supply caught up with demand? Does anyone know of any dealers who might be buyers? Also, what would it be worth? It's 2009, Tornado red, 18" Monzas, upgraded stereo (RCD 510), 16k miles, I could even throw in snow tyres and wheels. :-)

Sorry if this isn't the correct place for this type of question, i'm not trying to sell it here, just get the info.

Thanks

I'd say a private sale should be around the 22k -22.5k mark

Trade in you will probably be offered around 20k - 20.5k

lol it is, but that reply is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot to the original poster.

FYI to the OP there are several websits you can go on that will give you a valuation (for a decent one you will need to pay, Google them as I dont know them off the top of my head, Parkers? Which Car?). Also check Auto Trader for similar cars with the same spec and see how much they are going for to give you a rough idea. You will also need to price it depending on how desperate you are to sell it. When I got my MK5 I had my MK4 aswell for a good few months after as I wasnt desperate to sell, got what I asked for it despite many people offering me less.

Remember that is only for part exchange. The OP wants to just sell his car so a garage would offer less.

Webuyanycar prices your car as worth £15,155.  Provided it is in very good condition.
So a dealer would offer it for sale at £18,000 and accept £17,000 making £1,800 profit.

Keep the car.

I'd give you a fiver for yours but it only has a pensioners/council estate gearbox.  So would £2 be OK?

Sorry I did not realise it's a white 3 door.  White cars are unlucky and three doors no use.  Offer withdrawn.

Let me know when you are getting a new car (Mk7 on show next year at Frankfurt).  A few plumbers round here might be interested in your old white Mk6.

No mk7 for me, TTRS next. Don't think it would suit plumbers, what about ambulance drivers or docotors ?

How is that picking flys?
OP wants to sell his car not trade it in. The prices are different. Its hardly rocket science.

I don't mean to break this up but it would be nice if we could leave an argument in the topic it started. By all means debate with each other through pm and on the original topic but it's a bit unfair to the guy who is genuinely trying to find the price of his car.

To return to topic

Mate I had mine up for sale advertised at £20k

25k miles, Tornado Red, DSG, 17 inch, cruise control -that was it.

Had 5 people this week trying to buy it. But I had changed my mind and it was no longer for sale.

(Funny that... not a bite in the first week when I would have given it but as soon as I decided to keep it everyone phoned)

I think if you have less miles and a bit better spec then £21k plus is attainable. Give or take £500 if you want a quick sale/ better price but all in all you should safely get over £20k.

Oh and when I was considering trading it in every garage I went to was offering £18k (even VW garages) with the BMW garage offering £18,600. So unless you are really stuck don't trade in!

A dealer will only buy it off you for trade price or even less if anything

Hopefully I'll get more than £5 and a lolly, but you never know.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for responding.

If I do sell it, i'll post the details..

Of course you will and good luck with the sale. All I was doing was proving a point, that the retarded 'its only worth what someone is willing to pay' saying is actually full of sh!t.
