Hi guy`s, what would be a fair price for a mk6 5 door gti on 59 plate ? black, winter pack 18 monza up grade wheels adaptive chassis no leather or sat nav MINT CONDITION owned from new 22,000 miles
part exchange dealer wants to give me 15.5K :sad:
-
Sounds a little low, some one I think on here was offered 17K recently. Find a different dealer.
-
What are going buy in the deal?
-
You'd get a better price by part exchanging it against something dearer that a dealer has a bit of money to play with.
As an example my car books at £16300 ish (09 GTI 5 Door, 12000 miles) and dealers are reluctant to offer £16k for it.
Que sera. :sad:

What you want to buy?
-
What they offer you on paper for yours doesn't matter a jot. It's the price to change that's important

My usual dealer offered me £18.5K for mine, spec as below [10 plate]; it is MINT and only done 6K miles, that was trade in against a new R costing around £38K. I might not be realistic, but would expect to get about £19750 in a private sale.
-
first offer was £15,500 against a new transporter kombi , second price yeaterday was £15750 against second hand shogun elegance (mrs wants bigger car for kids and dog) :embarassed:
and it looks like its going to be part ex for shogun, cheap car for somebody if you can raise the cash :tongue:

Why not buy her a cheap smoker to run around in and keep the GTI for best? I use a 14 year old SEAT as a daily driver so my GTI stays nice.

I wonder how many beans or peas my BW8 2010 GTI with 4,880 miles will be worth?

Depends what it's going in against Asker. You may get a healthy discount against a new car or you may get a 'stunning' offer against a car they can't or won't discount. It all depends on how much money a dealer has tied up in the deal or whether they need to shift something badly to trigger a bonus.
What it's worth on paper and what it goes for are two different things, and you've got to measure that against future probable depreciation on what you're buying next.
That's the financial side of it, the emotional side is very different; but still linked.

You can pick up an old Diesel estate for a few hundred quid, let the kids and dogs do as they please in that, and not worry about f**kwits in supermarket carparks.
Then still keep the mint GTI as a reason to live and breathe.
-
I'll start ripping the bits out end of 2012 before I flog it. I am p!ssed off with the Ed35. At least it's got ugly, sh!tty wheels.
-
The ED35 has got swollen glands at the front and funny sideskirts so it needs 19'' wheels to carry it off.
At least the ED wheels won't suffer corrosion like Shadows.
-
CBHs* seem to be the rage. The Rs got them too and so do the Bluemotions.
* CBH = Child bearing hips.
-
The R and Bluemotions carry it off far better. The ED35 just looks like it has had too many pies and developed a double chin.

I've just got rid of a Skoda estate after a year, using it for this very purpose.
Hassle stress free motoring when the dog and kids were in it or like you say, parking it at the local supermarket.
Also great for the winter for not risking the Golf.

im likeing what you guy`s are saying just looked at skoda estate can pick up a proper bargain :rolleyes:

I'm liking your user name. It's presently ten to five in the morning and all I can now think about is a plate of scrambled eggs on toast.
There's not a single egg in the house (and I'd be killed for waking everyone else up by cooking them anyway) so I'm going to have to make do with chocolate.

So what do we have coming to ferry small children and wildlife about? And well done for deciding to keep the GTI. After many months of looking at alternatives myself I still reckon the GTI/D is the best all rounder. Subject to bad dealers and Friday afternoon cars.
-
I also have a t5.1 kombi that is for sale which is why the whole saga started, fingers crossed I will be keeping that as well but could be forced to sell for the cash, then if that was so octavia estate will be the newest member to the family

I love scrambled eggs. Make them every morning.
How apt that your selling/buying saga kept faith with your forum name.
I mean this in the nicest possible way. :wink: :smiley:
