Hi gents, company car being order shortly so the GTI is going to have to go. Any ideas of price? I won't be taking the read LEDs off or removing the RNS initially but I'll see how it goes. Spec is below:
2009 -35k miles, FVWSH
Relex Silver
5-Door
DSG
Leather
Cruise Control
R Rear LED lights
Black R Mirror covers
RNS510 version C
18" Monzas
Reversing camera, front & rear sensors
I think it's worth about £12k, but opinions are appreciated.
-
Worth 12k all day :smiley:
-
If you decide to take the rear LEDs off let me know. :wink:
-
I would say at least 13k, we buy any car offered me 11500 for mine and I had more miles, then you could sell the extras separately
-
When you say "worth" do you mean what could you possibly get for it selling privately, or what is it's trade value? Mileage and I assume condition will help it, but it is still getting on for 5 years old. That has quite a bearing on true values. I'd see it being closer to £10k in reality.

This will be private sale.
£10k? I know I asked for opinions but I think that's far too low, there are MK5s going for that. The closest in spec and age to mine is going for £13,750. Realistically I reckon I'd get £11,500(ish)
Thanks all.

I'd try advertising for £13k and see how you get on.
-
In a private sale, I'd expect, even at a quick glance, a car of that type, mileage and spec to far exceed £12k.
There are many free sources to use as a yardstick as to how much your car might be worth.
Here's my tried and tested method and it usually is 'on the money' (has been in my experience anyway)...
Free Used car valuations for Trade, PX, Private and Retail can be had on the following websites:
Wisebuyers UK
What Car Used Car Valuations
Parkers Price Guide Used Valuations
Glass Used Car Valuations
What I do is get a valuation for private, PX and/ or retail price off each one and note the valuation down from each site. Total them and divide by 4 to get the avergae across the 4 valuation sites... Longwinded like me but accessible 24 hours per day, free and legal.
Remember, that's just a suggestion and it's only a guide!
Another free source is this Ford PX pricing link:
https://www.capconnect.co.uk/ConsumerValues/Ford.aspx?CH=PWRTZ
Also, if you sign into Autotrader and start the process off as if you are going to sell your car with them, the website, on receipt of your registration number, will suggest a price for you to advertise the car at, based on other vehicles for sale on AT.
Hope this assists someone...
Cheers

This is what I have done when selling a car. It gets your right on the money. Work this out then advertise your car at a couple of % more. When someone is buying a car they always have to haggle. So make sure they are 'twisting your arm, but since you like them you'll let it go' etc. etc. You get your price, customer gets a deal. Everyone is happy.

If you PM me the reg no Jim I'll get you the trade price, then just add about £1000 - £1500 for a realistic private sale if you're patient.

It would be interesting to know how far off the mark my £10k trade price estimate is.

Nice one, thanks Andy.

I think you're going to be close to the trade price mate.

This might surprise a few of you but even at trade price you're looking at £11k give or take on bottom book and nearer £13k at top book price.
Basically you're looking well in excess of £12k even if you sold it to a dealer if it's still mint.
These cars drop like a stone in early years of depreciation then really even out.
My mk6 is only (at book price) worth £300 less than when I traded it in October - the mk7 I replaced it with has probably dropped about £5k!!!! OUCH! I'm too scared to even look! :laugh: :grin:

Thanks Andy, as soon as I get a delivery date for my company car i'll list it and see how I get on.
Thanks all,

I bought my 10 plate a month ago, so I douby much has changed, I was looking at autotrader and every other possible sales avenue including auctions and so on. Over a period of 6 weeks I watched closely at all the movement.
I would for sure say you can get 13K, I saw many 2009's sell for approx 13-13.5K with similar spec to yours, none had rear LED's.
The only ones That were selling for 12K were ones with 100K+ miles with basic specs,
Some of the ones that sold for 13K came and went very quickly.
-
I would have said £13k.
-
What do you class as "basic spec"?

One with no factory options I would have thought.

2010MY 3 door manual. Carbon grey metallic, leather interior/ heated seats, rear privacy glass, factory "body kit" (rear roof spoiler, low front splitter and side skirts); and 18" Monza shadow alloys. Salesman said it had Bluetooth (single slot CD player) but no Bluetooth as far as I can work out.
I take it apart from the metallic paint, heated leather seats and Monza's, what I'm describing is standard spec on that model GTi?
Thanks
