Title: Anyone sold there MK6 recently, what price you getting? (Private+Dealer)
Post by: chris1h on 28 December 2015, 22:37
As the title says really... :whistle:

Had rough prices for mine valued by dealer and what I personally think. Obviously I know I would be looking for more from a private sale etc..

Anyone like to take a rough stab at it?



*car is immaculate 44k miles. :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

better selling it private as a dealer will offer 12-13k  :smiley:

I'd say around 13k?

I've just been offered 15.8K for my 2012 '12' ed35 with 37k miles which is £1k above cap valuation..

I got £13.5k Mcrae&dick ford dealers. GTI world offered £13k that was the diesel 12 plate that was 6 months ago. Prices for the MK6 seem to have shifted down and the early MK7s are looking around £18k at the dealers.

What the dealer offers will depend on how much margin they have in the car you are trading in against. It's the cost to change that matters, not the 'what they give you' price, unless you are asking them to buy it from you.

Agree with that. Salesman always try get away from this whenever I have mentioned it. They always just try go back to "what's your monthly budget?"

I sold my '62 plate 30k miles Mk6 GTI last September to a member on here - sold it for £15,500.  My original price would've been 15,900 but I took £400 off to account for it needing all 4 diamond cut wheels refurbing.  :embarrassed:

It was a 5 door Dsg with leather, Dynaudio, 19" Glendales, ACC, RCD510.  It didn't have any Nav or parking sensors.

I didn't actually get as far as advertising it.  I had 2 people interested, someone who came on the forum specifically looking for a mk6 and someone who was already a member. It went to the latter.

I guess I could have advertised it and probably got a bit more but the buyer was right, the timing was perfect (month before my R arrived) and didn't have to endure tyre kickers and time wasters - so went for it.  Add to that I got 12.5% (over £4,500) discount off my new R order via Drivethedeal, and my overall cost to change was very good.

I know.  The timing was fortuitous.  A lot can change in 5 months! 

It's still worth him giving private sale a shot. There are people out there that want good mk6's.

Might be worth trying this, which will give you the current CAP valuation for your car. It was on the Ford website (not sure if it still is). It enables you to put in your car's specific spec, and returns the current part exchange value. Be interested to know what value it comes up with for your car.
