Title: Dealer offering me 20K for Edition 30. Can you do better?
Post by: goap on 29 June 2007, 11:52: Hi all,

My dealer is offering me around 20K to take back my Edition 30 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=58266.0). Still very low mileage.

Anyone on here stuck on the waiting list want to make me a better offer?

This is a stictly one week offer! i.e. needs to be sorted by next sunday (8th July)

Im shocked, thats for a "limited edition" GTi, so much for better resisiduals!, your best of going down the private route to get at least Ã‚£23500 imo

Exactly - selling any car that new is just asking for trouble. They're ripping your eyes out. Try another dealer if you must but a private sale is simply the best option.

Post by: Creepy Coupe on 29 June 2007, 16:47: A 6k hit in 3 months, that hurts. :shocked:

Post by: gooseuk on 29 June 2007, 17:44: Yes 6k loss in few months is just silly. Private sale ie ebay and admag.

Post by: Cass on 29 June 2007, 23:53: Bottom falling out of the Ed30 market - get a standard GTI instead - in black of course :grin: :grin: :grin:

You know it makes sense :smiley:

My job are moving me to the US for 3 years. I love the car, but it just doesn't make sense to keep it.

Post by: vanders on 30 June 2007, 12:31: Hi Goap,
Little comfort - but at Ã‚£26k, Ã‚£3872 was VAT which you are not going to get back - unless you can sell privately.

You've got my sympathy though as I lost Ã‚£7k getting rid of an RX8 after 6 months

Post by: goap on 01 July 2007, 23:38: Looks like I have a buyer for Ã‚£22K. Still a bit less than I was hoping for, but better than the dealer.

Thanks for all your sympathies. I'm going to miss that car. :cry:

Hope there is an Edition 35 when I come back...
