right price in my opinion. You might wanna list all the extra's the car has if it has more then youve stated to justify your asking price.

Rare colour. Seems fair, I wouldn't take any less though.

A small detail, you have it described as "blue graphite" but it definitely looks like its "shadow blue" to me (I have a graphite blue myself).

I'd probably say its a nudge over priced as thats what I paid for a similar age/mileage with DSG from a main dealer 2 weeks ago. Plus they took my part ex and gave me a great finance rate - neither of which you can offer.

Though I am happy to see prices staying high for when I come to sell mine.....

Ultimately it depends how quick a sale you want? And how confident you are about its condition?

Tell callers to go view the cheaper cars, once they've seen their poor condition to then come view yours.

from what i can see this car was around 21k,met paint, 18" monzas,cruise and rcd500.new.3 years old your looking around 60% of original price- £12600 - £13000.may be a bit more if somebody wants that particular colour
