I was offered £15k this weekend against a s3.

Mine is 3 years old this month with 21,500 miles

It may give you an idea

Yeah they recon 18500 with the spec mine is.

i was wondering whether you'd get a better price against the tig, suppose it all comes down to the actual cost to change figure

Possibly thinking if putting the golf in for a passat estate on a lease or PCP deal.

Also seen a Brand new crv for £230 a month with no deposit.

I would say that they would have more margin in a year old Passat due to the amount of ex fleet cars that are available to them, therefore more discount for you to negotiate.

Your car is worth what it's worth regardless of what you are trading it in for. They can manipulate the figures to show anything on the invoice, but as Wigit says, it's what it costs to change that matters.

As a humdrum do everything well without a fuss kind of car, I don't think I could have done much better than my Passat 140 DSG Sport Estate. It's very comfortable, quick enough for 95% of all situations (especially after a remap) very economical, returning well over 50mpg all day long and has a massive boot, which is something that lets SUV type cars down. Don't buy new tho' when you can get a year old one for £10k less than new price.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
