Agree. Be prepared to walk away - also it is the end of the month so if you are able to sign today/tomorrow that might help as they will want to hit their sales targets for the month


Or if they have hit their sales targets, they won't be interested  :laugh:

Seriously though, over the last couple of months I went round countless garages, to ask about a trade in against various different new cars. More or less all of them wouldn't budge on either a discount or increasing the price of the trade in despite me telling them I was willing to do a deal there and then. Every garage I went to commented on how immaculate my car was and you could definitely see it was taken care of but they still wouldn't offer a better trade-in figure. I couldn't understand some of their attitudes, it was as if they weren't interested in selling a car.

Interesting, I have similar spec but slightly lower mileage, how long ago was that offer on p/x made?

Just thinking about when I want to do a deal on a mk7.

Is the guy who works for one of the dealers [Cheltenham??] still on here; he'd give you a steer I'd expect.

I would have ripped their arm off, there are at least 10 for sale well under 17k with low mileage 10 reg and 60 reg. They are for sale by traders aswell.
GTI manual PP, now sold  :-(

Do you think they will budge to £16000. If they do, they have a deal and i will be stripping car back to standard!

They offered me £15,000  px and about £1700 off the price of a new Golf R not so long ago, My car is 2009 3 dr with 13,000 miles on the clock.
Golfgti build quality is average at best.

I think you need to shop around a bit Kenny. :sad: i think you could probably do a little better tbh.

£15k seems a little low TBH.

Is it a new or used Golf R you're looking at Kenny?
