I'm getting £17k for my 3.5 year old mk6 but i haven't got a discount off the price of the mk7 apart from a few freebies!!

Are you just playing black cat that seem very generous 
They will lose about £2000

It sounds like your discount is tied up in the valuation of your mk6. That is some part exchange value for a 3.5 year old car!

Edit: In fact going by that price I would go so far as saying that you probably have one of the best deals on here

As Craig says i think any discount is tied up in the trade in, i'm under no illusions that it's a crazy price for them to offer and is the only reason i've been able to spec the mk7 so well, i know my current car is in pretty immaculate condition but even i wouldn't pay that for a 3.5 year old GTI!

When we did the deal i went on that Ford CAP site and it was £15900 so even then i was pleased with the valuation and tbh they're only screwing themselves with it taking so long!

WBAC quotes really seem to vary, depending on how popular the car you have is. Something like a diesel Golf 1.6 seems to attract much higher offers, probably as they know it will be easy to move on. Moving something on privately is probably more difficult. My car has a few little scuffs and is certainly not mint, although the interior still looks like new. A scuff on the bumper, couple of scrapes on an alloy... anyway, I have now accepted an offer of £750 above WBAC and it goes next week. Hope my GTI gets delivered faster than the 4 weeks that the Tracker still indicates!

Quick tip here Guys ,the Vat you pay is full vat on List price , and whatever % less on discounted price ,so with or
without P/Ex you pay less period on a discount , If you have a P/Ex and it shows on the order at Trade or dealer
SIV (stand In Value ) you are paying less . IE:  the discount , say £1500 , is the amount you would be payed on
your SIV to bring your P/Ex to market sounding money , but with no Vat on it .
