GFVs have taken a real kicking with Nov 14 price rise

Yes it is a bit annoying dealing with all the bell ends when selling privately. But worth it in the end. Lucky I have an old BMW to run around in while the VW is up for sale.
The two VW dealers i asked would not even give me any price , just said they are not buying at the moment. The Essex Audi dealer quoted under 20k for part ex immediately, which is the same as we buy any c$r ,  and with zero discount on the price of the S3 ! Thanks a bunch lol !!

I'm not sure how pissed off my dealer will be if I get it sold privately. I got a great deal on the new one, in the knowledge that they would have a far bigger margin in the p/x. Could they pull the plug on selling me the R if they weren't getting the p/x? I somehow doubt it as the car could get stolen or written off in the time between ordering the car and it being ready.

Jon-SST: I wonder how much geographical location comes into ease of selling a certain marque? Lots of VWs up here in the North East, harking back to a time when people didn't buy readily rusting renaults and Fiats, every other car between Teesside and Tyneside used to be a Volvo or VW 20 years ago. Go down to Essex and every other car used to be a Ford due to the proximity of the Dunton and Dagenham plants.

Every other car is a land rover of some kind round here lol . Plus about a million fiestas yes ! Very few VW which is one of the reasons i choose it.

You need to cast your net much further than that!!
