Considering a mk7
« on: 14 March 2015, 20:21 »
Hi
I'm considering moving to Mk7 GTI and have been offered a good part ex price for my Mk6.
The only thing is, it's an ex demonstrator. It's a 14 plate with 10000 miles on it.

Thanks
Chris

I would try and find a cancelled order personally. Then you know how it was treated.

As above. Average mileage for a year old, but if it's been ragged for most of those 10k?? I'd steer well clear (excuse the pun).

Does it have PP?

As a guide, a brand new one of that spec on Drivethedeal comes in at £2.5k more (financed) or £3.2k more (cash) than your price, that's with a 14% discount off list price.  Course it depends what 'good' px price you've been offered and your cost to change.  I personally wouldn't take an ex demo on a car of this type.

I can't help you with your Mk7 dilemma... but I'm looking to buy a Mk6 and yours looks like it's exactly what I'm after. And I'm sure i'd be willing to pay more than any px price you've been given  :wink:

It really depends on price and whether you place any value in getting the car immediately rather than a 3-6 month wait for a factory order.

As a rule of thumb for a demo with sub-3000 miles I'd expect to pay no more than the cost of a new one discounted through a broker, ideally cheaper still.
