Bought cash sold for cash, took a hit, but having just seen a well specced 2014 for £21.5k with 7k miles I let mine go.

So is this a sale to minimise further depreciation so you still have a decent lump sum to put towards the 400 or is it just a case of getting a bit bored of the GTI?

Combination of both really, I would have lost another £3k if I kept the car to next year.
