Would you replace the Clubby with something else of similar value?
If not and you won’t miss it then yes, why not cash in.
As Ceefeesh suggests, it would be well worth getting a few more quotes to get an idea if the price offered was a decent one. Private selling nearly new cars can be a pain and there’s the security risks involved but it’s likely that someone making a serious offer will be a trade buyer anyway.
If you can be bothered to take a load of photos somewhere like Motorway could yield results. It depends where you live though, certainly in my part of the world people I know who have tried this method had dealers wanting the vendor to deliver the car to a garage over an hour away as a minimum.
Going straight back to your local dealer would at least be hassle free.
The only other thing to bear in mind is if you decide to replace the GTI with something else the prices have gone up but if you time it right you can still get decent discounts via brokers such as DtD.
And if you do replace it with something similar you’d be paying £600 a year tax for it to sit idle as the prices haven’t so much crept up but leapt up.
At least if you do sell up it’ll be a few grand towards your heating bill this winter 😁
