was speaking with a stealers yesterday about chipperin' me motor in for a luvvvly candy white ed30 DSG, 1000 miles on an 08 plate! bit naughty really as i keep saying i might be sellin mine over the next year or so, (in favor of 2 new toys and yes will be a GTI) but thought its a buyers market at the mo so give it a shout! anywayz to cut a long story short i asked him how much he would give for mine on p/x? £12000 he says, i thought blooomin hell wasnt expectin it that low, thought maybe 14K. he said he could do a good cash deal on the ed30 i thought i bet you bloody could! jeeeeezzz! anyone had better than this by chance? am i being silly?

every car really hit bad,gti/ still doing ok compared to other brands etc. new shape m3's 35k now on trader (private sales) so how much are dealers offering them ? i guess about 30k.

It's only ever a buyer's market if you're not selling in order to buy. That applies to everything, not just cars.

You'll get more selling privately, but it's more hassle.

Just think yourself lucky you haven't got an Passat R36, my local dealers have a demo one (don't believe it's even registered) and they have already knocked over 6K of the original price and thats before any haggling

You're probably better of giving until after the new reg in March, if things pick up and people start buying again the demand for second hand may go up to and so will the prices. At the moment things are just to unstable and people are being very cautious.

id say trade for the white ed30 cookie. Take it while its there, especially  if shes the spec you want.

i know still thinking loads about it, dont want to be silly though and throw cash at it, might just be sensible for once and hold off, see if i can sell privately first!  arrrrrrghhh! i really dont know!!!

you will struggle to shift privately, see if they will meet you some sort of half way, get 13k for yours . They wont let you walk away without losing a possible deal. How much is the ed30 up for and what spec?? , give me a call if you wanna chat about it Dan, i promise i wont try and convince you!
