Debating selling the GTI - not sure on value
« on: August 16, 2017, 12:50:18 pm »
I've had a year of great fun in my GTI but the new commute involves a dual carriageway crawl at 1mph... it's a total waste of the car so I am going to use public transport. Just not sure what the value is as I haven't looked at the market or anything since I bought it?

Car is totally standard except I bought and had professionally fitted an RCD330plus touchscreen unit with updated CANBUS.

Any ideas on value?

56 plate
5 door shadow blue, manual
Vienna leather (heated seats, electronic lumbar support)
67k mileage
FSH (VW and then the same indie garage ever since)
3 owners including me
4 x new Avon ZR7s (about 1k miles on them so far)
In for full service this week
9 months MOT remaining, passed without fault.
Pump and all associated bits done already.

Car is in 8/10 condition, it has a couple of v small 5p dinks, and some of the window switches have tipp-ex on them (previous owners kids!), and a scuff on one alloy.

Any ideas? I just want a fair price for it before I become a bus w"@!r :)

Around 4k I'd say

It sounds well looked after, and the mileage is on the low side for a 11 year old car. I would advertise it at 5k to start with and see how that goes you can always lower it, better to start high and get offers than sell it low and think you could have got more for it.

A little tip everyone wants to knock money off a car so price it slightly higher than what you want so there is bargaining room from the buyer, if they come and knock £200 or £300 off they think they've got a good deal and your happy because you got what you wanted.
