Price suggestions please

[wycombe_gti]

Evening folks,

Interested in opinions on price I should be aiming to achieve for my car. Planning on selling up as we're moving closer to a train line so won't be needed. PistonHeads and AutoTrader seem to have some variations, so thought I'd see what you wizards thought.

- 2007 GTI, 5 dr manual
- Reflex silver
- Usual spec + sunroof, highline display, multi-function wheel
- 34K miles
- 2 owners
- Interior mint, exterior has a couple of stone chips and some parking "kerbing" to the 17" wheels
- Will have new MOT and have FVWSH

Thanks for any help you can offer. Will be a sad day but can't really justify it sitting on the drive.

In-between 10 to 11 I reckon bud

Would be happy with that if achievable.

i would say around 9500, i sold mine in november, same age as yours, full history and cambelt done, 50,000 miles but had leather recaros and xenons etc. got 10,500 for it

Come on now guys.

Resale values of the mk5 have taken a large drop over the last 18 months, but there are still a lot of dreamers out there.

Last week I saw an black 05 gti with leather seats and 42,000 miles go for £6400.

I would say 8k, maybe 8.5 if you get lucky and find someone looking for your combo of mfsw, sunroof and highline, which are the rarer options.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, standard Gti's have taken a huge knock on price and for10-11k you can pick up an Edition 30 these days.

Very true, you can pick up an ED30 for under 10K these days, seen them on auto trader for £9K, GTI, probably £1000 less, £8K I reckon if you want to sell.

Thanks guys. You can see why I asked - lots of opinion on this!

No way I plan on selling privately at £8K. Have been offered £8.5-£8.8k by garages and even webuyanycar.com, :-)

For private sale, I'd want more.

i sold in september a red 55 plate for 8550, had 49k full leathers ect ect

then bought a white 07 plate for 11300. but whites worth a lot more than any other colour really.

Thanks all.
Some slightly rubbish photos have now been taken, will place the ad shortly.

Clearly opinion differs on value - no great surprise I suppose.

We all know what its worth 

Bottom line is "It's worth what someone's prepared to pay for it!"
