Personally think that's a little on the high side tbh. I've been looking at these cars as I need to change to a diesel as I'm moving out. I can get a good one for 7500.
In run of the mill cars, extras don't add value, only make it more desirable come sale time.
Hope this helps!
Ps. Fancy a edition 30 in px?
Hey, thanks for sharing your view.
Yes you can get a DPF 170 for that price, but that is my point, how do you define a "good one" ? I am not being picky, but the ones I see on the AutoTrader are not a patch on my car and yet they are asking £8900, there is even a base GT (No Xenons, no cruise, no dual zone climate) on there for over £9K
I would think a good one would also constitute a car that will
not need:
A new set of injectors (£3000 bill)
A cam belt change (£300)
New tyres (cost £600)
A new Air Con compressor (£800 from VW)
Ok a few of these are consumable types, e.g. wear and tear (Tyres and cam belt) but it surely adds to the value proposition?
When I bought this, I traveled a couple of hundred miles, and took 4 months to find the right car, because it had the spec I desperately wanted (e.g. The Xenons, Cruise, Leather and Charlestons
) I realize that options don't necessarily add value, but they all add up to more than the "run of the mill" cars available at the £7500 price bracket?
I even registered on "We buy any car" (and rip you off) to see what price they were offering and to be honest, I thought the £6500 was way too cruel an insult
PS, I love the ED 30
, but It is "ownership" once again which I am looking at moving away from.
