Title: selling Car to Volkswagen or other independent dealers
Post by: yosin88 on September 16, 2013, 03:18:29 pm: Hi

Does Volkswagen or any independent dealer buy your car? Just a straight sale, no part ex.

Wasn't to sure so dont know how to approach this with the dealers and look nuts.

If you have did this, what are your experience with this?

Thanks

Was this to VW or just an independent dealer?

Also If you dont mind me asking, did you get a fair price for it?

Just been in contact with lots of VW dealers. The mileage is too high and car is too old now for them to be interested :(
