Valuation help

[stevie_p]

hey chaps thinking of selling the gti just wanted to get a rough idea of value.

spec is:

mk5 golf gti (56 plate)
Metallic Black
38000 mls
18" monzas
RNS 510 satnav
heated leather seats
xenons
Full Main dealer service history & just had major service plus cambelt & water pump changed.

had a quick luk around autotrader im guessing around £12k ??

sounds like edition 30 money that steve.
I'd say closer to 10k maybe.

Decent spec, but in the current market I think you'll be lucky to get £9K. I don't think the prices on Autotrader etc are a fair reflection of how much cars are actually going for at the moment.

11k..ish

No way 9k, Ive just bought one after 3 months of searching and test driving.

Its a good spec and up to date with work.

Good luck with the sale

I enquired about loads 2 months ago before buying mine, 90% of cars that were due/overdue the cambelt change had not had it done.

This plus if a service is due would account for about £500 so bear that in mind.

£10,000 sounds a fair price for that one IMO.

Forgive me for being negative, but I recently spent a period trying to sell mine, same age and mileage, FVWSH, cambelt done etc, and couldn't even shift it for £8.5K. The reality, as I think many people are finding out, is that these cars are going for nowhere near what they should be.

Current trade price for that car is £8500 average condition going up to £9720 for excellent condition.

Is a buyers market though...
