Valley_Boy Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 looking on Autotrader Private sales similar spec to mine seem to be between £13k-£14K but not sure if these are selling and garages seem to be asking £15k. Im looking at Leon FR Tdi 170, Golf GT Sport 170 and A3 Sline, which seem to do 40mpg compared to mines 22mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Valuation for Part Ex and Private sale? if i try for private sale - whats best place Auto Trader? [/ QUOTE ] Part ex expect to be offered not much over £10K. Privately, you can advertise it for as much as you want, but expect to accept between £11k and £12k. Autotrader and eBay, with with a 99p start price and a reserve of about £200 less than what you're prepared to accept for it. Sad but true, but big engined cars are taking a bit of a hammering at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've just been offered a few quid short of £13k for mine in p/x for a Golf GT Sport 170ps diesel. Obviously that's not a true figure as there's some discount on the new car worked into the px value, so I reckon they offered me about £11.5-12k if you pick the bones out of the salesman's waffle and what he offered the GT at for a cash purchase with no p/x. I didn't think that was bad at all considering the lead-balloon-like depreciation that's certain to set in with cars like the R32 over the next month or so. (For reference, mines a '53 with full leather, new tyres, has done just 23,000 miles and is in 'as new' condition.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medway Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If you've had it for for four years and it's still only done 32k, do you really think you're going to see much financial benefit from a diesel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry52 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Mine has done 60k (53plate) and I don't give a toss what it's worth cos I'm keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatz Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just for the info I spoke to an indy dealer at the weekend, he told me how the prices of MK4 R32's was unfortunately falling through the floor. A 53 plate with 60k miles went for £6000 through the on-line trader.... he also eluded to the fact that the MK5 Gti is also taking a bashing at the moment with Glasses showing a month on month decrease of nearly £500... bloody Darling is ruining the market!!

Sugarj Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I've just sold my MKIV R32 (five door, reflex silver with 23,000 miles, FVWSH and no sat nav) for £12,750 privately. That said it was in mint condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
