Title: Sold the Golf
Post by: Eves on December 05, 2017, 09:54:11 pm
Sold my lovely laser blue GTI yesterday morning for £6200. £300 more than I paid 9 months ago which was pretty good.

Cheers Andy. Slightly newer, less miles and pretty much the same engine!

Not just yet but there’s always time. Although have ordered some exhaust tips like I had on the old MK5

Cheers mate. It’s a lovely drive and feels so different compared to the golf, more refined and more modern if that makes sense

I got a bargain here for £6300 the seller even left the private plate Haha. Seems the equivalent online would be closer to £8000

Nice one, Scirocco has the rear aluminium hubs from Pasasat/EOS which makes it more planted, it is a good toy. Congrats!  :driver:

That makes sense then. Feels a lot more planted. Cheers chaps.

Was surprised I made money on the Golf as their values are all over the place at the moment

That was a good price for the golf, how many miles had it done?

Hey mate. The Golf had covered 68k miles and I was the second owner from new. The colour probably helped as well

Sounds like a nice car, I couldn't find a decent laser when looking so had to settle with shadow blue.

It’s was a lovely colour and very rare being a 2007 plate. Hopefully the new owner joins up here
