hello folks, just wondered what sort of money people have been getting for trade ins lately?
I got a price of £9900 for mine.
07 plate candy white ed30
6months MOT, 12 months tax
44,000 miles
full dealer service history, inc recent dsg service, timing belt, brake pads/disks replaced, fluid, air con service etc
no dents or scrapes. optional extras inc, ipod dock, tilt slide sunroof, msfw steering wheel, Xenon headlights, luxury pack 2, rcd500, vw amplifier soundpack etc, rear airbags, cruise control.I paid £15,550 private just over a year ago which was the going rate :stupid:
Thought I might have been offered a little more for it :stupid:
-
Bit late now to ask if its already gone!! :signLOL:
What you changing too fella?
-
I would only do a trade in at the minute anyway, it wouldnt be up for private sale
-
Not sure on what other people are getting trade in prices but I was looking to buy one last month and as I was in the trade previously I made a call to check the book price etc and was informed a price in the region of £10200 cant remember exactly but it was around that price. So £9900 does actually seem reasonable, it being white wouldnt make a blind bit of difference to the dealer if anything and this is going on what an old colleague was telling me car traders are starting to be very wary of white cars again as the fad seems to be dying off and the number of second hand white cars becoming available, just think of it as the new silver :happy2:
Have you done a deal yet? If not shop around as im sure there would be a dealer somewhere who would know the benefits of a white ED30 on theyre forecourts and would be willing to give a bit more than book price for it :wink:

I got £13500 trade in for mine 08 plate 5 door manual 30k HTH
-
Were these trade in prices against brand new cars and at main vw dealers?

The prices seem to have dropped about 5k in a year :surprised:
-
Your car is probably the most desirable spec at the mo, I'm sure you'd have no problems getting 14k privately.
-
Would the fact it's been modified have an impact on the re-sale value?
It's a great spec car but would put me off buying as personally would prefer an unmodified example to demand top money.
But I'm very jealous of some of your options.....xenons, sunroof etc :smiley:
Hope you get the money you want :happy2:

I was told that the book price for them had dropped £1500 - 2k. in the past couple of months by 3 - 4 separate stealers when looking to part exchange mine.
-
No, it was a trade in against a used car. When I sell it, it would all be returned to stock anyway, only thing I might leave on the car is the eibach springs.
