Title: Valuation, standard MK5 GTi.
Post by: Ramsay on July 29, 2014, 09:23:55 pm: Hi,

Was just looking for a quick valuation on my Golf GTi. Unfortunately thinking of selling it now, the ONLY reason being is ive been moved place of work and its now costing around £250 - £300 per month in fuel to travel back and forth, looking to get a more economical car, absolutely love the golf so it will be well missed, anyway:

Standard 5 door MK5 Golf GTi 2006, 06 plate,
60K miles,
Full grey leather interior,
Heated seats,
Polished Monza alloys (could do with refurb due to corrosion)
RNS510 head unit with satnav

Just looking for a quick valuation still got around £2k left on the finance so would probably have to part ex the car.

Any help and even suggestions for a new car would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Was thinking that too, I have been quoted £5500 from we buy any car, that was without telling them it was full leather and nav and a few other things. A salesman i spoke with yesterday (he was an absolute idiot) quoted about £5500 without looking at the car too. If i didnt have £2k outstanding id just sell it privatley as im sure someone would get better use of it that way :signLOL:

Post by: J400uk on July 30, 2014, 02:27:44 pm: Hmm well Glasses guide must be wrong at the moment then because that trade value is far too low. Low mileage mk5 GTIs like the OPs don't generally trade for anything less than about £5k. I normally find CAP to be accurate

Post by: Ramsay on July 31, 2014, 08:08:32 pm: Thanks all, CAP valuation is £5500 - £6000 with all added extras, quite surprised at we buy any car offering that much lol.

Really gutted im going to have to get rid of it, by far the best car I've ever had !!!!!

Post by: J400uk on August 01, 2014, 05:33:22 pm: I've used them before they only took a couple of hundred of the price quoted online which I didn't think was bad really. Still worked out as more than I was offered trading it in elsewhere. They've improved a lot recently after all the negative press they used to attract. Owned by BCA now.
