Stu92 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 1st up I own a gti 53, found a 52 reg plate gti in a vw stealers with all the optional extras. So gave them a call and they would only offer £6k for my 53 with 15k miles on the clock. Mine is pretty standard except for the retrim leather that they didn't like, and the tinted windows. Thought they would offer more, especially since theres is 33k miles and a year older.So it would cost me £2k to get an older car with twice as many miles, but more toys. Anyone think it is worth it?

Tigz™ Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Not a chanceThey would then bump another £2000 onto your car, and put it on the forcourt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I would think you would get well more than £6000 for yours privately. But then you run the riak of the other one being away while you try and sell yours. And they want £8000 for the 52 plate, is that right? If it is, that seems a bit steep, but then the dealers get away with that sort of thing. What are you getting for your £2k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 You could probably buy all the extras for under 2k if you wanted them! And whats that about them not liking leather?! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 LOL Dealers are so full of it!Keep yours. Like Max says, you could spec yours up for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Do not do it, complete rip-off from the dealer. I would never buy an older model of the same car for a premium. Agree with all the others here, spec your car up if you are that bothered. You have leather so only other expensive option is the air-con. You will then have the newer car, with lower milage and the options you would like.Only exception is if you want a sunroof as you cannot really retro fit one of these...certainly not enough of an option to change the car for though.

If so is this a big job and how much? Edited October 15, 2006 by Stu92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Stuff them.Sounds like a crap deal to me. Why would you want to trade in for an older higher milage car?Just for the extras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
