The "Second Hand" / "2nd Hand" MK6 Golf Thread

[Tom87]

Out of interest looking and contemplating how much my car is worth privately. There are only a handful of cars similar to mine on carsales so a bit hard to see what people are paying for them.

Fully serviced, it is in immaculate condition, not a crease on the leather, no marks etc.

2010 VW Golf GTI 3 door - Manual
48 000km's
18" Detroit Wheels
Full Leather
Xenon Lights
Sunroof
Rear Camera
MDI
USB/Aux

So it is very well optioned, and is rare, especially being manual and 3 door. I was thinking listing 34-35k would be reasonable?

I've been contemplating the change myself and from the current trends on carsales I think you're at the high end of the potential market. Despite being rarer the manuals or 3dr do not command a premium over the 4dr DSG. In this case rarer simply means they have not been as popular.

I think you'd probably offload yours closer to $30,000 privately and low 20's at trade.

I'm thinking of putting it up for around 38k. Thoughts?

Drove past this one on the weekend - July 12 with APR Stage 2, detriots, 12ks. $37,500 driveaway and that is at a dealer. Wholesale would probably be $29k-$30k so prices are being smashed now. See link below

I think your about right Andrew. This one has similar KM's and is manual as well. See link:

Hey all

Looking at a few mk6 tdi's soon - apart from the usual things is there anything obscure to look out for on these models ?
The usual DSG problems come to mind. It's a tdi , decent pressure plates made for higher torque , right ?
What other mini tests can I do on a test drive ?

Thanks for any thoughts !

Guys,

I'm interested in feedback on selling a 2010 R. Carsales has a few all around the low to mid $40k depending on options and mileage. However carguide list price for a 2010 R is anywhere between $34K to $38K. Are all these cars over priced, or are the sellers trying to get in first before the market becomes flooding with three year old lease vehicles.

Like I said, feedback is most welcome, especially on 2010 R's that have sold.

Cheers

Richardo

Carsguide is generally useless.

A car is worth whatever someone will pay for it.

Well, my only hope is that there is someone out there who wants a mk6 118tsi Golf and doesn't read the papers or watch the news.

Otherwise I'm stuck with it forever, that is until the scrap value exceeds the market value (probably not that far away).

26,000 recalled for repairs. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it was only a matter of time. What an engineering disaster!

Mine is a manual but do you think that will matter. The PR damage is done. Trade in values are sunk. Carsales will be flooded and every young girls father will be saying "don't buy a VW, they're dangerous. Buy a nice Mazda 3 instead."

VAG, hang your head in shame.
