Trade in v Private Sale - what's current

[readerr0r]

I wonder what addons such as the RVC, Intercooler upgrades and other bits would add to the car? They obviously arent investments, but they must have some payback.

Performance upgrades are always a tricky one because it suggests that you thrash the car but they can appeal to a niche (Boy racers? ), RVC and Sat Nav are big ticket items though.

I've found where possible you'll get a better return removing mods and selling them separately.

Also having added factory options on a car doesn't necessarily result in a higher selling price but may get it sold quicker.

I'll definitely be moving mine on before warranty expires.

Been offered $17k on my tsi dsg with 33k on the clock. Seems fair and is 500 more than the dealer. Any thoughts?
