want a swap with a 2010 gti?

Thanks for the offer but doesn't suit us.

The fact there has not been a lot of phone calls indicate either lack of interest in Octavia RS's or the price is outside the going range. Was only offered about $10k trade in on a new Kia Sorento. They were going to wholesale it on. Not in any great hurry to sell, just trying to keep it presentable in the garage.

Try another Kia dealer for a better deal? There are plenty around.

I'm not sure how much Sorento's are but we've owned quite a few 7 seaters in both SUV & people mover style & the SUVs are a bit useless (ranging from "why did they bother" to "they've almost got this right".

Have a look at the latest Honda - it's pretty good & the prices are keen. V6 Tarago is fantastic but probably a bit expensive. Avensis Verso was great when we had them (had 2) but is probably outdated now.


If they offered you $10k then I doubt your car is worth 2x wholesale. More like 1.5-1.8 x. It's 4 years old now so it wouldn't be unexpected to drop 50% off what you paid for it.

Thanks Brad, already purchased the new Sorento, not sure if you have looked at the new model but nothing comes close to value for money, and I can not find any indication of cost saving unlike the Skoda, it's very well put together and if it wasn't for the badge you would think you were in a euro costing 10+k more, no joke. And 7 year warranty just adds to the package. To get similar in the Toyota Kluger you would have to get the Grande for more than $70K. The Octavia was more than $50k so massive deprecation.

Definitely top of segment, the new model is better than everything we looked at before deciding to spend $60k on a Kia.
