2nd hand Tiguan price?

[nat225]

However it could be because of the brisbane market (quiet and deserted..).not sure if ACT is the same. Sydney was definately quicker in the used market, in Sydney it took me less than a week for 2 cars I sold privately.

I can understand why some people just dont bother selling their cars privately, it is just to much hassle. Especially if they are already super busy with family & work. Has anyone known a plastic surgeon or any other (with very high earning) professionals who sold a car privately?

Why you asking?
A plastic surgeon or not, there are some high earning professionals that are very greedy and they don't want to lose a dollar on anything .

Sorry Taz, I didn't know that you were still working on your post and wanted to delete your double post.
You can undelete your post if you like now.

Something definitely wrong with my laptop today! The screen was frozen and when I started it back to re-post, I ended up seeing two posts. I tried to delete one and it decided to delete both posts!

Anyways, here is what I was trying to say;

I do feel your frustrations but I think you have to be realistic with price and patience with time when it comes to selling your car. It took me 6 months to off-load my MPS3, however I had the luxury of time, having to wait 8 months for my Tiguan. Of the 6 months, only one dude rang at the end, and he became the next owner.

I also agreed with what Derek and Sharkie; you should probably de-mod your car back to stock prior to selling. The majority of the people looking to buy Tiguans are probably not interested with performance enhancements in the first place.

Having said this, it is IMHO that you should be honest about your mods to individuals who ended up viewing your car. When I sold my MPS3, I did not mentioned any modifications in my ad but immediately do so when this guy came to view my car. In the end he also bought two of my mods that I have sitting in my garage for sale.

No worries, Transporter. Had me confused for a few seconds there! All good

I agree which is why I'm advertising it with mod, so I have no issues later. I've got time as well before the sale is required, so happy to wait it out. In the meantime I can still drive a good car.

I'm thinking several factors are to blame. A slow market in the ACT because of job cuts to the public service and general uncertainty, and cheap new car prices. Dualis & sportage are new for 25k with 0% finance.

Transporter, yes the lease worked well for me. Although it's not for everyone.

I have just purchased a '09 tiguan TDI with 76,000km in Brisbane for $24,000. I know I probably paid over what I should have but it had all the options, body & leather colour that I wanted & condition was almost as new. I wouldn't have found one in SA. I believe in paying a proper price for what I want rather than bagging a bargain as a lot of people seem to do. One thing the seller told me was there was hardly any interest in the car because it was a manual which is what I wanted. One cheeky person offered him $15,000.
Before I purchased the car I spoke to a friend in sales who said that the trade in figure would be around $20,000 and that's what a private sale should be. Apparently extra options doesn't translate to extra price at sale time but for me it does & I am very happy with my purchase.

You're a champion mate and people like you are quite rare in todays world.
I also hate bargaining and believe in a fair price. There is a fine line in the negotiating process and majority of buyers cross it. I'm lucky that I don't have a new car fetish and like to keep my cars longer, around 10 years or so, and absolutely don't care about the resale value. Just give me what do you think is a fair market price.

Enjoy your Tiguan.

This has sparked my curiosity.

Anyone have any idea or Red Book guidance as to how much my Tig would be worth?

Turns 3 in December and has only done 34,000kms.
No real performance mod other than RSB and CAI. With the latter questionable.
The rest being cosmetic and OEM accessories.

The specific details are below.
