One annoying thing is that Webuyanycar insist on plaguing you with emails for, in my case 2 years, all I wanted was a rough price prior to selling privately.

To the OP, this is a proper buggar, just how you get the eye of someone that really wants that car for what you need/want to sell it for. Anyone buying that car could even extend the VW warranty so it would end up being same as buying from a VW dealer.

What probably knows back a few buyers is the need to get a finance deal that does not involve talking to their bank - and the issue with them probably having a car to chop in - which might suit you, yes life can be cruel - good luck selling your car.

Yeah man, thanks for the reply - looking like its going to be harder than i imagined, that is, to get what i want for it - selling is no issue, but i wont get what it is worth.

Unfortunately, just about the worst time to sell a car either privately or to the trade is just after it was purchased new.

You're always going to take a sizeable hit unless it's a rare/in demand car with a big waiting list or long delivery time.

It's ultimately only worth what somebody is willing to pay...

Good luck!

Shame to hear about you selling up! :( Your car really helped me decide on upgrading from my 6R to a SEL 6C!

Just for your info, I spoke to a friend who is a salesman at VW to find out what deal I could strike on a factory order, when I asked him to match the quote I got from DTD he said he literally couldn't at this time... There is so much demand at the moment for a new Polo that their business manager will not offer any discount so encouraged me to find used one, I don't think he was lying about this as he helped me find a pre-reg car at another dealer.

I don't know if the demand is for Polos in general or for TDI's?

Ahh thats good to know, as the car really is a nice car - much more refined compared to the likes of a Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Renault Clio etc - i know it is a little more pricey over those but the extra cash is 100% worth it. The 6C literally is a baby Golf. Oh really? Maybe a dealer will offer me a decent price then on a part ex or a similar, especially if there are non in UK stock used. I had a quick look on Auto-trader and there are only two on there both of which are standard SE models with no optional extra's.

Problem is that extras don't really help with the resale values. :(

Hope things work out for you.

Must depend on which model as I got £1700 knocked off my BGT.. And the salesman personally had never sold one (was slightly above CarWow)

Anyone know if you can swap PCP onto HP or swap PCP to a family member?

Can they not just take out a bank loan and pay off your finance that way if they want the car?
