Hi guys,
Regretfully, I am thinking of selling my Polo GTi after I get a new clutch fitted.
What do you think is a fair asking price?
2000 W Reg
3dr Metalic Black
78k miles
12 months MOT
New front pads and discs
Cambelt changed at 65k miles
Rain sensitive wipers
Air con & sunroof
15" BBS RXIIs - All wheel rims recently refurbished
NO MODS
Lovingly cared for and in excellent condition!!

what about service history? i'm guessing it got a fair amount as you seem to have looked after it properly!
its on average miles i'd say but i think you'd be looking between 4.5k and 5.5k maybe?

Cheers Dan!
Yeah, it has a full service history!
Although it hasn't been serviced at the steelers (I wanted a better service than a quick wipe over the engine bay with a damp cloth
)

thats cool, and i know where your coming from! the dealers once left my car with oil all over the engine bay and a dent in either wing! i was not amused!
with the FSH then i think you will see closer to 5.5k

I am thinking of moving over to a GTI but have seen quite a few GTI's with FSH around 57-65k miles for around £4k - £4.8 mark So 5.5k seems quite high from what I have seen but I have only just started looking at GTI's
Dont suppose any one wants to buy my polo? lol

To be honest I suspect that £5.5K is REALLY pushing it, and a price more in the ballpark of £4.5K - £4.8K is more realistic, even with the work you've done. Its what other have suggested as well recently.

I say up to 4.5k. My car is a year younger, has leather and has only done 42k and I'd sell it for 4.8-5k

I agree...the book price for the guys car is around £4,000 max...
check it in parkers...

It is well known that the parkers value is less than you can actually achieve. A decent GTi like TheEggShell's will fetch over £4k with ease. No more than £4.6k though IMO.

buyers will pay what the guide stipulates...

No they won't!
I don't know of anyone who bases the price they pay for a car on what the Parkers guide says.
