Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

              • Guess what is hitting the docks in Melbourne today? Hehe....... Not long to go now....

                Our current car hasn't sold yet and we are thinking of trading it in. Do dealers tend to rip you off, can you haggle over the trade in price?

                • You can sacrifice 30 to 50% of what you could potentially get privately by trading in a car. My previous car a dealer offered $13k, but strongly advised to not take the offer. I sold it for $18k privately.

                  • You can try your luck and see how you do negotiating your trade in.. Obviously the dealer will want to make some coin from the car you trade so like what Corey_R said, you will sacrifice some coin if you don't sell private..

                    The best price I could get for my last car was 30k (got it valued at several VW dealers).. Ended up selling it privately for 38k.. It did take a while to sell however, had some headaches with tyre kickers rocking up to the house to look at the car, making ridiculous offers, wasting my time etc..

                    I guess in the end it's up to you..

                      • Saw the dealer on the weekend to see what they would do for a trade in. They offered $8000. Sold it the same day for $10500

                        The car is at the Brisbane docks too! They are delaying it a couple of weeks for 2012 compliance so will see it third week of January, two months ahead of the ETA.

                          Our dealer offered us $8,000 for our MY09 Honda Jazz. Ended up selling it privately for $10,500. Still cheap, but it covered the residual
