Thanks.

Also note its a DSG.

Considering the above, is 30k realistic?

I know the site says 26-29 (or there abouts), but thats based on 20,000km, mines only done 4000.

Anyone on this forum know anyone who wants a golf? lol

Shame it's an 09 build... this means a dealer would likely be offering you an 09 price.

The redbook page for an 09 118TSI DSG is here. Private sale price of $26k-$28,700, assuming mileage between 15,000 and 25,000. Given your mileage and options, I'd think $30k is achievable, but you'd be much more likely to get that sort of money if you sell privately. Do you have friends or family in Australia that could sell the car for you after you leave?

[Timmy10]

Yeah I do have family who could sell it after I leave (2 months time).

I was just wanting to sell it ASAP to ensure i get the maximum possible.

See what people are getting for 118's now brand new and undercut it by $1000.
Also look on carsales etc and see if there are any similar to yours.

[Timmy10]

Yeah im gonna chuck it on carsales. Hard to gather a competative price because most of the MY10 2009 cars on there are 'demo' or from a dealer.

I think I would like 30k for it, ill be down some money, but not much.

If anyone knows anyone interested let me know.

No harm in putting it in the Cars for Sale forum here as well.

Thanks, found it and posted.

Pain in the ass - good luck with moving it before you go mate.

[Timmy10]

Massive pain in the backside.

Was thinking of passing on the car to the old man, but he is in the market for a GTI.

Then the thought came of getting this car traded-in while he buys a GTI, but I will be left more out of pocket as the dealer wont be as accomodating with the price compared to a private sale.

Ive posted the car on the sale forum.

Hopefully someone notices it and contacts me, considering for 30k you are getting a almost brand new car (4000km & 3 months old)
