What are GTIs selling for at the moment?

[VW Convert]

Used car prices will increase again in the near future, but then again so will new car prices!

Really? What makes you think that?

Have to agree with you there George, only if you bought something worth significantly more than what you paid you could possibly break even and weather it, otherwise you just going to loose loads on it...

Always the same regardless of what car you have (unless its a real classic).....cars depreciate massively but think of the enjoyment you get from owning them.

I reckon 15k for a 2006 Polo GTI is pretty fair considering you can get a new one one for about 26-27k.

Remember in other countries you weather a 30% hit in the first year and 50% by 3yrs...

Is it a bit odd isn't it? The Polo in the pics has leather which is not mentioned in the Ebay listing. That rings my alarm bell for sure! I dare say the guy is selling a Polo but its not the one in the pics! I would never buy a vehicle on Ebay. I think you'ld be crazy to. I have been ripped off many times for a lot less. Ebay is not what it used to be thats for sure.

Basically, just down to supply and demand. All other things being equal in the market, we have had a glut of new cars the last few years go onto the market. This has slowly driven down the price of the used cars. As new car sales dry up, and prices start to increase again, usually the used car values should follow upwards as well as there is less to choose from and more people are buying used cars. Also, the price of new cars have dropped quite a bit lately, some dealers are doing crazy dealers, and this forces used car prices down in the short term as well.
