Selling the Polo GTI

[Allegiance]

Has anyone sold one recently? What sort of interest did you get on it? Take a long time to sell?

[matthew_gibson]

If it helps I recently bought a Polo. The bloke I bought it from said he had quite a lot of interest (3 offers, which were fairly low ball but) As far as I know, it was for sale for a little over a month. Then it all depends on the condition of yours, the mods might deter some buyers but the buyer would be getting some serious bang for buck!

Anyone who doesn't buy your Polo is stupid haha! It's gorgeous!

Saying that, I'm pretty sure when I sell mine I'm going to put it back to stock (minus a few things) just to lower the price more, I'd probably sell mine for well under $10k stock, just cause no one seems to want Polos in Australia! They're a small, cute, girls car to most Australian males - in Europe it's a completely different story.

Thanks mate Unfortunately the only stock item I have is the air intake, otherwise I'd do the same

It took me about a month to sell mine with all mods listed in the sale. I had a few time wasters pending the sale of their own cars. Nothing eventuated with those. Even received a few requests for a swap lol yeah no thanks!

The guy who bought it didn't stuff around, named his price, switched rego that day and car was his the next.

Good luck with the sale of your polo

What year and how many Kms on it?

I think 19k is a bit ambitious for any age and km polo - I would take $8000 for mine stock...they're worth **** all man seriously.

What year and how many Kms on it?

2008 and 44,000 kms with APR ECU and APR Exhaust upgrade plus other bits and pieces like $1200 set of tyres.
its the cleanest polo gti going around and i am not a young guy who thrashes it everywhere either, fully serviced with all receipts ahead of service schedule etc.

target market for this polo is for those who cant afford a 2012 - 2013 polo gti yet want a car that is just as quick. i disagree that they are worth **** all

[nightphotographer]

I will disagree if you sell yours for $19k

[nightphotographer]

and by the way I'm only speaking from what I've seen on VWW - Polo is the entry level VW, so no one on this forum will buy a Polo, because they either have one or something better. From a car sales perspective they could be worth $19+ who knows, I'm just talking from what I've seen on VWW in the past 12 months or so.

I can't see you getting 19K, but that does not mean you wont.

If its a full turbo back APR exhaust, you could sell it to recoup some cost, but you won't see your money back from mods.

Good luck all the same.

[Smead]

Depending on all your mods and what the condition of the car is, I'd say you'll probably get around $15K max

you may be lucky and get what you want, who knows?

Just be prepared that you might be sitting on it for a while. Did you offer it in as a trade? what did they offer for it?

Good Luck

Quite seriously, Daryl, I'd keep it unless you really need the bigger car. The depreciation on a new MkVI Golf GTi is going to be MASSIVE since it is an outgoing model (eg, same versions/age of my runnout TDi can now on car sales for about 65% of the heavily discounted price that I paid for mine - makes them about 50% of the original price)

Main reason I'm doing it is so I can get the new car under a novated lease. I'm also now considering an R instead of the GTI
