How much is my Golf worth?
How much should I expect to get for a 2011 black VW Golf. 50k on the clock. 2 lady owners. 1.2L petrol. NCT may 2017. Air con.
Our answer:
Hi Ciara,
There seem to be an awful lot of optimists out there looking for €16k for a 2011 Golf, which sounds insane to me. I’d say circa €13k is a more realistic value, probably a bit less on trade-in.
