I'm not happy with my trade-in offer.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a 141 1.6 TDI Golf. I would be trading in a 2008 1.4 GT Sport 80hp Golf. It has 227,000km on the clock. I was offered €4,500 as a trade in, which I thought was very poor. It needs small bit of work done to wing where it was scraped. Any advice please?

Our answer:

Hi Martin,

I hate to bust your bubble but I'd say €4,500 as a trade in for a 2008 car with 225k on the clock is really good. I doubt you'd do better elsewhere.
