What would the value of my Golf be?
What would be the real value of my car, Volkswagen golf 2009 be? 120.000 odd miles, diesel 1.6. I've had zero issue's in 5 years I've had it. Paint work needs to be repaired due to calcified water damage incurred in underground carpark. Thank you
Our answer:
HI Karol,
Generally speaking, depending on condition and history, a 2009 Golf would be worth around €5-7,000, but the paint issue on your car throws a bit of a spanner in the value works. It kind of depends on how extensive the damage is and how much it will cost to fix, but if you want to maximise your value, I’d get it sorted before you trade-in or sell. Potentially, it could knock as much as €2,000 off the value.
