I'm thinking about selling my VRS as I've just been handed a company car.

How much do you guys think I should be looking for it?

It's an 11 plate with 23k on the clock.

And are these cars actually shifting at the moment?

Cheers in advance

about £8500 ? maybe £9k if a private sale?

my 61 with 17k on has no problems getting offered 10k against several makes of cars that are around the 20k mark

Paid 11.2k for an 11 estate with 11,000 miles from a main dealer.

Skoda dealers quoting about £8K p/x in my experience (though mine had 10K more miles). Non-Skoda dealer offered £9K straight purchase. As yours is lower mileage you should hopefully get £9.5Kish from a dealer or more privately.

 

You may struggle selling to a Skoda dealer tbh, as they don't want them (they go wrong, and the public seem to have gone off buying them, at least for decent money).

 

Good luck

Thanks for the replies guys.

Louis mentions selling to none skoda dealerships, do you think most others are approachable and willing to buy marques they don't sell?

hyundai, kia, ford, vauxhall have all offered me 10k or thereabouts (im sure with haggling it would be anyways), ive been trying lots of cars as there just sooooooo many nice ones these days so nobody seems against these cars. still got a few more to go too

 

oh and the kia dealership is also vw so if there was any problems they would know about them too

Non Skoda Dealerships need vehicles from someplace, bought from the Trade & Auction.

They buy the cars that 'We Buy Any Car' buys from Private Buyers.

 

So check what WBAC is offering.

with your offer, it might then get improved in a few days.

You should easily get a Car Dealer that will over at least £500 more than the price these will show.

 

If the Offer is say , £7990  then you know it is going into their Salesrooms with the Dealerships they own, or to Auction,

then with at least with an Asking Price of £9500 in a Dealers.

So see what they offer , see what any Dealers offer,

they can buy from you without needing to go Buy Stock at Auction.   Maybe the offers are far too low,

but its a way to find out.

 

There are Private sale vRS not selling, but you only need one buyer with cash, so maybe advertise.

There are buyers for ones that are looking for a non Oil User, or one in warranty.

(those vRS advertised are only showing 'Asking Prices', you only know what people are getting if they sell and tell you how much they got.)

 

EDIT, 

Todays offer from WBAC for a over 3 year old,

2 previous owner, 25,000 mile FSH, vRS was £7010.

The same as that are sitting around the Country being offered for sale with 'Asking Prices' of around £8500-£9000.

I see you are at Mansfield....if Rainworth don't make a decent offer I would say no point asking at the Ford dealer next door as they will just talk to Rainworth and ask their opinion.

Yes,you do sometimes get better p/ex figures from another franchise,as always it pays to shop around.

Hmm, appears I am having trouble getting anything near the 9k I have been advised by Skoda and VW.

Most places only want to give a little over 8k.

I'm tempted just to hand the company car back and take the car allowance on the fabia and an extended warranty...

whats the company car?

It's only a 1.3cdti astra estate, the best thing about it is the extra space. After running it for 2 weeks I'm starting to think I'd regret selling the fabia.

ouch.... think I would too in your position, if you want the better space, get rid of the CC, use the CC allowance plus trade in yours for a new fabia vRS estate! (I just love the estate looks :P )

I agree with Sharkrider.  The trade in makes sense & buy new with a 5 year Warranty.

 

Or if keeping what you have ,

Ask a Skoda Dealer on the details of the extended warranty on the 3 year old car. 

The member of staff signing you up gets the Commission so its odd that some dealers mess around getting the info.

 

1 year is £399 & 2 is £547, so i think the 2 year is a pretty good bargain,   Just £1.34 a day for some piece of mind.

Mine PX'd for £9200 against my ST.  That was an 11 plate with 18k on the clock.
