yes, that's weird I know. Even the guys at the german "motortalk" forum said that it's weird, but must be some kinda "special edition" or the guy who was the first owner of the car wanted VW to make it like that. (I forgot to mention to you guys that we're the 2nd owners, we bought it in 2006, you can see it on the website, but it's in german xD)

@chiv : oh ok xD

epic video made the car look glorious, or glorious video made the car look epic? Laughing

and it's only a diesel golf Surprised Laughing

anyway, ask for the higher price (7500), someone is probably willing to pay more than the average price for a car in great shape. I know I would. And they will probably ask for a discount, so you can sell it for 7k~7300 then.

Hmm, to be honest. Most of them look like ass and don't even have the pre-heating (set a time on when you want the car to heat itself and melt the ice/snow from the car by itself) or the radio plus soundsystem.

so I guess 7k~7300k should be fine to ask.

Also, I don't know if it works like here, but usually you get a lot of calls in the first few days if the price is good, so if you don't get much interest in the first week you should probably lower the price a bit...

your asking price is ridiculous. there are 100s of ads same car as yours in same condition (assuming your car's condition is good) for like 4000-5000 euros.

heated seats definitely aren't worth extra 2000+ euros Laughing

you are ridiculous
only the stock auxilary heater costs about 1000 euro

I love guys that think all cars with the same frame and engine cost the same..

@Kurwa you shouldn't have put the text as a picture, it can't be translated this way

wow you are horrible at this car thing, aren't you? just because new original heater is 1000 euro (like you claim) doesn't mean it should increase 10 year old car's value by 1000 euros.

one must be absolutely insane to pay 7000+ euros for a 10 year old golf

ye, and what about the pre-heating of the car? it's very useful in winter when car heats up, melts all the snow / ice & etc.

I haven't seen any other Golf 5's from 2004/2005 with that extra yet.

A crappy one with some extras got sold for 10k yesterday >.< .... and that one even had 125000 km on it.

@StrEagle: yeah, you're right. I should fix that. thx

I don't believe that a 2004 golf with 125k got sold for 10k.... If it did the seller scammed the buyer/ basically got the deal of his lifetime.

All these extras you're listing don't amount to much. If a heater costs 1000 it doesn't automatically mean you add that to the asking price.

of course

in 2011 I bought my 2007 polo for 10k eur
all my collegues said "you're crazy! you could buy an awesome bmw for that money!"

and surely enough - a collegue actually bought a 200* E36 325-ish with a robotic?-something transmission, leather interior and 8 speakers

now I'm driving my car whenever and wherever, because it eats 5/100 and my tax is 25eur a year
he rarely uses his car, because it eats 13-15/100, his tax is 150eur a year, has double my insurance costs and fears for his transmission, because if it breaks, the repair will cost the same as the car..

so yes, for every car there is at least one stupid buyer Smile

Mine was 8 years old and I paid 11 grand for it (got 2250 back for my 206). 2004 2.0 FSI Sportline (meaning pretty much all options except parking sensors and heated seats) with 78k on the clock. Perfectly normal price for a car like that around here; same car you can now find for around 8.5k at best.

TDIs are a little less desirable here in NL because the Dutch government has insane taxes on diesel cars. Road tax is literally twice as high; the 2.0 TDI instead of my 2.0 FSI is 300 EUR/yr in road tax instead of the 150 I pay. Cheapest I can find? http://www.autotrack.nl/tweedehands/volkswagen/golf/11779680 - 114k on the clock and it's still almost 7 grand. In Germany that's not the case to such extremes though, so a TDI will fetch a slightly higher price there.

Just because they're cheaper where you live, doesn't mean that's the case everywhere. Mchart used to keep forgetting that too, always assuming US prices. Same goes for petrol prices: http://www.fuel-prices-europe.info/index.php?sort=4 - €1.86 here. Even Belgium and Germany are usually around 20 cents cheaper, but not the 60 cents like Poland for example.

Would be great if I could have the money by August. The payment for my new car starts on the 1st August 2014.

But it doesn't really matter. I have the money for my new car already, but the cash from the Golf would be useful.

Here we're talking about paying 10k for a 10 year old car.... And i fail to see your point. If he bought a bmw (older one at that), he should know it costs more for upkeep...

Well, in that case you are fucked.
The sooner you need it, the sooner you'll have to lower that price point to compromise Sad


Should have started the sale sooner, kurwa! Mad
