AT YOUR SERVICE
Sunday Mirror, Apr 27, 2008 by QUENTIN WILLSON
MARTIN Allman drives a 53-reg Golf R32 with 29,000 miles which he is thinking of trading in for a 56-plate R32 DSG from his local VW dealer. Martin has been offered pounds 11,500 for his car, against an asking price of pounds 22,500. Should he walk away? QUENTIN SAYS: If you read the article about the used-car market below, you'll see that it's mighty tough out there.
In the current climate, Martin's R32 is worth about pounds 13k, but he shouldn't pay more than pounds 20k for the dealer's car. He should sell privately on one of the club websites (www.r32register.co.uk or www.r32oc.com), and bid the dealer with cash, kicking off at pounds 18k.
