    How can it?! All I'm looking for is a general standard price if people think there is one!

    A dealer selling you the car fully serviced and with a warranty is entitled to charge more than someone selling it privately don't you think?

    Around 12 straight from a garage. Friend of mine bought a lovely 06 sportline from a dealer for 15 2 weeks ago.

    there are a lot of overpriced Golfs out there. remember how much a Golf base (now with aircon) is if you get tempted by a really clean but expensive one!

    Well I'm being asked for €11000-€11500 with an '02 Punto that I'm been giving €4000 for!

    uh huh?

    do you really think a 4 year old Golf should be worth €15,500,
    In reality they're buying the Punto in for around €2k (which is about the right trade price) and selling you the Golf out at €13,000-€13,500

    Which is slightly too much in my opinion.


    Some may disagree if they base what a car is worth on what Carzone says.

    They`re very over piced, 10 grand is enough maybe.

    If it's that important to you then buy a warranty.

    OP, I don't know who you're trying to convince that you're not being overcharged. As long as you can justify it then that's all that matters.
    Seems like you're about to be another victim of slick marketing for what is essentially a 4 year old 75bhp hatchback with alloys and silicone-damped grab handles.

    There can be a huge difference in what they are asking for them and what they actually sell them for in the real world.

    Golfs are notoriously overpriced.

    You'll need a warranty on a golf , especially a 1.4.
