Peoples opinions please?

 

[Firas]

is it a straight swap? or cash your way?

 

[Rich..]

He mentioned £500 my way, rekons he was offered 9.5k for his a few weeks ago and turned it down, which he regrets now. I'd probably take 9k for mine. I don't really want the A6 but I think it might be easier to sell than mine.

 

[Ian_182]

The A6 has buck rogers miles on it though.

You will struggle to get a good price for it just on that basis

Aye the mileage would put me off regardless of age/engine

 

[joebristolgym]

I personally wouldn't do that swap - your car has sensible miles on it - come the srping (if you can wait that long) I'd imagine your car would sell better being a convertible.

I've made someone a really low offer on a VX220, and with a bit of gentle persuasion he's agreed to it!

Dont do it mate!

Off Topic but nice one

 

[joebristolgym]

Sorry - got that in just because I had a little chat about the A4 Cab and that I was looking for something a little less civilised....think a bright yellow vx with black wheels and a stage 1 remap should do that lol!

 

[Rich..]

you managed to convince your gf on the yellow one then

 

[joebristolgym]

Haven't actually told her yet....

 

[Rich..]

oh lol, gl...

Anymore opinions on this swap? I thought I was getting a good deal from what Ive seen after searching for similar cars to his, and mine, for sale. I know the mileage is high but for a car like that with full history, and obviously m'way miles, it shouldn't really matter too much in this price range (with av miles this car is booked at over £12k), I've driven a couple of VW Golf's with another 50k on top of what his has done, and they drove like new.

 

[joebristolgym]

I think though a lot of people would see the mileage and write it off without any further thought - I know my parents and a lot of their friends would.

I've no doubt it will have plenty of life in it, but a lot of folks would assume it wouldn't.

 

[Ben.]

definately not, that sort of mileage on a 3 year old car would put me right off (i know the engine can handle it)

will have so much trouble trying to sell it on again

 

[Rudi]

steer clear mate, can you not hold out a few months untill the weather picks up?

 

[fossie]

If the mileage wasnt that high i would have snapped his hand off

 

[DCI_DUDE]

Do not be put off by the milage mate !! Vag's are well know that there only 'worn in' at 100k But like said before you wpuld get a lot better price come summer time !! also why would he want the A4 cab if he has just got another A6 ??

 

[joebristolgym]

If you wanted the A6 to keep for a few years then I could possibly see the swap, but if it is to sell on, then I can't see the attraction.

 

[Rich..]

The attraction for was me thinking it would be easier to sell, and they do seem to be priced higher than A4 cabs atm, but judging by this thread I was wrong, thanks for all the opinions btw, its appreciated.

 

[R20 CWH]

his mileage is dogging the deal imo.

id decline

 

[Mark One]

declined.

What about this one?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/792015.htm

i like that... ICE is a bit OTT for my liking... not sure he'll go for a convertible though as he wants 5 doors?

 

[Rich..]

He emailed me this morning asking if I'm interested in a PX, I'm assuming he means cash his way, but after looking around his is a bit overpriced. I was also confused about the 5 door thing.

He has "baby on the way"

Why fit screens into the headrests unless you have kids already? Some people confuse me.
