Was recently interested in trading in my A2 for the same model but diesel version. But did not due to shockingly low valuation given by dealer to my A2. My a2 is registered in March 2003, so its on a 03 plate. It’s done just under 40k, 1.6 FSi sport, full grey leather and body kit also. 6cd auto-changer although that has now been converted to a Denison ice link for my ipod. Wanted to trade in for a 1.4TDI 90PS with red leather. Both vehicles are black (mine is brilliant, the dealer's is phantom), mileage is 40k vs 32k. Dealer valuation was £7k up from their original £6.5k offer. And the TDi A2 was priced at £10.5K!!! What is going on with that? Is it me or are trading in values extortionately low? My car is 11 month since I bought it from Audi dealers, so virtually no work is required to get it to the forecourt again... What are the thoughts of club members here? Should I be expecting more for my car or is that what it is worth? Personally, I was expecting no less than 8K... Feels like the dealers are trying to cream as much dosh from my pockets, which is no big surprise, but still, felt it was extortionate... What kind of prices could I expect from the private market? All opinions are welcome so please leave me your thoughts on this...
