Selling my 4motion, need advice on price

[dirtbag]

My golf 4motion is a Dutch Paralell import, I am looking at selling it. Can i have some advice on how much I should ask for it (Privately)

Spec
VW Golf V6 4motion (RHD UK SPEC)
X Reg 2001 in Black 3 door
Beige Leather heated (Not recaro)
51k on the clock
2 Previous Owners
FSH,comes with English manual
It is in mint condition

What price should i ask lads ?

Cheers

You're probably not going to like this but price it just over £6k to get interest and be prepared to accept around £5,800-£6,000.

I have the same car with black recaros and 85k. Fantastic condition but I'd eb luck to get £5,500 for it so have decided to run it for a while longer.

Many thanks, is yours an import ?

Mine's a UK car.
No sense you pointing out its an import as it just gives the buyer reason to try and knock your price down further.
The car is too old for warranty so its irrelevant whether it was a UK car or not (unless the standard spec is different).

Thanks, but I should tell people its an import surley ?
It has aircon and an electric sunroof, but no climatronic.
When I got the car I the previous owner(s) looked as though they made no effort to get any history on the car and the v5 had Golf "n" on it instead of golf v6 4 motion, I knew a simple call to VW would sort this out and a letter to the dvla. I have bent over backwards to get the books stamped up to date and I have achievd it.

Im still not sure about not stating its an import, I don't like the idea of s1 buying it then ringing me back 3 months later giving me grief, or am i being too niave ?

oops sorry for double post

[Vee]

UK cars all had climatronic so as its not UK spec you should say so.
Afraid to say the value of yours has just gone south another £1k or so.

Stick it on eBay and see what bidding gets to.
