The "royal we" have a late 62 plate GTD TDI Golf, bought in June 2014 for c£16k.

We traded an 08 plate, same car, for £7.5k at the time - so that was a 6yo car, about 48k miles iirc.

The missus has a bad back and doesn't get on with the MKVI which is a shame as it was bought with the intention of keeping it for years as we had the MKV before.

I can't give it away! This is a 3.5 year old car and the best offer I've had was 10,750.

So.. has the market dropped that much? I'm regretting hanging onto it now.. and buying it in the first place obviously.

I think the lack of demand is the issue. I think i'll keep it and use it as my daily, keep the miles off my M2 and S2000 till this blows over.

I saw the news they are selling hardly any cars.. Crazy days

there was this last year

then this more recently

That's against a backdrop of a record year of car sales.

From what i see, watching other cars for sale like mine, they are not moving at all
