Small Bit Of Good News

Chris.S · October 29, 2008

Hat a tiny bit of good news earlier, my old boss phoned me to let me know that all the parts have just been ordered.

So in 10-14 days should get it back.

Also had confirmation my plate is now on retention so back to the original plate it will go ready for trading in or selling if anyone wants it

Sound mate at least it saves all the hassle of waiting for the insurance to pay out? Do you still think you'll go for a VW Golf mate :D

most probably when i find one i like, just missed out on a good one at the weekend but was in limbo with mine so had to let it go.

most probably trade in cus it will be hard to sell privately.

just not sure how the accident repair will effect the trade in of the car, i doubt a private buyer would buy it knowing it had been repaired.

Remember that you're not obliged to tell a buyer about the collision damage. However if they ask you must disclose it. If you do try selling privately, good luck - you'll need it. If you decide to trade in, just be prepared to be shafted. Been there, done it! I hesitate to use the word 'mainstream' as you can't really call a GTi that, but I can't think of a better word so mainstream it is. Anyway, I think that buyers trading from a 'prestige' model to a more 'mainstream' marque are the ones that get rogered the most. Dealers are in a much stronger position here as they have the upper hand as people want rid of bigger cars trading down to more economical ones. The dealers that are in the weaker position are those that are selling bigger and more expensive cars - you're much more likely to get a better deal this way round.
