lol, shameless plug!

Seriously though, when I was buying mine, there were no second hands available. Though I was buying new anyway! Seems 2nd hands seem to hold their value well so far..

Just trying to see if its the market thats slow or are people buying them new instead?

Mine was one of the cheapest on autotrader, comparing mileage and year yet it still hasnt sold...and the only candy white one!

I think it may have something to do with the time of year, and the fact that it is so new may put some people off!

Have you had meny viewings?

Is it on pistonheads?

SEAT are doing 0% finance on new ones at the moment, so a second hand one would have to be mighty cheap, else it will turn out to cost more over 36 months, than a regular bank loan for a slightly cheaper, second hand one

Maybe white isn't to everyones taste? (it isn't mine).

I have seen a yellow TFSI FR DSG, (not sure of extras) for the same money on a dealer forecourt here in Kent. Again not my choice of colour.

Not saying you need to reduce price, there is just a lot of competition and as Mork says deals on new.

Bought mine second hand from dealers in August, and I know that it had been on the forecourt for 2 or 3 months.

I'm a bit annoyed that with the 0% finance the cost of a new car with a better specification would not be too much more than I'm paying now - for some reason Mrs Bozboz isn't keen on my idea of trading in for a new one!

Had a few viewing(need to sell their own car first) and a good few time wasters.

Didnt know about the fianace deal that SEAT had on...maybe explains alot. Think I will hold on to it until the new year and the offer is finished but then again not everyone will have the 40% deposit to make use of the deal.

Cheers folks

We refer to it as just plain old 'england' but that's pedantic

NI is just a ferry ride away, providing you don't get kneecapped.

It is up to you, but I would check out the prices of similar age and spec cars around, and gauge your price from there, but obviously you don't want to give it away so you may just have to be patient until the right buyer comes along?

What was the dealer offering just out of interest?
