I looked at buying an almost new 2.0 Passat TDI SCR 190 from a local VW dealer, despite the alleged inability for VAG dealers to shift cars at the mo they didn't want to budge on the price (fair enough) but the cheeky feckers offered me below the CAP value on mine, stating used car prices have been hugely effected at present due to a lack of confidence in the brand.
Looks like I'm gonna give up trying to part-ex mine. A few dealers point blank declined to even appraise it and I've had offers as low as £10k for it. Every dealer stating that they won't be able to shift it due to the negative press at the mo.
I don't want to get rid because any of this emissions rubbish, I couldn't give 5hit TBF. I'd happily buy another VAG diesel.
I just find it odd as CAP themselves put out something in the press that early indications allude to a potential 2-3% has been wiped off the used value of VAG diesels at present which really doesn't tally with what I'm getting told/offered by dealers. Obviously the dealers are using this to their advantage.
