Help Wanted With Trade-in Value

[Guest Fred]

I am trying to trade-in my Sep 03 Galaxy 1.9 TDI (130) Ghia and cannot find a trade-in price. Even Glass's does not mention the 130, although they do list the 115 model.

 

Does anybody know where I can find out what would be a realistic trade-in value?

I would have thought there would be very little difference value wise between the 130 and 115. Add a little bit to the 115 price or should you be taking a bit away for the reported rougher running?

Why do you want to trade in such a new car? Not many people will want to do that, hence there will be few guidelines to determine its value.

I agree, I cant see that there would be any difference really between the 115 and the 130. Base it on the 115.

Just out of interest, the best I was offered in the end was

So, if you don't mind me asking, what did you do in the end? Keep it?

[Another?Maybe!]

Should have put it on offer on this site, I was looking for a 130 and not easy to find but am sorted now if not put in gaol first!

 

Ford Direct site gives an idea of selling prices, take some off if it's a trade-in

I've kept the Galaxy for the wife as a run about - she doesn't think the Jag X Type Estate I've ordered fo myself will be big enough for us! I'll do a private sale in a couple of years time and buy her a polo. The reason for the poor trade in price was apparently that a lot of 1 yr old Galaxy's are due on the 2nd hand market in Sep.
