Hi all,
One more question. I’m really struggling to get my head round the pricing of A2s, it seems to be nothing like the slightly more predictable laws of newer second hand cars that I’m used to where it’s a fairly simple product of spec, mileage and who’s selling it. Actual sale prices seem to vary wildly for little obvious reason and bear little relation to the usual price guides (Parkers etc). Does anybody have any guidelines that might help me decide whether asking prices are reasonable or not? I haven‘t finalised my spec but most likely I’ll be looking for a TDI (ideally 90 but would consider 75) with OSS And Climate. Probably an SE or maybe Colour Storm with as much kit on it as possible though I’m appreciating now that pretty much anything can be retro fitted. I’m willing to pay a premium for good condition and history and ideally relatively low mileage. Don’t take this as a “wanted” ad because I’m not in a position to buy yet, I’m just trying to learn the ropes so that I’m properly clued up by the time I can buy.
Thanks
