Used GTI prices are nearly as high as those for new MK7.5s

Nice e30 @hotbascosauce ! GTIs and e30s go together great. Here’s mine.

Nice! I had a metal bumper white vert with beige interior 4 years ago. I sold it to help with the downpayment of my first house.

Love it. Are you also on R3VLimited?

The market is clearly softening - but - that seems a bit low.

This is still the best time to sell a car although I suspect that will end soon - it is already slowing.

Instead of the market softening or slowing down, looks like it's actually going the opposite direction these last few months. 2016 - 2017 GTI's with < 40k miles are now in the $25k - $28k range, which is insane. While I have no intention of getting rid of it, Carvana would give me more now for my car, than I paid for it over 2 years and 30k miles ago. I paid $18.2k for it in early 2019 when it had 30k miles on it...

Like, a 2017 Sport with 31k miles for almost $29k?

People were buying those new in 2017 for thousands less than that.

A 2019 SE for almost $34k? That might even be above (or at least close to) sticker price.

This shit is bananas.

Yes, it was looking like prices were stabilizing but now they are going back up. Crazy.

We sold my Acura and my wife's Civic to Carvana earlier this year. I just plugged the VINs into the vroom site (was about $500 under Carvana when we sold) and the prices had gone up by about $2000 for the Acura and about a grand for the Civic.

But - I still get those CARMAX repair reports from the Acura and the new owner put new brakes all around and did another tranny flush (odd, because it wasn't time), so for me, between those costs, the property taxes and insurance it is close to a wash.

Still, this can't keep going because cars are far overpriced.

Vroom and carvana both recently offered me about 4K less for my R (42ish vs 38ish) than they did in late June Only has 700 more miles.

It's great if you don't need a car, but if you do....

Lol we have four cars and a pimp ass 105cc motorcycle between two drivers.... and I’ve been working at home for 7+ yrs

Problem is I actually like my GTI.

You're privileged.

Sell one of the other three then?

 

[max_power]

I think I am about to do this. We will see what they offer me.

Privileged, or just worked our asses off like anyone can? ?‍

We each have two vehicles, no way my partner would sell the wagon. and they’d sooner separate from me than the Mini. That leaves us with the Tacoma and the GTI... and I could buy another GTI for what I’d likely loose selling the truck. So I’m stuck... but it’s not a bad place to be stuck.

if I could get car/booster seats in the back of a BRZ, this would be a done deal.

I’ll just wonder and want while enjoying my VW.

Unless you are way underwater on the Taco, I see no way that you could lose money - 4Rs and Tacos are like gold these days.

Taco has been paid off for years. It’s the level of mods that id take a bath on. Stock Taco, sure, mine isn’t stock.

Is that the Habitat? Nice overland setup but you’re right no market is that good to recoup just what I can see in this photo.

It is a Habitat, took delivery in 2017. Kids go wackadoodle when they see the truck come out of winter storage.

That pic is valley of the gods at the tail end of our 18 day trip this summer. Los Alamos to Moab via 4-corners/Natural Bridges/Bears Ears, 90% off pavement.
