Hi all. I have been reading this forum for years, I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have a 2007 polo GTI. I believe it's the black edition, interior is all dark with red stripes. I unfortunately have to sell this vehicle as I have started a business and need a bakkie. The vehicle is not standard, but I don't actually know what was done, it has a forge intake kit, it pops abit and it's really quick. What is an acceptable value for such a vehicle?
210000km
Black magic color
17" rims
4 door with sunroof

Hello and welcome to the forum.
A quick check on Autotrader for a 2007/2008 Polo GTi returns just one example with that mileage. It has 220 000 km and is advertised at R120k.
I would imagine that an inability to properly advise what changes have been done on the vehicle might make it less appealing to a prospective buyer, meaning they'll be haggling on price. Obviously need to also take into account the general condition and vehicle history.
My guess is that you might end up having to take R100k to get the car off your hands. Let's see if other chaps have different ideas.
