Superb resale value

[PassatB6]

Just got a couple of trade in offers on my Skoda Wagon (V6). Registered Feb 11 (not quite 26 months old). Cost me $63k - 57,000 km

Drum roll........

$21,900 & $20,000. Worth 34% of original value after 2 yrs. Got to be up there with the worst performing resale values of any car on the market.

That is odd because not only are the values you quoted significantly below Redbook values but your vehicle won the best value Large car under $65k in the 2012 Wheels Gold Star Awards based upon resale. Maybe your experience differs. Bad luck, I guess.

Is it a 2010 or 2011 build? If it is a 2010 then it is effectively a 3 year old car. I am buying a new motorbike and have a 1996 BMW to sell. All the dealers say they treat the red book with a pinch of salt these days (as far as bikes go) as the market is so picky. I was offered over $1,000 (22%) above the red book value as a trade in.
