Hi, I'm thinking of trading in a MK6 Golf TDI DSG for a new MK6 Polo 77TSI DSG. The thing is, can I do it?
The fully almost optioned Golf should be worth around $33k and the Polo is around $23k.
Do you think the dealer would give me $10k change? Has anyone done something like this before? Trading in an expensive car in exchange for a cheaper car. Thanks!
expect to get $3-4k less from a dealer than you'd get on a private sale, because they will want profits, and also have higher overheads/expenses on resale of used cars than someone selling it as a private buyer would.
Redbook puts a 2011 103TDI Comfotline DSG trade in value at $23k - $26k

Expect to get less than you expect - and a lot of aggravation - from a private sale. The PRIVATE used car market here in Aus is the pits. I would have broken even with a trade-in every time. I think I've learned my lesson. Sorry to be such a downer... It was a lot better and easier overseas.
