@TheReflex - trade in prices are always going to be lower, but that seems very low to me. Would you try to sell it privately yourself or even directly to a garage (not as a trade in)? There is a shortage of second hand cars at the moment, so garages are open to buying from private sellers.
What is the Stand?
Try ZUCAR.IE they will give you an online valuation and I found them competitive in the last year.
What you want to know is the cost to change, ignore the trade in price, or discount off the new vehicle, these are all distractions.
Call another dealer up, and tell them you have 30k in your back pocket, and find out what the cost to change is for a cash sale, so you have a comparison with dealer 1
Last point to consider, getting a punter to part with 30k in a private / sold-as-seen sale may not be easy in practice
Sell it privately or if you can't be bothered with the effort, sell it to the dealer but don't complain that the dealer is not making a better offer.
After all, in every transaction there is a willing buyer and a willing seller
Is 'stand' a reference to a car sales garage / forecourt? I'd never heard that term before.It's a midsized stand in the West,
Apologies, I mean it's not a dealership. Unsure what's the difference between a garage and a forecourt? I'd call "garage" those places where cars get fixed and servicedIs 'stand' a reference to a car sales garage / forecourt? I'd never heard that term before.
I tried zucar.ie following a recommendation on another thread. Not bad at all, a much better price than VW offered.What is the Stand?

No worries, just a term I hadn't heard before and I noted others asking. I guess they'd often be called independent dealers as opposed to those franchised ones tied to one or more main brands.Apologies, I mean it's not a dealership.

Really? I always feel dealers use the ‘cost to change’ figure as a way to obfuscate what you’re getting for your car and what you’re paying for the new one, so it’s more difficult for you to shop around for both figures independently to see how good the trade-in actually looks. In fact you seem to be suggesting this in your second paragraph?What you want to know is the cost to change, ignore the trade in price, or discount off the new vehicle, these are all distractions.
