I would have thought that given the extras you have, the Tiptronic, the FSH, you should be getting at least £16,000.
Good luck

Grey Man,
Thank you for your advice and suggestion.

Watch out for the infamous coil packs failure on these 1.8T engines

I would personally treat any valuation from Autotrader, Parkers etc with a degree of scepticism- they are not always "real-world" prices and IMHO are often unduly optimistic.
|
|
That said register on the Autotrader site (by clicking through here of course :) and then doing a national search against criteria as close as poss to yours and you'll see a range of real prices that's about as close to market rate as you'll get
|
"a range of real prices that's about as close to market rate as you'll get"....I would agree, but bear in mind that these are the cars that HAVEN'T sold so maybe over-priced!! :-)
Seriously, this HAS to be the most reliable way of evaluating a car...
