What's it worth???

Evening all,
The time has come to upgrade the rocco to something more sensible for a family, currently looking at 14 plate rs4! But have no idea what mine is worth due to its spec and mileage.
It's a 2009 2.0tsi fully loaded with 12500 miles on it.
I'm thinking in the region of 10-12k mark.
What's everyone think?
Cheers, Phil

Am I reading that correctly, only 12,500 miles on an 09?
I thought mine was low, mine is an 09 but on 27K.
Despite that ultra low mileage I still think £10-12K is very optimistic. Assume you would sell privately but in the current market will probably only realise £8,500 - £10K. For a PX another £1,250 or so off those figures.
They are never worth as much as you think sadly.

Forgot to mention, does it have full VW Service history?

Haha yes you are, she's not done much. I've had an offer of 10k on px against a rs4.
Just can't value it off ebay due to the mileage and spec!

Yep, it's not done a right lot!

Take the 10k offer and run, but i'm guessing they have the RS4 on at top value and are taking a bit of a hit to give you a warm fuzzy feeling about your trade in (guessing its a main dealer)
Ultra low mileage won't add that much extra value to a £8,000 book value car, it may even put some people off as they will think it has only ever done lots of short journeys, or not had time/mileage to develop any faults yet

I would aim more for 11k, I can see bi-xenons, panoramic sunroof, folding mirrors and an optional body kit just from that picture and they're all sought after optionals.
Plenty of 2009-2010s on Autotrader with more mileage and less optionals for 10k.

I had the B7 RS4, the rear leg room for an estate is minimal but I did have the bucket seats which make this worse. I looked at the B8's and there wasnt much of an improvement. Something to consider if your looking at a proper family sized car, they are a rewarding drive though and sound the tits with an exhaust.
Saying that, anything is an improvement on the rear leg room of a Scirocco though.

Did you have the buckets? I heard the standard seats give more room in the rear somehow. I never sat in the back but anyone that did would always grumble and my daughter was forever kicking the shit out of the backseat the little shit.

No Standards, I think the Buckets would be a bit bulkier, I'm only 5'9" so maybe I create more space as well but had my 11 year old in there fine too

Thanks all, I think I'll advertise it for £12000 and at least I've got a bit to play with.
I went for a test drive in a RS4 B8 at the weekend, by heck! They are bloody good to drive and sounds awesome! I know what you're saying with the leg room in the back but it should be a few years before little feet appear (I hope!)
