Its actually £21k but I was rounding. Part ex offered of 2.5K for mine which is not bad for px but I'm contemplating selling privately.
I thought I wanted a Octavia VRS/Scirocco R...bought an S4

Assuming there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s worth what you paid for it at least.
Yeah its the limited edition one too (number 472), runs lovely. Slight crease in the bumper and the spoiler has faded (common fault) everything else is spotless.
It's a diesel too, which is going to affect resale value in the current drive against diesels.
A quick check on Autotrader suggests they are selling for ~ £5k from a dealer, without the additional bodywork issues. I'd say £3k - £4k is a fair price for a private sale.

Agree with the above, it's a very easy £1000-£1500 to be made from going private and these days it's hardly any hassle at all. Sold all 4 cars privately and the first person to actually come and see them bought them straight away.
Heck, with a good description and plenty of photos just stick it in on eBay with no reserve and you'll be suprised. Obviously make sure the listing ends at a decent time, etc.

Private reg has come off today so it'll be for sale shortly. A no reserve would make my bum twitch.
Just set the reserve / starting point at the trade in value then.
Cheers guys - appreciate the advice!
So yesterday I spent 5 hours of test driving and negotiating and can say I am now the owner of an S4 (pics to follow). Very happy with my deal, I think in the end the sale man was happy to see the back of me. I don't think I've ever drove a car that puts a bigger smiler on my face.
Congrats, Will be nice to hear from another S4 owner
I'm guessing the S4 club is full of smiling faces. Any excuse for a drive at the moment.

Have to say the S4 don't disappoint me when i drive it. I get out with huge grin on my face. i actually find excuses to drive it anywhere..even just to the shop
As a rule, yes.
Mine might be 20 years old in a few months but it still knows how to please.

Sounds like my ex girlfriend.
You call your girlfriend 'it'?
