Queen of the Road: Hello there! Let’s get you some wholesale VW prices…
For a 2007 Volkswagen Passat 4C Value with 23,700 miles, prices range from $16,800 (being in above average condition) to $15,700 (being in average condition) and $14,600 (being in below average condition).
Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $16,200 to $18,700.
Hmm. $17,000 isn’t too high, but it isn’t a steal. Drive the price down a bit and let us know if they budge.
