That's pretty much what I wrote last year when I sold the family MkV GTI, except my trade in offer from the dealership was $6500. I had the past 5 years or so's worth of service records (the Old Man lost the earlier ones, but they're retrievable from the dealership.) It was already the cheapest GTI with the lowest mileage on CL at the time, and you'd still be surprised by how many frickin cheapa$$es there are to make insultingly low offers. A lot of them also don't seem to understand that I could have gotten a better deal from dealer trade in. In fact, that's what I did with another family vehicle -- the "best" private sale offer I got was $500 lower than what I got from the dealership, I so said "screw you" and just gave the car to the dealer.
