How much does a used VW Golf go for?

The pricing range for a used VW Golf model at AutoUncle will start at £2,495 and go up to £16,995.

The price for a VW Golf is determined by five main factors: what year the car is from, engine size and power, fuel efficiency of the car, how many miles the car has travelled not to mention equipment.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than, for example, an older car without special equipment and with many kilometres behind it.

Does the VW Golf offer multiple trim lines?

When reviewing the price points of used VW Golf cars, it is important only comparing the deals of cars with a similar engine and equipment variant. Otherwise, you may reach a wrong decision on which car to buy.

What are the fuel options for the VW Golf?

Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the VW Golf.

The price difference between the most popular fuel variants:

• VW Golf petrol: 9 cars currently available with an average price of £13,194
• VW Golf diesel: 7 cars currently available with an average price of £8,518

We highly recommend thinking about your driving habits before deciding between the different fuel types. Do you find yourself driving more in urban settings or on open highways and expressways? How much distance do you travel in an average week?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For those who drive long distances and don't have access to charging, diesel cars can still be an option. Note that diesel engines with significant emissions have faced entry bans in cities across numerous countries.
