2010 Volkswagen Golf, used
A fair price at 60,000 km is $10,071 to $11,671 (estimated), from 18 similar cars in Canada this month (3 already sold).
Comparable cars are selling for less. A reasonable counter is $10,871, the typical price at this mileage; $11,671 is the most you should pay.
Only 1 2010 Golf listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 7 cars) using how Golf prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2010 Golf listed at $11,995. Comparable ones in Canada with similar mileage have been selling between $10,071 and $11,671 this month, typically around $10,871. Would you do $10,871? I can come in this week.
919 used Golfs (2008 and newer) in Canada right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 2 look like good deals.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $10,071 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2009 saves about $2,497 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 3 of the 18 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 7 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
