How did the dealer quote it?
2017 Volkswagen Golf, used · 7th generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $14,829 to $18,635, from 53 similar cars in Canada this month (14 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Hi, I am interested in the 2017 Golf listed at $17,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $14,829 and $18,635 at this mileage, typically around $16,732. Would you take $16,732? I can come in this week.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $14,829 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2016 saves about $1,545 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 14 of the 53 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (2 comparable cars at this 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.
