Agree they are great vehicles and not having a pop at you at all but the above statement should read that the oldest new model is retailing at 4k below cost, what the owner got for it will be very considerably less.
This does of course apply to all cars but I really can't see a 6 year old Touareg reaching 15k on a trade in.
The comment on the X3 is spot on, not enough for too much money.

Equally not having a pop....but....
Retailing at £4k less than list price....you are right that an owner wouldn't get that as a trade-in, but then equally you would not expect the owner to have paid list price...!!!
Agreed not possible to get £15k trade in, I was talking retail price.
Our own personal example was purchase price of £38k, private sale of £16k.
Glad we agree on the X3!!!!!
Oh and Roger, if you think the X3 looks good value, then a Touareg at £38,170 list (including acres of space, leather, satnav, bluetooth, Dab, heated seats, folding mirrors etc etc) is a bargain!!!
