White Allen Volkswagen

We were at White Allen Volkewagen today looking at a Passat Wagon. After deciding to pursue purchaing that vehicle, we asked them to give us their BEST offer for our trade-in, a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg. The salesperson commented on how clean, and what low miles for the year. After a brief wait, the sales manger and sales person met, discussed the trade in value and came back to us with their offer. We were told that the manger was giving us Kelly Blue Book value which we were told he does not always do. He then told us that they would give us aprox. $17,000 for our Touareg. The range of prices provided for trade in value on our vehicle correctly equipped, from this site and others was from $22,000 to $25,000 depending on condition (clean or better). Obviously there is a large discrepency, more than 30% actually. Our experience serves as a reminder to do your research before purchasing or trading in a vehicle. We were able to walk away without remorse.
