The market is saturated with box-standard cars (no options), but throw some desirable options into the mix and the landscape dramatically changes. It used to be options retained circa 20% of their value, but on the 7.5 I’d estimate it’s currently circa 70%!
Agreed. About two months ago I bought a 67 plate PP DSG with 13k miles for just under £23k. On the face of it that seems a lot but it came with dynaudio, DCC, art velours, climate screen, keyless, camera, met paint, seville wheels and more. I had been looking for a well specced GTI for several months but they are very thin on the ground compared to the tons of bog standard models, most were obviously ex-lease and PCP handbacks. I was also surprised with the number of non-PP cars out there.
