They really don't help themselves, VW, do they?

Exactly. Look at that compared to the 128 and it makes no sense really.

Mk8 GTi dsg on VW finance configurator over 4 years 10k miles p.a.

List price £34,960
Customer deposit £6,000 (£2,500 down payment + £3,500 discount)
Deposit contribution £1,250
Monthly payment × 47 @ £376.36
Total cost if handed back at 4 years £20,188.92 (assuming no equity).

Alternatively cash purchase via Coast2Coastcars.co.uk = £30,168 after discount.

Dealers I’ve bought from include the contribution in the discount already. Not sure you’d get both but love to think you would. Thanks for the figures Guzzle.

Based my expected discount figures on this;-

Ah. So Coast2Coast are offering better discounts than DTD at the mo. Thanks for the info.

King's Red, dcc, ninteens and hud... £32,755 assuming 3k deposit and guessing 5.3% and a gfv of 14k, it's about 450 a month for three years.

Which isn't horrific but I just can't love it enough to want it.

That feels sad, given that i bought my mk7.5 without a second thought after my mk7. Actually without seeing a mk7.5 in the flesh.

Just checked and a Mercedes A35 is cheaper on PCP due to a higher gfv and greater discount and dealer contribution. Who’s going to buy a gti? Some really stiff competition for the gti nowadays.

[king monkey]

On another note they’re arriving at dealers it seems...

[Guzzle]

It's the 5.4% APR and the low gfv's that's making it expensive on PCP.

At least it's not as bad as Audi's 6.1% APR on the S3. But it's still a bit of a Mickey take when BoE base rate is 0.1%. Even Skoda are offering 4.1% APR on the Octavia.

GFV for a GTI seems to be a couple of grand more than for a 128 which helps.  If that online calculator is halfway accurate it doesnt look like there is a lot in it when it comes to a base GTI vs a 128 with some options that somewhat normalise the specs.

I've not seen the BMW figures yet, I've still got quotes outstanding for both but the BMW interest figure is quite a lot less
