Change Club Sport for TCR?

[09GTI]

So looking for some opinions
I’ve a 2017 clubsport ( without buckets ) which is mint and I love it but I’ve an option on a pure Grey TCR with black roof and with the pan roof , pro nav , keyless and that pack that has the 19” reifnitz Matt black wheels , and also that blind spot monitoring thing and tinted windows , camera etc
The car itself is 5k euro more than the clubsport was so a bit of an increase for not s lot really but I’m still tempted but not sure if it’s worth it
Any opinions are welcome
Cheers

No chance, I wouldn't even consider it.

Is the 5k euro the difference in new prices or what you’d now have to pay to switch?

Never thought I would say this, but bearing in mind the two specs, I would get the TCR.

Same. Haven’t even bothered to cost one up. Would wait for the rush to end if I were interested too.

The 5k difference is the new price difference between club sport and TCR
The actual cost to change is 53k euro new TCR , trade in of clubsport 31k euro so 22k euro - so club sport has depreciated by 17k euro in 2.5 years

53k Euros?!! It’s not April 1st till Monday!

I take it the OP is in Ireland...

Yep, a TCR with a couple of options ticked is north of 50k here!

I think you’d be crazy. 17 grand depreciation in 2 years. You’ve suffered the worst of the depreciation curve and you’re actually tempted to do it again. Keep the CS another year and you’ll still be getting offered near 30k for it - i.e. you’ve taken the worst of the hit already.

Clubsport prices look pretty solid now. I found a nice one for £27k but got a year left on my lease or I’d be tempted. TCR will drop. OP would have to be crackers (or completely loaded!) to swap now.

OP, sorry, I can't think in Euros, €22k is around £19k, I think about it like this, for the price difference you could get a 2.5 year old GTI with 20k miles, not that you would, but you need to be rich or mad to swap a year old car for a new one basically the same for that cost. But I'm not you and know nothing of your circumstances so that amount of money might mean nothing but I definitely wouldn't do it. Plus, longer term I would think the CS would hold it's money better (disclaimer, I'm rubbish at investing so are likely to be wrong ).
