We all know we should be trying to haggle the first years depreciation at a garage if we can manage it, and we all know that as soon as we drive our car's out the garage the value immediately drops, but has anyone thought that the value of the GTI will actually not change at all by the end of the year ?
The reported 3% rise by VW in Sept/Oct, and the 2.5% VAT going back on on 31st Dec, rumoured to be more than 2.5% but i doubt it.
So the GTI's will be 5.5% more expensive by 1st Jan 2010.
As long as the £ doesn;t go nuts again or VW drops the GTI to a crazy price, the GTI's bought just now should still theoretically be worth the same or roughly the same a year on from purchase.
