Hi,
I have a January 2014 Gti on a 4 year pcp at present and stupidly inquired with the car dealer as to what it would cost to basically have the same car again. It turns out with a rather good 10% discount and £1250 deposit contribution I could have a new identical car for £40 / a month. I know changing to the same car seems pointless but we all like new toys!
any thoughts?

It does seem pointless to me I'm afraid but if you are happy with it then go for it. I think I would get very quickly bored of the same car
-
You should be able to do better than 10% off, I managed 15% before dieselgate. Try the usual broker sites to see what they will offer and negotiate hard with the dealer.
But why do you want exactly the same thing again?
-
I see your point. I guess I don't get bored with things when I like then, just the chance to have an even newer version for a fairly small financial penalty appeals :rolleyes:

There is nothing wrong with having the same car as your next car if you get me. I drive a CC at the minute(or at least I would if the repairers were finished with it) and I would have no problem ordering a new one if they were not bringing out a completely new one in the near future. Hell I would even order it in oryx white again.
For the £40/month do you get any extras over what you have at the minute? Also when does your warranty run out because that is something else to think about.
As already said 10% doesn't seem that great, I got offered over 18% off an R with most options ticked. The worst thing you could do is rush into anything on the spur of the moment.

Hi, Yes I would get keyless, winter pack and sat nav on the new car as standard. I am not looking at the R out of interest. Maybe £70 / £80 month extra is worth it for that car

Great deal but the same car again! nah, just like eating fish and chips for tea every night from the same chippy...you need to explore something new! :smiley:

Im seriously considering the R now :evil:

Depending on the toy count i'd consider leasing the R

Me too. It's unlike me to choose a bright colour like Lapiz blue, but it suits the car so much. Which colour did you choose?

I went for Pure White with a fair few options :)

There's a few of us all waiting for our R's to arrive then, love the Lapis Blue, great choice. :cool:

Out of interest what estimated delivery times have your R's been given from order to delivery to the dealer? I have about just under a six month wait for my R. That's with almost all options added on. So a car with less should theoretically have a shorter turn around, accounting for the dealer's monthly allocation as well of course. :smiley:

My Spec is similar with a couple differences which I believe may have contributed to my order being delayed last time i.e. Oryx White paint being one of them. It may also be due to me missing the dealers allocation when I ordered.

For me, it will be interesting to see if the lighter spec R's ordered later than mine get delivered much earlier? IT was the same scenario with my GTI PP, where lighter spec GTI's ordered a month or two after mine were being delivered earlier than mine.

Last time I found it was a case of the dealer having a slot already in the build system that they modified into my booking. It's funny though that when I am not in a hurry the order always seems to arrive quickly !
