Thanks Lee, VW have finally caught up with other marques.
A useful tool.

Full sticker prices are terrifying. Nearly £50k for a Clubsport GTI or £60k for an R.
Thank goodness for fat discounts.

With used cars dropping away quickly in value now that the bubble has burst on silly inflated prices the depreciation on some of those R’s and Clubsports would be even more terrifying than their sticker prices, you’d lose an easy £10k in year 1 alone. Arteon R’s listed for over £63k?
What sort of discount would you even get on a £57k R to make it even vaguely affordable?

And this is leading towards VWUK fixed pricing structure too.

I spotted a bargain £45k Clubsport in bright yellow! Not sure whether to love or hate that but I didn’t realise you could get one in that colour.

New car prices are completely mental now.

I had no plans to keep my Mk7.5 as long as I've had it (6 years). But it's the only way to keep the depreciation anywhere close to value for money.
