I've just been reading Auto Express...
I've read several threads on here with people wondering whether to wait a couple of weeks to get a 10 plate instead of a 59. Theres a wee bit about it in this weeks magazine.
"You'll recall the drop in values of used cars registered just before we changed from the Y prefix to the 51 plate. The same happened 20-odd years earlier, when we moved from suffix to a prefix.
I'm sure that we'll see something similar every 10 years under the current scheme. By 2012, a 59-ref car will be less desirable than one with reflects the current decade - ie a 60-reg."
VW have a price increase after Christmas this is above the VAT increase.
I will be ordering my GTI in January in the hope I can negotiate a good deal. I hope to get the GTI in the spring when the better weather arrives.
Reg dates don’t bother me I think the year is more important to be honest when a prospective buyer comes along when selling.
