Mk4 Depriation

[Mikester]

Would you say that mk4's have done there big hit of the depriation with the realese of the mk6, and the mk6 gti coming out soon? The prices are coming down, being able to get a 1.8t for 4k but the R32 is staying 10k+ even thought people are getting poorer?

Thoughts?

how much is the average of a mk5?

It all depends on state and milage tho.

i bought mine for 4.5k, a year ago

[Mikester]

i suppose my question is, if i buy into a mk4 now do i still stand to loose a lot % wise.

As if you bought a mk5 now, i would say you would loose a lot year on year on year that you pay off buying it.

well when i bought mine 3 yrs ago it was £10,500 1 owner fsh 23k on the clock in immaculate condition

and others with higher milleage etc were the same price if not more,

now you can pick a tidy one up for 4/5k bit annoying but only one yr left on finance wouldnt want to guess what mine is worth now

[Mikester]

Think that answers my question then, not bad, I dont like the way the look of the mk5 mk6 is going, so i think i would like to buy into a 53 / 54 plate mk4, as it still is a relativly new car and there are still good buys around.

Not sure what though, 1.8t / ani etc. Would have to look into it, just waiting for a phone call to say when i join the force now! haha then i can rape the banker manager into giving me a loan

Cheers

Which bank? I will warn them to expect you!! 

oh and mk4 prices do seem to be falling fast at the mo (with mk3 prices being so low for the last couple of years..I guess the 4 had to follow as there was a big difference in values!)
I have seen several mk4 1.8t's at £1.5-2k recently which is a good 30% less than a year ago!! Will they fall more??  I guess by the end of the summer they'll be down to £1200-1500 starting price

Plenty out there with low mileage that are 02+ for that sort of money.

There a few R32's with FVWSH and around 50k miles going for about 8.5k. In around september when i want to buy, this might be a more commen starting price. As on renewal these will be in my budget for insurance, getting a lot of companies quoting around £1100 on them, and i pay just a tad more than that on my mk3 8v with HIC who i havnt asked yet.
