Its all relative the 2.5% hike. GTi will increase by another £800 approx.
Even 2nd hand motors go up in value too.
But me personally dont see the point buying Brand new car. You loose 3k the minute you turn the key. 
But new car smell is nice , but lasts about 1-2 month 
2nd owner within 12 months old buys a good Bargain usually.
Unless you can get 15% off that brand new GTD, then it becomes worth more when you drive it off the forecourt, than you paid.
