Jeeze, its gonna price me out of the VW market when it comes to renewal time, I think - unless I get some good payrises in the meantime.

Think I may be keeping the GTD after the 3 years

Start looking for a new job evo.Another £300 increase to a GTi price

Car sales are gonna plummit at those prices next year for all manufactures

2nd hand car sales will benefit for less new car sales happening

2nd hand car sales will benefit for less new car sales happening

Untill the supply of newish used cars dries up due to people not buying new, which will undoubtedly push up used prices as well.

which will mean those that do have a new car.. will also retain their higher value for longer. Hang on a minute... doesnt that mean that both new and used cars will essentially be higher due to the increase??

Evo - you looking to push a bit more stock for your Christmas bonus?

[Snoopy]

Be luckie if he has anything to sell at all with factory build to delivery times that just seem to get worse each year.

Interesting that you say that Lee, how many customers do you get through the door that are horrified at that waiting time and how many just shrug it off owing to having been told a similar story at Ford/Vauxhall/Peugeot/Citroen/BMW/Volvo dealers? Or are these manufacturers able to get builds much quicker?
Are SEAT/Skoda/Audi any quicker?
