Depends if they make any revisions
MY14 cars will be built from June / July onwards so there may be some slight changes in spec.......
Equally, in my opnion, you should be ordering a car to enjoy, not worry about what its worth when you come to sell it.
If thats your main worry I'd wait buy 2nd hand as the main depreciation will have taken place. That and any early production niggles will have been sorted
Most people worry what their car is worth when they come to sell it. Buying any car less than 3 years old and your depreciation will usually be higher than your fuel bill. It is the most costly purchase most people will make in terms of depreciation as houses don't (generally) depreciate like cars do.
Many VW owners buy them partially due to their higher than average residuals as well as for the car itself. VW nearly new prices usually mean that an ex-demonstrator costs you nigh-on as much as a brand new one if you managed to negotiate a discount on the new one. If VWs depreciated like Fords and Vauxhalls I certainly wouldn't be buying one, no matter how good they were.
Changes in spec on a MY basis usually doesn't affect the value by much unless a major revision has come in, like when VW start giving away free leather seats on cars heading towards the end of their model life. Minimise VW depreciation by minimising the extras - they add almost nothing to the used value. I considered ordering Leather on my current car but my dealer advised me taht for the £1740 cost, it would enhance the used value by just £300 at trade in time - very poor value. Always better to buy the next trim level up if it includes a lot of the speccable extras you are looking at. a late 11 plate is not worth much less than an early 61 plate for a Golf/Scirocco GT/GTD, there'll be a difference of around £250 per month's age difference e.g. Jul 11 (11 plate) Golf is worth £500 less than a Sep 11 (61 plate Golf).
