Keep the order as it is. If you have to sell a GTI in 2 years it won't exactly be difficult to do so. They'll be ripe and ready for the used car market by then.

Good news bad news.

Just been offered a new job which has option to have a car or the allowance..  And the car list is audi, vw and bmw only.

Chances are after 3 years will have to move abroad with the company for a while so is it sensible to go and buy the gti with my own money ?

Or do I get a gti on the car scheme... Or maybe convert to GTD ?!



Will you be doing a lot of miles with the new job?
Help !!!!

No not really for work, would be mostly personal use.

Tempted to just sick with my deal and run the gti, having said that the low emissions of the gti make it quite attractive as a company car..

If it were me and not doing many miles, I would stick with my personal order, especially as your allowance will cover your PCP. (Mine is a company car so this is a considered response)  :smiley:

So they're rating the GTI as a more premium car to the GTD then? :lipsrsealed: :whistle:

Makes the decision easier right?  Keep your GTI and the allowance!

It think it may be more down to company car tax rather than what the company perceives as the cars status?

A lot of companies only offer diesel options for company car nowadays, which is why I took the cash allowance and ordered a GTI  :evil:

Quiet, both of you!  I'm trying to conclusively show that the GTI is better than the GTD here and you're ruining it! :evil:
