3 years minimum  :laugh: hopefully.... I opted for 4 years warranty and PCP over 3 years. Anybody how long GTi generations get updated?
Every for years?

5 Years - Planning on an AMG Merc next, probably the new C63 (here is hoping!).

The money I'd be losing if selling after 3 years is too scary to think about, but spread of 5 is a little more bearable. :-)

Good point, forget the 3 years bit, I'll wait until the next facelift comes out for the vag models

I wonder how the residuals will hold up with all the excellent press reviews. I was one of the first to order a Scirocco back in 2008 and managed to only lose 3k from my invoice price after 2.5 years of driving. If the GTI holds it value well I would certainly consider moving it on sooner rather than later..

With the amount of mileage I shall be doing my residuals will be pretty poor  :nerd: approx 20k pa
To be fair I have a 2nd Golf too which is my weekend car, so could sell both in the future perhaps... I'm going to just get my GTi and enjoy it as long as possible.

Don't think you would be to worried about depreciation if you can afford a C63  :shocked:
