Crazy Thoughts
« on: 07 January 2016, 20:48 »
So with the new deals VW are now offering on the R ie £1250 Deposit Contribution, £1000 extra Trade in, lower APR @ 4.9%, I can't help but thinking of getting a price to change??

Even though my car is only 2 months old, wonder what the trade in value would be lol

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to pay what I'm paying per month but if I could get it for less then why not :laugh:

Crikey, I had to promise to keep my last car for at least 10 years to justify it's purchase to my OH :grin: As it was I kept it 12, my GTI, not sure, but at least 3 years. But 2 months? I think I get too attached to things and can't let go. Probably why me and OH have been together 25 years. Maybe it's time to trade her in for a newer model :evil:

Don't get me wrong dude I love the car and would order another one, but I just done a cost comparison based on the new deals, and the same car as mine would cost up to £60pm less than what I'm paying, kinda stings a bit :cry:

That's the danger of keeping looking. There's always going to be a better deal. Perhaps if you'd have bought a few months before you did you wouldn't have got as good a deal as you did. Your car looks fantastic, just enjoy it!

How much do you think you will lose on the purchase price of the first car if you try and sell it though?

That's the question I need the answer to, I'm sure I'll get a crappy price but maybe worth asking??

I'm heading to my dealer in the morning anyway for some Warranty work, might have to take a seat at the sales desk ha ha ha

I wasn't actively looking, but as most people know now these deals judge appeared and I could help but compare, I shouldn't have :laugh:
