2015 65 plate GTD manual in TR. It's a completely standard car, but that gives a lot these days (nav, ACC, keyless, etc). Pre-reg VW DasWelt car with less than 50miles on clock. Bought from Arnold Clark VW in Glasgow. It seems all VW dealers in central Scotland are Arnold Clark, so didn't have a choice of company. I was looking at others from further away on VW DasWelt site, but for the age/price there wasn't many that came close to this one.
Cash price was £23450. I had my old fiesta to put in, which they gave me £3750 for (after talking them up from £3500) and £6500 cash. Remainder on finance (HP) which works out at £271 a month for 5yrs including 2yrs servicing.
5yrs is a long time I know, but I did a huge jump up from the Fiesta, and as its HP the car will be mine at the end of it. I also needed to keep the payments down as low as possible. Hoping to pay it off a year early as well. I figure (by checking the value of a 5yr old GTD) it should be roughly worth the deposit (cash + trade in) that I put in by the end of the 5yrs, so can then do the same again.
I think I'm quite happy with the deal I got, given the amount of cash + trade in that I had to put into it, guess it maybe could have been a bit better, but not by much.
Obviously Arnold Clark tried to sell me their gap insurance, but it was going to work out at double the cost of ALA, and for a year's less cover!
