Would I be mad to?

[Cossieian]

Just off the phone with my dealer, he can offer me the following new factory order for £1k and my car, monthlies will go up £10, would I be mad to change or does it sound ok?
3 Door
DSG
Tornado Red
19 Prets
Winter Pack
High Beam Assist
Rear View Camera
Apple Car Play
Gloss Black Mirrors
3 Year service Pack

I will gain 19 Prets, high Beam, Camera and Apple car play over my current car, but will obviously lose Keyless as no longer available.

Sounds very similar to offer to had to replace my GTI with the same car. The deposit and loyalty contributions make things very interesting.  I ended up loosing the plot and ordered an R 😉

App Connect / CarPlay can be retro-activated on your current car. Assuming it's MIB 2?
You already have prets don't you?

I'd hate to lose keyless personally...

You've already got a set of Prets though?  Seems a bit mad to me but ETTO!

Not quite sure why you are asking for opinions as you already know that you're going to do it
You could sell your Prets very easily I'm sure.

I had 3 Sets of Prets to be exact, all of which are now Sold lol
The way I'm looking at it is if I was to pay £1k for a set of Prets if get a new car aswell in the deal ha ha ha

We're all the other sets substandard then?

Yes 2 sets were just OK Becs, 1 set was or as good as.
I'm too fussy sometimes it even annoys me.
I'm tempted to pay the £1k just for something to look forward to, if I don't have the postman arriving at least 3 times a week I'm not happy

Lol. 

Well I can't say I never buy stuff for the sake of it myself, as my detailing cupboard attests to, and the fact my daughter thinks the postman/courier guy is a member of the family, lol.  But when it comes to a car I personally like to hang onto it for a few years - 3 or 4 and really own it and get to know it intimately, and of course lavish all my detailing attention on it. Changing cars every few months is too transient for me.  I can sort of understand someone swapping early for another totally different car bit for one almost identical? Still, we are all different and if you can afford it, you should do what makes you happy. Life is short and you can't take it with you!
