What are thoughts on waiting for 66 plate? Dealer reckons it will be here in 2-3 weeks. Get 16 plate or wait a couple of weeks?

Were you born in '66?  If so it might be nice to have something meaningful to you.  Otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Buy a private plate, then the 16/66 plate won't matter.

If you're buying it i'd wait. A 66 plate is going to be worth more than a late 16 plate that'll be 3 weeks older but will look 6 months older when the new plate is out. You should see at least £700 more for it if sold privately or traded in when you get shot of it. I'd wait.

Yeah this is what I was thinking. Thought the difference would be less though. Will test my willpower in a couple of weeks!

It may be as much as a grand, but will certainly be at least half the difference between a March 16 and a September 66 plate. If there was 2 months to wait i'd say go get it, but for a matter of 2 weeks, i'd wait.

Can anybody confirm if there is still a vw loyalty bonus for current owners. Just spoken to the vw clown at my local dealer who denied any existance if such a thing, past or present.

Going back to the voluntary hand back. My GTD PCP is due to expire end of the month. I can exercise my right to end no later than 20 August. Anyone ever done this how 'harshly' do they scrutinise the car on hand back? This option means no payment for excess mileage but a scuffed alloy may be charged for. Also given that I will need to rent a car in the interim between handing back and my new R coming.

Other alternative is to hand it back at the end of the term and pay approximately 500 for mileage excess. My issue is I have a scuffed front left alloy. The rest of the car will be polished and scratch free.

In a nutshell what will be the cheapest option.
