I can't see the market for buying a 2nd hand car at £40k which has no back seats and has probably been tracked and ragged being particularly big. The normal clubsport makes much more sense as a used purchase

And when it comes to sell in a years time  :rolleyes: who's going to care if it was 2nd in ECOTY. 2nd is not 1st  :wink:

Craig the market value is based primarily around supply and demand multiplied by market forces and as such should guarantee strong future values until market forces change as the other two denominators are pretty much set in place ... regarding using "no back seats" as a reason not to buy, this is not true as all CS-S were allocated pretty much before launch. You say that values will drop as cars will be "ragged" ... in reality this will only increase the values of cars that are well maintained, the GT3 market is testament to this scenario, however there will also be a market for the "cheaper" ragged cars as they will be a lower entry point for the young kid with his heart and soul wanting a CS-S ... Either way you look, for the foreseeable future it's - Win Win  :smiley:

I suppose only time will tell if it's been a good investment or not. I'm not trying to rubbish the CSS but I just don't see the point of it. It was purely an exercise by VW to try and obtain the ring record and in my eyes they cheated (wouldn't be the first time  :grin:) by removing the rear seats. I think the majority of folk would probably take an R over a CSS. As for a young kid having his heart set on a CSS, its no bloody good showing off to your mates when you can only get one of them inside

No claims history on these which should help and limited numbers and lack of rears should deter the criminals wanting something that walks over plod in their i20s.

R insurance fell victim to scrotes steeling these, insurance never ceases to amaze as the M2 is less than my 3 door R was.

Wow ... M2 less than an R - that's a good deal - I was too presently surprised at the premium of the GT4 @£800 and CS-S at £240  :smiley:

Wigit - especially in the wet ... ECOTY commented on the M2 being quite tricky to balance in the wet - on my test drive it was dry and a great car, incredible acceleration but even then you had to be respectful to the rear end, I guess if you love drifting then it's the king for that  :shocked:

That seems alot for a GT4 maybe add a female driver or a different version of your job title. Ive had quotes for GT4s a few times and its only being between 500-600.

Snoopy. I doubt it, as with GT4 need a guarteed future value which is also something to think about regarding the CS-S ...?!!
