New 18 plate
« on: 03 February 2018, 20:29 »
Hi all,

I ordered a MK 7.5 GTI back in early November 2018 and have just received an update that its arrived in the UK. I imagine it'll reach the dealer within the next week.

Is it worth picking the car up now with a 67 plate, or asking if the dealer can delay until the new 18 plate in 3 weeks time?

Is an 18 plate really worth the wait...?

Thanks!

No!
I picked mine up yesterday and I haven't stop grinning.
It might be worth £300/400 more in a couple of years if it's a 18 plate but depends how long you're keeping it.
Enjoy now, it's worth it.

Life's too short.  It will still be the same car, just 3 weeks older.

I'd wait a few weeks and get it registered as an 18 plate.Not being a plate snob or anything but purely from a resale value point of view. :smiley:

I'd wait because I am a plate snob :laugh: When I got mine on a 15 plate it was an ex-demo and I picked it up the day before the 65 plates were out, it was rather annoying :rolleyes:

By the time its arrives at your dealers, if say sometime next week perhaps, then it has its PDI etc surely you are only talking about a week or two max to 1st March

Be crazy to rush registration before IMO.

If it was me and I was leasing, I’d have it as soon as it was available (on a 67 plate). If I was buying, as March is less than a month away, I’d wait for an 18 plate for the slightly better resale value when the time comes to sell.
