Finance houses tend to view anything perceived as "special edition" as having a lower future value (same happened with the ED40 CS), then factor in the end of the model run and the algo's will be predicting a hefty price drop at resale.

That was the only conclusion I could come up with too.

Oh well, back to "Golf alternative" shopping!

I had the chance to order - this morning.

But the numbers were so bad I've had to leave it - as much as I really wanted a TCR.

Cheaper, more future proof, faster, plusher inside... but not as much fun!
The 135i is a great choice though (still prefer the TCR personally but sense would say to get the BMW instead)


******************************

There must be some great deals on in stock Golf R’s about which would keep under the £40k tax and it’s still an amazingly accomplished car that is very satisfying to own and drive plus will keep decent residuals.


we'll all be riding in Johnny cabs and car ownership will probably have gone the same way as keeping a horse has  :grin:

 :grin:  so true!

End of a great era as far as Golfs go.

0% finance on Golf has really exceeded the expectations of the brand and orders have been flying in filling all UK production slots.

Thanks  - I have an order under way and have been given a 0% quote - I have also asked to be accepted on this scheme. However, how do I or others actually know if the 0% will be honoured?? Reason I ask is that I am concerned that the 0% was offered and became very popular according to the above, but what if after accepting those many orders and with customers assuming they are getting 0%, VW decide to pull that plug on that offer - Can they withdraw the finance offer after orders have taken place? My dealer has simply said that is the current finance offer but could be withdrawn at any point which is not very reassuring. I hope VW would stand by what was offered at the order point! Evo1986 are you able to clarify as much as you are able to ?
cheers

Hopefully Evo or others can reassure me?

If you've been given finance figures and you've ordered on the basis of those then that's what you should get. I ordered mine on Sunday but was given the finance figures printed out along with an order number(suspect they've hijacked another order for mine).
