Where are used car prices with the MK8 launch and other worldly troubles?

next Julember.

funny but totally ridiculous at the same time.
"When will my 40 grand vehicle arrive?"
"No idea mate"

Tempted to go through with cancelling it? Or would there suddenly be some contract terms against it?

I'm still tempted but then I'd be cutting my nose off to spite my face  . VW UK have told me today that is actually port of tynes fault as they are only allowing one vehicle carrier into port at a time. Girl didn't know what to say when I told her that two vehicle carriers were in the port together last week. Besides, Port of Tyne website says they are fully open for business. VW just treat customers with utter contempt.

wouldn't be going off WBAC prices. They are offering people well below correct values as they know some people will be desperate to sell due to job losses etc.

Fair point.

I was just using them as that was the original buying agent I'd tried.

I know a couple of dealers that might offer more if that’s your plan in selling rather than handing it back to dealer 

Thats a possibility. I'll keep that in mind cheers.

Could try motorway.co.uk too👍

Yeah they were not bad actually. £500 more. Are they a decent outfit I've never heard of them?

I actually only found them by accident when trying to sell my brothers qushqai. They were 1200 more than WBAC.

Interestingly WBAC have emailed me saying my valuation has just went up by £1400!!

How does that work?

I had the same last year with a Toyota Aygo I bought to save putting miles on my Clubsport. In summer of last year the value was around £3300 then in January this year I ran a valuation purely out of interest and it was 4895. I was up early the next morning cleaning the thing and I sold it a few hours later for 4450 so they definitely adjust their prices based on retail supply and demand to a greater extent than main dealers.

That’s to get you in there door and they know if your there a few quid off for marks and stuff will probably not bother as your already there

From personal experience and observation I contend that WBAC is the most cynical and manipulative business operating in the motor trade arena.

So.......here we are on 1 July 20. Any thoughts on when orders might open for the Mk8 GTI? And delivery?
Just trying to breathe life into the forum.....
