Mk8 gti ordering

[mcmaddy]

PS my TCR quote from January 2020 was 4.9%... not quite sure why its so high now. Mind you the whole numbers of that one were eye watering.

I ordered my TCR in January the day before the books closed and got the 0% Apr on PCP.

No one likes a show off. 

😂. I was very lucky just getting my order in before books closed. I definitely wouldn't have bought it without the 0%.

So for the same money my brother’s been offered for a GTI he’s been able a Merc A35.

Which one exactly?

[king monkey]

A35 Premium I’ve been told. Means nothing to me!

[fredgroves]

Looks like without trying too hard a A35 premium is about 38k. Never could work out from Mercedes exactly what you get in terms of kit from that, but it is 300bhp and 4wd.

I've never got excited about a Merc though.

Me neither but this just further illustrates why the gti will struggle in my opinion. £470 down and £470pm over 4 years with 10k miles.

£470 per month over 4 years? That's over £22k, surely a GTi can be had for less than that?

He’s tried, struggled and ended up frustrated! With metallic paint, 19s and DCC it’s proving to be very difficult.

Its the deposit he's missing out on.... he's putting down the minimum, which boosts the monthlies and attracts a crap load of interest, which adds to the monthlies even more.

Need to increase the deposit or find an OEM offering a cheaper interest rate (or both!)

Yeah I get that but suppose his train of thought is that he can get a Merc for lower payments than the gti with minimal money in. More premium manufacturer in his eyes.
