I’ve noticed the flood of R20TH edition now for sale and dealers not shifting them ! Even some private sellers hoping to making a killing have now reduced their prices below the factory list prices.
VW tend to send a batch of special edition Golfs out to dealers as stock cars when they launch them, generally in standard spec. Pretty annoying if you have a car on order and have a long wait to see these jump the line, but that’s how it is.
They did the same with the Ed40 as there wasn’t exactly a rush of orders for them on launch, these sat at dealers for ages until VWUK ordered the dealers to register them ahead of the 7.5 launch in March 2017.
Good deals to be had once they were pre-reg’d but naff all discounts prior to that compared to a similarly priced 7R.
Similar to the Ed40 I’d imagine the base spec R 20Y cars sent to dealers as stock cars won’t be to the spec that people with £50k to spend on a hatchback would particularly want. No DCC (a plus in my opinion but not in anybody else’s!), no Akra, no H&K, no HUD, not even a rear camera…
