Finally progress.
Yes I do normally get a good discount, I think I’m on my 8th new car with the same sales rep and my Dad and brother have had a fair few - Dads a bigger spender than me 😂😂
But I’m also led to believe the GTD is still very sort after and the second hand market is crazy at the min.

Yes, market is still crazy. Ran my Tiguan for 18months and 4k miles and sold it for £1500 more than paid! That was a tdi 200 Rline.

Even through these strange times I’ve still only ever lost money on cars, story of my life!  :grin:
Probably just a little bit less of a loss than previously.

I think it does effect your value as to where you are in your finance agreement if on finance / PCP as I know my Dad has lost a few times but he’s swapped cars within a year to 18 months of swapping.
The biggest loss he’s had was on a Tiguan and now currently on his GTX ID5.

I guess if you’re doing the PCP thing it’s good to give the VW sales person a workout to see what equity they can build into a deal to keep the cars turning over. Sounds like your family are very loyal VW fans so your sales exec looks after you all well and vice versa.

With current lead times you’d better start planning your next car whilst your new GTI is still waiting for the ferry!

This is what I’ve said 😂 as soon as it lands I might to order a Tiguan R if I can but by the time that arrives something else new might me on the market. 🤯
