Nuts!
« on: 12 June 2025, 19:15 »



So, a nice but no options car at 19,500 miles. Don’t know how many owners.

25 grand.

An appreciating asset if anyone’s interested.

I am watching good 7.5s doing pretty well now.

Even if it’s 20% overpriced that’s crazy

Asking £25k for a 5.5 - 6 year old Golf is one thing. Actually getting the asking price for it is another matter…….

I’ve had an insurance pay out today for a stolen 7.5 for £1000 more than I paid for it 6 months ago - market is mad!

I wonder what prices will do as we steadily move in the direction of 2030 and VW continue to lose interest in selling anything but EVs.

Incidentally, I read somewhere this week that VW, along with BYD, is near the top selling EV brand in the U.K. according to latest stats.

Going back to this advertised car, it’s the opposite of clickbate where you get an unrealistically good offer to hook your interest.

But there will be someone out there who will love the shine and stick it on finance.

Bought a VW approved MK 7.5 19 Plate Golf R from VW Derby with 44,000 miles September 2023 and paid less for it than similar are going now at VW Derby.

Personally put it down to how good the MK 7.5 is, VW took the really good MK 7 and just added enough touches and tech to basically nail it.

Opposed to the dogs dinner of the early MK 8 which are at least couple year younger, less mileage, but cheaper in some places.

Know many say they drive better than the MK7 series, but I personally would not take the risk on one due to the issues, and as MK 8.5 are obviously new and pricier, you look to the next best alternative, late MK 7.5's

Eventually the MK 8.5 will be the used option, and MK 7.5 will drop, but for now, residuals will remain strong for at least a couple of years.

Nightmare, was it recovered or gone never to be seen again?
Is your insurance asking for additional security measures to be put in place?
