Congrats Michele and Paul, the advance party on ordering. 😁
Mad or not, as long as it’s affordable you might as well buy the car you want.
I sat and watched the first couple of YouTube vids earlier on UK specific speccing from the usual suspects.
For someone that spends a lot of time driving, reviewing and researching - one of them didn’t seem to know one end of a car to the other. That one was abandoned half way through.
Thankfully the other one was far more switched on. Like Mr Chapple himself I’d been looking forward to the Ed50 ever since I had my Ed40, and like him I think I’ll sit this one out for the foreseeable.
For a laugh, as it’s been raining here all day so stuck indoors, I pumped in a PCP quote on VW UK. Using a guesstimate part-ex value on my current car (on PCP but maximum deposit/equity) my fairly modestly spaced Ed50 would cost nigh on double what I pay now per month which would be £10k give or take over the 48 months. The Ed50 would have to have an enormous retained value to narrow the difference in ££££ for me to even remotely consider it.
I’ll take my pleasure in seeing other people’s on here instead! Funnily enough I always get far more excited seeing other people order and receive their cars than I ever do my own.
