To close this off, result I wanted.
I got a 2nd VW assessment, dealer were then ok to accept rejection and take it back, was highlighted by others it could have got messy but didn’t.

Unfortunately nobody told me it was being collected until 20mins before truck arrived. So driver had to wait until my wife arrived home with it tonight.
And I haven’t sorted replacement out as didn’t know when it was going

Me too.

And to really complete the loop.
Cars back up for sale, they bumped the price up and removed any mention of VW warranty.

Ah well, effectively I had use of a car for free for 2500 miles. Still looking for its replacement

Ian,

Probably bumped up the price as the residuals have been increasing.

If you have an Autotrader account, you can enter your reg/mileage and it gives you an indication of the price you would expect. I do this every month (just to compare it against the previous RS4 to see whether I would have gained/lost) and basing it on the Autotrader private price it has been steadily increasing since Covid.

So since a comparison from 1st July last year the Golf has depreciated by only £240 (if I kept the RS4 it would have depreciated by £3730).
If you compare from 9th March 2021 till today, the Golf has increased by £620.

All relatively speaking of course but gives a general comparison.

Bit of a strange world we live in at the moment as with Covid I would have expected the car market to have bombed but not the case (yet).

The X5 was all the way down at 8.5k earlier this year, it’s GMFV for the deal ending in February Is 12.5k, so massively upside down and heading for a VT when the Tesla was arriving. But done a WBAC recently and it’s up at 14k now. Market is balmy high just now. I’d get a good trade in on the M4 for that orange Exige 380 at parks :-)

I suspect that the stupid high costs of new cars (94grand for a new m4 with a decent spec), crippling tax on first registration, ridiculous pcp deals and Brexit (remember that) has finally banjaxed the new car market and boosted the used...

Rawsco,

Yep it crazy at the moment with new car prices

Was on the Land Rover configurator for the new Defender 90 to see what it would cost, not going particularly crazy I ended up at £67k

Ow wonder used cars are going up if it costs this amount to get into a new car, never mind what happens once Brexit kicks in for the prices.

Lockdown shutdowns across the manufacturing industry will be hitting supply chains all over the place. Manufactures likley taking a cautious approach to stock management and staffing for production runs, we are in unpreceded times, no manuals for covid economic impact and then there are EU uncertainty too. My 2p.

Buy a wee puddle jumper for her while you sort things out?

Campbell’s always right :thumbsup

Was going to Yorkshire Dales last Friday for long weekend, Porsché broke weekend before so went out Thursday and bought a ‘new’ car, an 18 year old one.

Now a Schhcoda man :D :love
