My long GTI Story So Far...

VW is doing the 15,000 service as part of the price. Stamp duty and rego still need to be paid.

Of course ... buying the second-hand one means that the initial (large) depreciation of taking a new car off the showroom floor is minimised. Ppl talk about how much they'll get when they sell their near new vehicle ... but much of it is wishful thinking.

Indeed, going by dreamsales.com.au prices at the moment.

Getting a decent discount off the new car though will minimise the depreciation of driving it off the showroom floor.

Lets hope that the people buying 2nd hand dont know about this forum....

I did go 2nd hand. The saving was worth it for a car that still has the new car smell.

Thanks for all your tips and advice!
