Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • would you sell? limited use, 12 months

    Hi guys,

    I have a superb 206 2016, fully optioned + 5 year wty + 5 yr servicing
    i'm considering starting a new job, but I wouldn't need the car at all.
    Wife and I have another car.
    Approximate costs of rego/insurance/deprectiation/interest on the loan is ~13k for 12 months - which seems a lot.

    nb: total family km per year would go down to ~18,000km after changing jobs.

    so its probably a dumb question, but, lets do a poll!

    It’ll depreciate a lot unfortunately, but that is the name of the game. If you can afford to wear the depreciation, and only need one car, then reducing the outgoing expenses makes a lot of sense.
    Cheers
