A quick look on autotradrer shows a widely varied price range for nearly new octys. Some even trying to sell them for more than they are new! Good luck!

Anyone been affected by this?

Do we think prices will rise again come next year??

prices for all used motors are rising..people have been keeping their cars for longer because of the economy so theres simply not as many on the market

I wont be trading this new one in for at least another 3 years so nobody knows what the market is going to be like in 3 years time

hell, they cant even get the weather right a week in advance!

Yeah the missus has told me I have to keep this one for at least 3 years as the last 4 cars I have owned for less than 12 months.

Hop I have picked the right one! (VRS Octy CRD)

Gonna be tough keeping a car for 3 years!

My previous 2 cars I kept for 13 and 11 years (although I bought the second one 11 years after the first so there was a two year overlap when I had both of them)

Perhaps I get bored to easily :rotz:

I'll consider selling my car when the perforation warranty runs out in 2017... Or when my mortgage is paid off, whichever comes first...

Billy I really noticed this when I was purchasing the LE I was seeing 1 year old VRSs with 10K+ sitting on dealer forecourts for more money than the LE new with no milage and with the Leather and options (Cruise, Bolero, Maxidot, Anthracite) it had. The only thing a lot of cars had going for them was they were optioned to the hilt, here is one such car:

Skoda Octavia 2.0 Turbo FSI 200BHP VRS 5dr LT58OOB

These are the ones that I’d be looking at on dealer forecourts. But many were/are just standard VRS with a bit of mileage on them, will take a while for dealer prices to reconcile with the new no VAT 0% prices we see just now. I’d imagine the Parker prices will drop further in depreciation to redress the balance for dealers.

It was on the news that second hand cars are going up in value due to the scrappage scheme

Prices are all over the place to be honest , and the scrappage scheme is taking a lot of cheap cars out of the bottom of the market (typical first-car material).

It's going to be quite interesting to see what values are like in a couple of years once the dust has settled.

People who bought new cars before the scrappage scheme when sales were very low should do better than expected.
