Just a quick update, the new car came in early, so I've part ex'd and picked up the golf r estate, sooooo happy

Got the 17k part ex and an additional 15%total off the value.

My old octy has gone up already if anyone is interested:

I think you got a great price for it by the looks of it, recommended selling price on autotrader is only £15440!

Sounds like a good deal, love the Golf R Estate and great colour too!

Not a bad deal at all......what's it like for space inside

Almost exactly the same for space inside, interior is a big step up in quality and it goes like the clappers, put 1200miles on already

Thanks, wasn't sure on the tornado red when I ordered, but with the optional Pretoria alloys I love it

Looks great, very jealous. If only I could have a tow bar on it! 

Was this a pch or a purchase, I went into the same dealer last year and got poor px valuations

Should of held out for the golf R estate too :(

:p

Hire purchase, worked out much better for me, have a nice monthly work allowance which easily covers it

So did you get 15% not 10 off the new one....not 25% Id assume?!

V nice indeed. An all thing to all men car for sure....the only slight downside for me.....Id love one! I just have my reservations that the estates residuals, being a little leftfield might not stand up quite so well as say a 5 door hatch but who cares hey?!

That link with your car on shows the car up for sale at £17k..... so they are selling it for what they px'd it for ? I always thought they added on to the price they pay. Also it looks very nice your old Skoda.

Exactly, they are making a loss, think they regretted my fixed px Haha. The car is in top condition, only myself who used it, so no kids or family to ruin it it was a shame to get rid but the R is another level

I literally never even thought about an R estate and residuals, it wasn't on the top of my list, the 300hp, 4motion and ridiculous pace and handling were...
