Used/ex demo cars are going for near on new prices, even near list at the moment because of long delivery times (6 months not uncommon).
When the lease cars appear on the market I reckon there will be a price correction. But, if the manufacturing issues are not resolved lead times will still be long, the car is proving popular and will continue to be.
So I'm dubious that a "collapse" would happen. I think in 12 months a poverty spec car will be low 20s (keep in mind a new one is availbable for 27k now). High spec cars will be 25+.
The cynic in me suggests the VW may not be too bothered about speeding up delivery times to help regulate the number of cars out there. They have a reputation of good residuals to protect.
The car is certainly attracting lots of attention, several owners on VWROC have been relieved of their keys in the middle of the night recently.
There seems to be some disparity between new prices and used with some cars at the moment - M135i prices are all over the place too, as it is at the moment it looks like you can get a new facelift for obi a very small amount more than a 18-24 month old car
Yeh this makes sense. Not in a position to change my car until end of year, so hopefully there will be more choice at realistic prices then.When the lease cars appear on the market I reckon there will be a price correction.
