Polo gti 25th edition
Discussion
I wanted to share some news I have just received regarding my Polo GTI Edition 25 and see what the community thinks.
My car is a 74-plate in Kings Red Metallic with 4,500 miles on the clock. When ordering, I ticked absolutely every single optional extra box available, including the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), panoramic glass roof, Discover Pro 9.2" navigation upgrade, driver assistance packs. These options were all you could get at the time but due to my cars delay i manage to get VW to also include the upgraded Beats Audio premium sound system.
I recently reached out to Volkswagen UK to check the build registry. I just received a direct email confirmation from Mike Orford (Head of PR and Communications at VW UK) stating:"We can confirm that not only is the car a one of its kind in its spec, it’s the only car we sold with those options regardless of colour. It’s quite a rarity!"This means out of the 350 units allocated to the UK, this is a verified 1-of-1 factory "Max Spec" build.I am currently testing the market and considering putting it up for sale soon .Given the official manufacturer provenance and the fact it has every single option most buyers skipped, what kind of realistic premium do you think this should command over a standard Edition 25?
Would be grateful to hear your thoughts!

Options are basically a scam - they're hugely profitable for manufacturers as they cost them buttons but they charge fortunes for them.
Unfortunately this means they depreciate very fast, mostly adding little to no value in the secondhand market.
On a Polo they might even make the car worth less as buyers could feel the car sounds bloated and has more things to go wrong.
