Just been talking to a guy who deals with all the VW range of cars, I told him that mine will be getting handed back as the GFV will probably be more than what it's worth at the time, which is a shame as it's a nice car with ultra low miles on it.
He said that all Seat, VW, Audi, Skoda etc. range go to the same place at the end of the lease where they get prepared/photographed etc ready for sale, they they get advertised on a big trade website where people look at/buy them, they then get sent to that buyer....all this moving around, preparing, advertising etc costs them a lot of money!
So he said, when your deal is nearing the end don't worry about the GFV price, just phone them up and say that your px/selling quotes are coming in at less than what is owed on the car and ask them how much will you drop the final figure buy if I buy/keep it?
In theory it makes sense, as it's no hassle to them and probably cheaper for them to let you have it at a lower cost.
So has anyone tried it???
