Scirocco Central

Hi,

I have found a 63 plate Scirocco R, and I am in love with it

Now I currently have a 13 plate 2.0TDI (177ps) GTI that I pay £400.00 a month for. Would it be possible for me to get the above R that I have found for cheaper per month on finance than I am currently paying?

I realise I may be asking the dumbest question ever , but I just do not want to pay more than I currently am, and would only swap my car for cheaper installments.

Many thanks in advance.

OOOOORRRR save up till you can afford it and buy it?

That or save even longer and get a better finance deal?

I cant see you swaping it for a 63 plate r and the payments not increase. £400 a month for the tdi is alot . Take it you put a very low deposit down.

metaljay - thanks for the response. You're right, I should save - I am just 1. really impatient and 2. trying to reduce my car outgoings. Your answer is definitely the sensible answer though! I can only dream of the day I can buy a car outright

whitedevil_170 - too be honest, that's what I thought - there is no way it will go down. I suppose I was wanting a miracle deal haha. Yeah, I ordered it brand new with a load of added extras, they took my old car as part ex for £5500 and they put a deposit on it of £1500. I didn't add anything more to it. But, this price also includes the servicing plan, lifeshine and the insurance they offer to cover anything my insurance won't. After reading this site, I now know that I shouldn't have got the lifeshine - but I was naive at the time! I'm useless with cars, so unaware of things I can actually do myself

Thank you both, really appreciate your advise!

I didn't mean to come off arrogant, I'm 23 and it took me 3 years to save for my R, plus the money from my previous scirocco as a 'deposit'.

what sort of mileage do you do? I in a way regret my R, as I thought my mileage would drop right down yet I'm driving it more just for the sake of stuff haha

Don't be silly I didn't think you were being arrogant, you're being sensible!

Well my car now is 2 days off 12 months old and I've done 7,500 miles. I purely only got a diesel because my previous car (VW Beetle) was a diesel, so it just felt like the right thing to do. But too be honest, a full tank of petrol lasts me well over a month, which makes me think I could take the drop in MPG and get a petrol. But you're probably right, for the pure pleasure of driving it, I would probably do more! I literally only live about 15 mins drive from work though down normal a roads.

BTW, I am 24, so I completely envy that you have an R!! Especially one that you paid for, how on earth did you save :|

Haha I still live at home.
I spent my house deposit on the car... Girlfriend Hates me for it lol

Good choice in my opinion haha
