Out with the old in with the new!!

You sold that to get a diesel Polo?!

Have you thought this through? I don't think you'll be saving much money really, a negligible amount for the downgrade in styling, fun, speed, rarity, exclusivity etc.

edit: and what Fox said! This is one car of 500. It's hardly going to come down in price as fast as an ordinary Clio.

I mean LOOK at it. It's like VW looked at the utterly pointless Rover Streetwise and thought 'My god, a jacked up Supermini covered in black plastic, we need one in our range too'.

I've seen one of those in charcoal grey and actually really liked it! IIRC, it had different wheels to the one in the pic, but it really did look very smart.

Well, as the Rover Streetwise was such a great success...

Reading ScottFree's final post on the first page, it's fairly clear that he has thought it through & weighed up that it was the right decission to move onto the Polo, particulary after owning a string of Renaults! Crickey, you must be sick of them!

I do however firmly believe that the 182 Trophy will maintain a high premium for a good number of years, with the press-coverage & limited numbers it should always be a 'sellers market'.
I would not expect the Polo to retain it's value as well in terms of actual £pounds or as a %age of it's cost.

The projected %'s are pretty close. 51% for a Polo Sport 1.4 TDI vs 50% for the Clio. That said the other VAG cars on the same chassis (Ibiza and Fabia) are getting the same %'s so the VW roundel doesn't automatically equal megabucks.

Used values have only just taken a dip on the Fabia vRS. 18 month old 25k milers were going for 11k on forecourts last spring. The list price is was only 12.3k!
