Should I buy a new car now? Or wait?
Do you think the price discounts for a new Golf GTI make it worthwhile to buy now rather than wait for the new model? And which manual model would you choose?

Due to Brexit the facelift model will in initially be 10% dearer and at first it will be difficult to get a discount on it. So if you can get a current Golf GTI at a 10% - 20% discount, then bite the dealer's hand off. Golf R manual is the best, but buying lower down the range you at least want the EA 888 230PS GTi Performance with limited slip diff.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
