Nearly new still going strong

Posted on March 16th, 2009 by In51der in Blog, Consumer


According to WhatCar, DriveTheDeal will save you £2,456 over the list price on the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDi 170 Sport DPF. Price you pay: £19,589. A quick search on Autotrader gives us a dealer who has an 08 plate model with the exact same specification and 2,500 miles on the clock for £15,495, a further saving of over £4,000.

Yes the gap is still quite large on certain models and no it isn’t rocket science!
