I'm sure they will. I'm in the market for a new petrol and someone asked me why I wasn't considering a Volkswagen... I wouldn't put my money anywhere near that company at the moment!
Also interestingly my 2 year old 1.2 DSign bought for 13k new (14 with the options I picked) Mercedes offered me just 5.5k for it. 8.5k loss in value over two years!

Depreciation is only a factor if/when you want to sell the car. If mine was to be worthless then its cost me less than a tenner a day to own, not bad for a full spec car that's got about 30k on the clock in 5 years.
I know plenty of people whose habits cost them considerably more than that per day.

Take your point about VW cars, however, there are some fantastic deals around at the moment, and rumoured (For new diesels) to get even better. Lets be honest, all new VW diesels are gonna be as clean as possible now, arent they. So maybe a smart person would buy?
And whatever the sufferings the VAG brand are/will go through, they are still a quality piece of kit.
PS- I got £3k over what a dealer offered for mine!Last edited by Chris_Blue; 19-10-2015, 08:32.sigpicJog on Noddy

I'm now going to lie down having agreed twice with Chris in one post
The only problem with a VAG is the brand tarnish affect..... "OOO eerrr missues, youve one of those dirty VWs/ Audis/ Seat" but that will pass in time. Rumours of drop in prices by 10%, free fuel, free servicing etc etc after Christmas, for new vehicles, diesels. Petrol prices gonna remain the same. VW already halted one prduction line of diesels some weeks ago.
Wouldnt buy a used 2009 onward VW diesel personally though. But then again- bet they go for great prices, after theyve been remapped or new ECU.
Even claims the mpg wont go down- we'll see.sigpicJog on Noddy
