Thanks for the feedback guys. Really appreciate that.
Don’t mean to disagree but does that mean the total savings of ~35k ie. 110k as compared to new unit 145kish is not at all justified??? Taking into consideration VW poor resale value, I was thinking I may be able to cushion some of the highest depreciation which happens to be in the first few years of ownership.... hmmm...
Btw I thought there are 5 years warranty so there is no issue
lol, don't listen to most of them la.

100k would be good value in my opinion. 110k is average for a 1.8. This is my perspective as an ex-owner. If you can get one unit at 80 to 90k NEW, that's even better!
And yes, the car WILL HAVE poor resale value. I can confirm that your car is only be worth 45 to 50k to 2nd hand dealers after 5 years. So the less you have to pay for it, the less you lose on depreciation.
If you want a car with better resale then you need to get the 2.0, I'd definitely get the demo unit 2.0 which is priced at 135 to 140k, a friend of mine got the 2.0 demo unit and that is a much better value car that doesn't depreciate as much as the 1.8 because of the 6 speed DSG and GTI spec engine.
Just bear in mind that whether or not if its the 1.8 or 2.0, your wear and tear parts will cost more money than any Japanese car to fix, so this is where you MUST do your own research or you will end up being slaughtered like a water fish.
