Prior to purchasing my W169 I owned a VW Polo.
Despite VW's 'guaranteed' minimum future value on their 'Solutions' PCP, when the agreement came to an end the car was substantially worth less than the guaranteed minimum value by some £2k.
Now, my present Mercedes Agility agreement is about to end. By comparison, not only is there a healthy surplus in the car's trade value (as a deposit towards a new car), but the retail value is worth substantially more - by as much as 33% increase in value compared to what I would pay to keep it.
Lesson learnt? Don't use VW's finance. Mercedes is much, much better!
