I've been a bit of a lurker here and recently participated in a few threads, but I've jumped back on the Golf forums lately because some nice incentives have come about for the MK7.5 GTI. I had a 2008 DSG GTI and a 2010 manual GTI in the past and I've tried a few cars since the MK6 left the stable, but I miss the GTI a lot so I'm interested in getting back into one.
I currently have a lease though so the negative equity being rolled in to the financing for the new car is a big deterring factor on moving forward with purchasing one right now, as it should be. However, I think I'd be even more upset if I ended up waiting to do this purchase later only to find that the supply of GTIs has become constrained enough that I'd have a hard time finding one or a decent deal on one.
I've gotten a few quotes and dealers have generally offered buyout/trade-in deals that are coming in such that the negative equity that'd be rolled into the financing would be ~$1k to ~$2k less than the total of my remaining lease payments.
I know it's very difficult, if not impossible, to know how things will work out in the coming months, but has anyone heard or seen anything that would indicate that new GTIs may be more difficult to come by in the coming months?
I've been an impulsive buyer in the past so I'm open to any wisdom on the matter in general too.
