Trying to convince the wife a Golf R is a good buy. Admittedly, I rarely keep cars longer than 2-3 years but have always purchased and intend to continue to do so - i will roll the equity in my WRX into the Golf R finance. I have been considering the A3, A4, TLX and Golf R. To look at resale values I went on Kelly Blue Book and checked the trade-in value of 2015s of each vehicle with 30,000 miles in Very Good Condition. Here is what the average trade-in for each was:
1) Golf R - $30,005
2) A3 Prestige - $26,362 (Premium Plus was closer to $24,000)
3) A4 Premium Plus w/ Tech - $25,096
4) TLX 3.5 SH-AWD w/ Tech & Advance - $24,274
Obviously its not exact, as i guessed with some options. However, does the Golf R really hold its value that much better than all these other cars. All of them are right around the same negotiated price as the Golf R or more, yet have significantly less value on trade in.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
