Apologies Luke. It's an aging thing, where PCPs were once unheard of! As I understand it, the majority of new cars are now registered under a PCP. This early delivery may now be a bonus for you, since I guess the figures quoted would have been based on a 2019 registration and the all important residual value calculate on that. The fact that it will now be registered in 2018 must affect the residual, but if they are not going to adjust the figures then, as you say, it will not affect your payments, so no consequence. Enjoy it. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Luke, Pleased for you, and probably putting a dampener on this great event, but you will appreciate that within a space of approx. 4 weeks from being registered new, this car will technically be a year older. Yes, I know the dealer will be convincing in their arguement that a Dec. registered car will have the same value as one registered in Jan. of the following year, but........... reality? After all, December is an understandingly slow month for vehicle registrations, and they will be clapping their hands at the thought of every car they can get a number plate on in this month. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanx for the info n help much appreciated

Congratulations Les. I have heard that A3s were prone to rear wash leaks, but did not realise there were consequences other than a wet boot.
