We have two cars. One, Passat , is a company car and a diesel. when it was ordered 3 years ago it was the best equipped big saloon in my P11d value and the cheapest in BIK tax. It was a diesel because I do a lot of mileage on the continent that I have to pay for. The emissions thing will only concern me if (and the government have said not) my tax will increase, or the mods required substantially cut power.
Other car is a
Cupra 280. Was bought because we had an R and loved it. Which was bought because we had an FR and loved it. We currently change cars every 2 -3 years, depending on what's about.
I know the value of the
Cupra will dip when the
290 hits the UK. Equally I know it will drop when a facelift is introduced. So would I be bothered if next week some scandal hit the petrol VAG's and dropped the value of my car by 10%? Nope. The car wouldn't be any different. Might mean I keep it for a bit longer. So what? Its only money, you can't take it with you and you are a long time dead. Just enjoy what you have and don't worry about what you don't.
