I've basically got a 152 car that is deemed unfixble. I've taken the car back and paid a lot of $$ for nothing.
 
Deposit paid, generally 2.0 VAG diesels are bullet proof but unfortunately they have always been known or electrical gremlins. I'm picking the car up from a Skoda specialist (so they tell me) so text me the issues and I'll say it to them. Failing that, I've been getting my cars serviced by a Merc & VAG specialist in Ballymount for the last number of years so I can give you their details too.

I know what the problem is. I just can't get it fixed.

I've already put the car through 3 garages and they all took their cut.

The first part to replace is the engine loom kit approx 400e and then all the additional components (again). 

It could be the one loom connector - they can take it off another car and solder it on. But they can't get that part.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Car works 100% - it's triggering the engine management light to come on.

it’s more bad luck than anything Horse, which you seem to have a bit of with cars sadly. 
If the VAG specialists are struggling sadly I wouldn’t be able to offer you anything different!

Does anybody on here buy their cars brand new and if so why.  

Was always told that the car depreciates approx from anything to 20 to 40% in the first year.  

Surely a nearly new car is better value.  

Will probably look at a 2020 car in 2022.

I have a Kodiaq on PCP, went for it due to low APR (0%) and it took our three rear facing child seats (2 x ISO) in the middle row leaving a huge boot for buggies, bikes etc. It's been great so far. Not sure what I'll do when the 3 years is up. Been looking at the electric Skoda but it's 5.9% APR which is disappointing.

Have never desired a brand new car. Don't think i will ever want one tbh unless that 40/1 in the tips thread comes in.

Don't buy new cars myself but really glad that people do as otherwise there would be very limited availability in the used market (there would be ex lease and ex hire).

Great stuff great to hear. What did the monthly payment work out as and what deposit did they require.  

I would be with McG with regards new cars but if there is financial logic to it I could be convinced.

The thing about buying a new car is you have to bring it back to the same garage for every service\maintenance work.

And this is where they'll take you to the cleaners.

I've never bought a new car but solely for the reason that I could never afford what I wanted new. Makes sense for some people to buy new, especially if they plan to keep upgrading every few years. They are covered under manufacturer warranty, don't have to bother with NCT's and a lot of garages now offer service plan deals to so no unexpected bills.
 
I would advise anyone looking at a new car to stay as far away from PCP as possible.

We bought a 202 corolla, was next to no savings on an older model, definitely wasn't 20-40% cheaper for a year old model when we bought. Glad we did, great car, even if it's not getting used much at the minute.
