I'm in the market to upgrade my 2012 Pajero.
The question I have is, has anyone weighed up the option of buying a new or demo MY14 at a reduced price? Or wait for a MY15 and possibly pay more (talking into account the lower Luxury Car Tax - LCT)?
Does anyone know if VW Aust has an excessive supply of MY14's around and are looking to move them quickly?
I guess I'll start answering my own question by starting a pro's and con's list.
MY14 Pro's
- Possibly cheaper
- Available now
- Ability to wheel and deal due to runout
MY14 Con's
- Older model
- May not look as good as a MY15
- May not be able to select the options/configuration you want
MY15 Pro's
- New Model
- Better looking
- Better Fuel Economy
- Nicer looking Daytime Runing Lights (yes this is important to me)
- Lower LCT due to better fuel economy.
MY15 Con's
- Wait until next year
- Transmission decoupling would be annoying (driven a Golf R in Eco mode, yuck!)
- Less discount because it's new and popular. (Just went through this with the wife buying her new Golf R)
So there it is, I'm hoping to pick up an ex-demo V6 TDI in Canyon Grey or White for around the $80k mark which would include Sunroof and Sports Interior pack as a minimum. Dynaudio would be good, but I don't think many were optioned with it.
Am I dreaming or do you think this is realistic?
Cheers, Aaron.
