Passat 206TSI: Where are all the MY18's?

[darkrook]

Hi there,

So after lots of reading and finally driving one, I have decided I do want a Passat 206TSI MY18 – sedan. So, after checking carsales and various other sites, I am realising... there hardly are any! First, there are few 206TSI sedans around to start with. But out of those 90% appear to be MY17. What happened?

Have the MY18 not hit the second hand market, yet? Or were only few of them sold? I have a bit of time as my other car has not sold, yet, so I will be patient. But I am wondering...

Does anyone know the reason? Or even better... does anyone have one for sale?

Happy driving
