It should be a 2017 as time should start from when car leaves the factory.. Don't think it really matters though.. in terms of what specs/car you will get, will all depend on the MY number.

So an MY17 built in December or January will have absolutely no difference in terms of resale, desirability in the second hand market etc.. Unless there is a material difference like an increase in power, new design of bumper bar etc when the MY changes.. This is real world take on it.

And to be fair, my mrs got 16.5% off a MKVI GTI when they launched.. no one believed that happened when we got it, so I know its possible. I barely got half that this time around.. oh the pain..

Yeah I guess I got lucky - as I said in another post,
I originally picked black and was happy with 59600 but the Mrs wanted me to change to white thinking I would get 700 back due to being non metallic paint - the sales manager had to draw up new contracts and came back with 56500 - I just shut up and signed on the dotted line...

Thanks for that, from another post I read, they are looking to put extra USB ports in?

You're right. I have found that it's the condition of the car when you sell/trade in that matters. If you look after the car you will be rewarded come trade in or selling time. My habits have been to get it serviced on time, garage/undercover at night, avoid shopping centre and other such car parks and never take it through an automatic car wash if you can help it - doing it yourself will keep the paintwork swirl free. These habits have helped me get way above the average value for my past three cars.

Roughly when can we expect the changeover to the MY18 cars? I am thinking of ordering in the next couple of months for a third quarter delivery.

in 12 months time for the 162! First (very few) landed in showrooms not even a week ago.. Official release is early Jan.= 2017.

Maybe slightly less for the trendline and comfortline... 10-11 months? October was the first batch I think, with the 162 tsi only trickling to the market out now

Im going off time the cars hit the dealership..

MY18 changes will typically be build week 22 - at least this has been the case for previous years. Expect these to start arriving for delivery in around August/September 2017. This is when you'll get any new updates/changes to the spec.
