An expert is a person who has learned more and more about less and less till he knows everything about nothing.Everybody is an expert today. Don't you know that?
Read a caravan article supposedly written by a motoring expert where he stated the GTM as being higher than the ATM.
D head but about the standard of journalists today.

That level of discount is not sustainable on $30k cars without subsidy from VW Australia, which does not appear to be happening yet. Having been talking to VW dealers over the last month about Golfs (specifically pricing TDIs and TSIs), I can say that for me it sounds like he is talking out of his orifice.

He was talking about the used car market. So your TDI. Is being devalued more by the diesel scandel thus one of the reasons that there is a class action against VW people are going to be shocked. When they either trade or sell their. Car.

John Cadogan is a motoring journalist but he's by no means impartial or an expert on resale (beyond the next observer). He's long had a very vocal anti-Volkswagen attitude and has been openly criticised for said bias in his videos and written material.
Here's a recent article on his "quality" website: How Volkswagen Betrayed the World — Auto Expert by John Cadogan - save thousands on your next new car!
I wouldn't trust the rantings of this lunatic father than I could throw him. He's a proper Alan Jones of the motoring world - ready to appeal to readers' base instincts to get a headline.

Check out the background of Mazda marketing managers and you'll find ex motoring journos.....they seem, to me at least, to compete for the prize job........if you get my drift.
If VW DOESN'T have a reliability problem the this is the perfect time to get back some credibility and kudos by giving its vehicle owners an immediate increase in warranty - say 5 years and 160,000km.....how could a superior German car not be so covered, plus think of the servicing profit for the dealerships.
Don't hold yr breath!
