Resale value would be a worry.

Spare parts might be a problem too - or if you can get them they will be expensive
I was thinking that, but the car hasnt been replaced so theres no new TDI 96kw, its the last of them wont it keep its value as a 2008 model?

Its the same car they had for 3 years so it should be safe. Longer if you count the old spec Polo.
Ill see what I can find out I think its sort of an iconic car so it could hold its value, especially being the last of them.
Thats correct, although im not worried about it that much, Its still a Polo and the Polo should be around for another year or so.
My understanding is that its just a normal 1.9TDi just modified, also the Seat 1.9Tdi is still in production and is also 96kw, so as for engine parts etc there will be enough.
Its just the resale value, I know all cars depreciate and all that nonsense.
I also think its a good buy, and maybe if im lucky dealers would want to get rid of their stock so I might get it cheaper than the last batch that went out, I guess im just looking for someone to yes you right go for it!!!

No everyday usage car is an investment! Get the car you like as the resale value is going to be crappy anyway... Many years ago I bought a Hyundai as they offered a 3yr buy-back scheme .. then they went Bust... so the moral of the story is - You never know what will happen in the future regarding the Car sales markets, so just get the car you like. (I didnt like the Hyundai, but the price was right and myself being a cheapskate cost me more in the end)
