Hi,
I've recently bought a used 2006 Golf GT TDI with DSG gearbox from a multi-franchise group that has several dealerships on the south coast. My local dealership has a Skoda franchise, and has offered discounts on parts and servicing and free MOT tests as customer benefits attached to the warranty provided at the time of sale.
Whilst I am confident that their VAG-trained technicians can service and repair the Golf, I wonder whether having a Skoda dealer stamp the service book would put a future buyer off or reduce its resale value. The car has FSH with only the most recent service by a non-VW garage. By the time I come to move it on, it will be eight years old with around 75k on the clock.
My own thoughts are that it would probably not make a great deal of difference at this age and mileage, but would be grateful for your own observations.
Many thanks in anticipation
David
