Residual value
An asset to add to the balance sheet
Our cars have some of the best residual values in the motoring industry. Therefore, when you upgrade your fleet, or your business needs change, you can be confident in the knowledge you will receive a better than average return.
That means, even if a Volkswagen may appear a bit more expensive on the price list; it’s likely to cost you less in the long run. If you’re leasing your cars, those great residual values translate to competitive monthly rates.
The table below shows how some of our models compare on residual values. In case you weren’t looking for the detail, the short answer is ‘pretty favourably’.
