Should I buy VW Polo SE 1.2 TSI 90ps 3dr about to be discontinued for Match model?
I am interested in the VW Polo SE 1.2 TSI 90ps 3dr. It retails for £15,155. It is about to be discontinued for the new Match model available from March 2016 which retails at only £100 more but includes £800+ of extra options including cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, front fog lights with stating cornering function, tinted rear windows and new 15 inch Stratford alloy wheels.
The discounts available from car brokers on both models are about similar at the moment. There is a VW finance deal on which ends in January that would reduce the price of either model.
I would prefer not to wait to March to get the new Match but am concerned that if I buy the Polo SE then discounts will appear that I may miss out on and/or the resale value will be less. Can I expect discounts to appear on the Polo SE prior to its phase out in March? Is it better to wait?

It's probably better to wait and get the much better equipped Match that will always be worth more in years to come and which will, of course, be on a 16 plate.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
