There's no escaping the fact that the GT pack considerably helps when selling and also improves residuals. The big question though, is how much of the £2500 cost do you actually get back when you sell?
Whatever % you lose from the initial cost of the car will also apply to the £2500
Therefore if a £30k non GT maybe be worth £15k in 4 years time a GT pack car would be about £16,250. Well, thats how I would view it if I was purchasing a zed.
True, but as i found when selling mine, most were not interested if you had the standard model and actually cancelled appointments when they realised it was not the GT. Hence yes you may get slightly less money for it, however to sell it is actually harder so you may find that you get considerably less that you expect.
Used cars: everybody prefers the GT spec. which means it will harder to sell the non-GT spec car unless you price it significantly lower than the GT spec. £1k difference in price for a used car does not really do the non GT spec car any favours at re-sale time. there for IMO the difference in price will be more than £1k atleast in the used car market..if its not..then the GT spec alwasy gets sold.
