Differences with the T6.1 beaches

[Kayleigh]

I just spec'd up as close as possible T7 Beach on the VW website, it came to £67k, I'm sure I could get a few grand off that if I went into store but it would still be over £60k.

I know the T7 has a few extra's as standard that the T6.1 didn't have. The double sliding doors are nice and overall better tech.

I'll see how I go with this T6.1, I am new to this kind of vehicle. If all goes well, we may trade it in for a second hand T7 in a couple of years.

VW are not budging much on the price, they're only offering to discount by £250. I did put the deposit down before the pictures went on the website, it hasn't even been cleaned yet.

For comparison, I reckon my T6 Beach has depreciated by about £2k per year. I wouldn’t be put off by the £50k price. It’s a really high spec and will always command a premium price. Use it for a couple of years and you will have a good idea what you like and don’t like. Then you can decide whether to change for a T7. My money is on you keeping the T6.1
Word of advice - Don’t go buying loads of gear you think you will need. Use items you already have where possible. We’ve all been there!
