Stock car Clubsports SOLD others available with up to £5000 discount!

[infernox]

I'm talking about nearly new cars you see on Autotrader being sold by VW dealers. I understood why there was a big discount before with them getting rid of stock for the facelift cars to come in. Is it a case of the cars getting sold too fast and not enough interest for the facelift models that they've reduced the discount?

I dunno why, but I have noticed and commented several times about how VW main dealers have second hand (probably dealer demo/company cars 6 months old) at prices which are mental compared to buying a new one at a discounted price.

I even had that conversation with my local dealer a few months back.

I think essentially nobody buys them and the idea is that nobody buys them at that price, they just exist to get people to buy a new one - a new one is another registration (that they need for their sales quota with VW) and a chance to get someone to take out a VW finance deal (which is probably also a sales target and certainly a cash payment from VW Finance)

It can't be for any other reason can it?

Yeah that has to be it. Guess they'll reduce the price to something reasonable after the facelift comes out.
