Just seen that Vw are running a Golf event with an extra £500 towards your deposit contribution until 17th February. Too good to be true?
Discounts have dropped though, quite significantly. They are now c5-9%, where as before Xmas they were 15%+.
I have an offer in writing on the R and gti waiting with those discounts of 16%. Would they add another £500???
Your written discount will have a time limit to it, and can also be pulled at any point by the dealer/VWFS, so I wouldn't bank on that lasting for ever.
I notice in the small print of the Feb Golf offer that the £500 will either be taken off the cash price of the car, or added to deposit contribution, so again, a way for them to wriggle out of it.
No harm in asking though, if you don't ask you don't get.
EDITED to add - I've just logged into my Carwow, and on my build it now says that "
Please note these offers will expire on 31st January 2019." So given the new "extra £500" Golf offer starts on the 1st of Feb, I would guess that all the previous discount/offers will be pulled to adjust for the new offer.
