Biggest price increase I have seen across the whole range basically.
Over 2% on everything pretty much apart from EV cars to keep them eligible for GOV grant.
Thanks for the heads up. Do you know whether the Golf R is subject to the increase? Also, do you know whether the PCP deposit contribution is likely to go anytime soon? Thanks.
Yes Golf is subject to 2.2%
Not sure on deposit contributions but to be fair they don’t exactly need them to sell new cars anymore
VW already got rid of the significant £1750.deposit contribution on ID3 a few days ago. Presumably to offset the fact they're not putting the ID3 prices up to keep under the BEV grant threshold for certain models.
Used prices are still mad - my 6 month old Family Pro Performance is about £2700 more than the DTD price was until the deposit contribution was pulled.
Maybe that's a reason why they pulled it. A few people on the EV forums were considering hedging their bets on the used prices staying high by the time they could have another one ordered and delivered - basically swapping what will then be a year old example swapped for a new one and £2k profit on the old one sold via Motorway.co.uk.
The discounts have probably dried out and 40% of that grant exclusive discount is gone with the deposit contribution, making the situation of swap old for new with profit far less likely.
With the supply situation, it wouldn't surprise me if the dealerships are ordering a ton of stock for themselves to sell at full RRP rather than ordering them for customers who'll have the agony of an 8-10 month wait.
