Taken from VW UK Web site :-
It's predicted that on the 1st January 2010 VAT is going to increase to from 15% to 17.5% . Volkswagen have created an offer to help minimise the impact of this increase on the on the final price you'll pay for your vehicle when it is delivered.
If you order a new Volkswagen before the 30th November 2009 and take delivery before the 1st January and 28th February 2010, we will give you a 2.5% discount on the pre VAT basic recommended retail price or the vehicle including factory fitted options.
Terms and conditions:
This offer applies to vehicles ordered between the 29th October and the 30th November 2009 and delivered and registered to private retail customers between 1st January and 28th February 2010.
My Vehicle (GTD ) Was ordered Mid Sept 09 and Has Now Got a Unconfirmed Build Date of Week 6 2010 (Due to Unknown VW delays ?? )
What is VW Doing for people who have ordered there vehicle Before the T&C's date and will not Get delivery untill after the T&C date ?? :angry: :huh:
Anyone Know ???? :huh:
-
The terms of the offer has been changed dealers were updated on the 4th of december VW now cover any order placed before the 1st December.

Cheers, Snoopy. Glad someone is in the Know, Was worried that the Stealers were going to hit me for another 2.5%

I have been hitting my head against that brick wall non stop! for the past 2 months. :angry:

The banks may be back to normal but the rest of the economy still has a long way to go. With inevitable tax rises on the way as well as VAT going back to 17.5%, prices for goods and services are sure to go up across the board. This will trigger the return of Thatcher's old arch-enemy: inflation. To counter inflation, interest rates are likely to rise, so we're all going to feel a lot poorer.
It is hard to tell for sure, but the car market may well stagnate much more profoundly than before. I certainly don't see car sales in January, February and March being particularly strong. Most dealers have already increased their prices because they know that they're going to need to discount them heavily by March if not before. I predict dealers fighting over each other to secure new car sales come Spring/ Summer.
Right now is possibly the worst moment to buy a new car. My advice to anyone considering a GTI is to say to your dealer: "you know what? I'd love to buy one but i just can't justify it at the prices you're currently charging. I think I'm going to wait." Hesitation on the part of buyers is what will force prices down.
So, dear friends, have courage, stand your ground, and wait patiently for the deals on wheels that are coming.

That's pretty much what my Dad was saying just last week. He's a finance guru!

According to my dealer there's also a 3% price rise for Jan 1st, on top of the VAT rise !
He says VW will protect current orders fromt he price rise, but not the VAT - i assume he means new orders placed this week.

Well if that's true i'll buy a different car.
-
~2.4% price rise iirc.
-
It's going to be 2.68% on the Golf Hatch. I ordered this week to avoid further rises. 2.5 % Vat + 2.68% = £1300 Price rise approx
That's a lot for an already expensive car. It's sure to keep second hand car prices high.
-
If the dealer pulls that stroke with me 1300 + VAT on top, then i'm going to cancel. No way i'm a going to pay nearly 2000 grand ??? (Must be Fooking joking) :sad:

Yes, interest rates will go back up along with inflation but so will salaries. I'd be quite happy seeing my house tripple in value.
-
^will they. As my salarie has had no rises this year or last due to the current climate. I expect bigger bills and less money to pay them.
VW price rises.
If you look in the broucher you will see if you have placed an order beforte the price rise VWs terms and conditions says it will stick to that price. The only exception is the VAT as thats a goverment controled.
