I don't think it's a glitch, it's probably a real offer. If it said £5250 contribution for the Edition 50 then I would very much assume it was an error. However, the fact that's it's a different number, and much lower tells me it probably real. Those numbers are quite far away on the keyboard for a human error.  Also, the exclusion clause points to the 7.9% APR and larger contribution.

Strangely on Sunday my wife send me a screenshot of a VW UK ad about their new 2 week sales push campaign. Despite what the small print says about Edition 50 being excluded from the big £5250 VW contributions, the calculator online has been updated to have a 1k contributions for the Edition 50, whilst also maintaining the no contribution option.

I have contacted another neighbouring VW dealer via email, played dumb and pretended a knew very little about the car to get some clarification. Sales Ex said it's limited production, but of course unsure about the exact amount, so not very limited. They have 3 allocations and he suspects orders to close at the end of this month. He stated no more further waves/allocations later this year when I pushed for info, this initial set is all they're getting. This is the same message I got my own dealer, and what's been seen online, but contrary to reviews and initial press sayings it'll be available all year round. I did explain in the email, the 1k vs 5.2k contribution difference was vast, and could we meet in the middle. I still stand to be corrected, and thus I can only assume the dealer would enable the 1k contribution.

This is russian roulette. Take them on face value and place a factory order or wait until later in the year when they may be more deals. If this is all the allocations they will provide and they're sold, then depreciation for a 50k+ Golf will be better managed. If it goes largely unsold, they may start to offer bigger incentives.

Ooooh. Great spot! Seems to contradict what I’ve been told (in classic Vw style!). I’ve asked my dealer about it as I only ordered 2 weeks ago. Worth a shot!

Finger on the pulse Andy!

Would be interested to hear how you got on with the dealer regarding the £1K contribution that Exonian spotted. I simply cannot remember any offer on the ED40 so I presume take up is low if they are offering a contribution after just 2 weeks, thanks Michele

I have a 21 CS, since its had the standard warranty work, new steering wheel, gear selector, software updates, its perfectly fine. Still has random bongs, but nothing most other modern cars (bmw etc) get as things like the cold, condensation and general ice, grime etc, cover/interact with external sensors such as radar, assistance cameras and thier housings and the like. I'd say ignore the haters, as long as its been looked after and had the warranty work, service schedule at VW, you should be good.

The 50 can have the sharpest transmission in individual mode...

And probably a gift will be present...

Those gifts are exclusive to the Spanish market (at least the Mk8 replica) where they have decided to sell only 325 units.
