Wow, I just checked the DealDrivers page again,and as well as the note about the GTi prices no longer being valid, there is one saying no more scrappage from Volkswagen dealers! Like, none! Not even on a basic Polo, apparently!
I think I was luckier than I knew with that Verve deal! 
Rolfe.
There is still stuff about scrappage on the VW website (at time of posting this anyway), so maybe it's just the dealers that are tied in to DealDrivers can't afford to keep the level of discounting going with a few hundred tonnes of scrap metal parked outside their dealership?
So maybe you were rather lucky Morag. Would be nice to think so as I think the scrappage scheme has had more success than many people ever reckoned. I don't think VW would abandon it too quickly as it would make them seem rather aloof, however I wouldn't mind a wager that it's putting a lot of pressure on Polo production at a time where they're trying to kill the old model off!
