V.A.T. will increase to 17.5% on the 1st Dec too just to add to the misery. 

31st Dec. 

It is the 1st Dec as it stands now... They want it delayed until the 31st Dec to aid Christmas trading...

Weird, the Bank of England is one of our clients, I'll send them a memo on Monday to advise that dubcruiser knows better.

If you could Kev that would be great!  Considering you don't know what I do for a living we will have to wait and see!

Hi,
I spoke to my dealer today, first time since I ordered my car at end of June.
He had a look on his PC and said it would probably be here 3rd week in September.
He also confirmed that there will be a price increase on 1st Sept. but it won't affect my order.
I've tried to stay calm and dignified (at my age) but sod it I'm starting to get exited now, can't wait to get my new baby.

This is gospel.

Any orders placed (by this I mean the car has to be ordered by the dealer on our system) by the 31st August will be price protected irrespective of when the vehicle is delivered.

They will not however be price protected against VAT as this is out of the control of the retailer/Volkswagen.

The price increase is 3.2% on Golf but this will only affect anyone ordering on the 1st September onwards.

Paying in full by the 31st August is nonsense. It won't be for target purposes though as the sale doesn't count until it's registered (assuming you are waiting for a 59 plate). It's more likely to do with cash flow. Some dealers have a policy that you need to pay in full three or four days before delivery, that may be the case for those of you taking your cars in the first week of Sept.

In my experience, these confusions tend to happen when the sales manager hasn't fully explained to the sales people and they assume/exagerate/cover their ar$es with customers.

Hope this helps

When you get a quote for a car and you agree on this quote handing over a deposit, that is legally binding, there is no way on earth that should any price rise wither it be the car's price or VAT being added will anyone have to pay the extra.

Thank you very much indeed, that's good to know.

I may just pony up the money anyway, because I expect the car no more than 2 or 3 weeks into September and the salesman has given me such a good deal it seems churlish to quibble.

When I get my car tax reminder it says I owe £2xx.00.  Invariably when I go and buy my tax, I end up paying more as my renewal pretty much coincides with the budget increase day.

My employment contract says I get £xxk salary.  Yet the government can increase my tax and I get paid less.

The tax man does as he pleases.

If you buy your car on the 31st Dec you WONT pay the extra 2.5% VAT increase regardless of when you pick the car up even if its in March before you get it. The price agreed is the price you pay from day one. Frankly its bloody laughable to suggest otherwise.
