I paid cash for mine, it was not a loan in any way, I had shares that I sold to buy the car.


It is better to pay proper cash than any other method as there's no interest to pay to anyone, discounts can be had as the dealer doesn't have to protect the car cost when giving away interest free credit.

There is no doubt in my mind that cash is the best way compared to any other payment, again as a few people have said, it's each to their own but you can't argue that finance is better or the same as cash as it simply isn't.

Paid cash for mine too and I agree, discounts can still be had.

The dealer would obviously like you to take some form of VW backed finance package. As well as, I suspect, earning commission on this, they'll no doubt also have monthly targets to meet on these products as well as the number of vehicles sold. Plus, there's a greater chance of hooking the customer into the VW brand for the long term - e.g. with VW Solutions, 2 of the 3 available options keep the customer in a VW branded vehicle at the end of the contract term.

Call me old fashioned, but for me, I still prefer to pay cash and own my car.

Buy any new golf on VW solutions get 30,000 miles of servicing for only £99. Settle it any time you like even before you pay you first payment and save £230. Because the service plan is £329 now.

Done.

Anyone any ideas what sorta discount VW offer for second purchase? I currently drive a jan 09 golf 1.4 and it ends in or around june after 42 months, i would love to step into a GTI/GTD but think it would be a touch too expensive so im thinking perhaps a 1.4 GT 160 or GT TDI 140, any ideas what sorta discount they offer? Also consider i had a tonne of problems with this car and its been in with the dealers for a month next week of which i had to involve head office of the issues, 3rd or 4th time its been in with these several issues.....

Cheers in advance

I think I am in the same boat as evo here.... why would you want to pay cash for something that is going to lose you thousands the minute you drive it off the fourcourt??  

Why not just pay the amount the car will lose in value over a set period of time??  

It is virtually the same thing as buying the car outright only with the above mentioned method you keep your £20k in your bank.


So to all those who say I own my car out right.... good on ya!! You have the same car on your drive as the person who choses to lease his, only he has £20k in his bank.

what about all those monthly payments, elementary maths, no wonder the country is in the state it is

just to add don't the value of a car go down the minite you drive it off the forcourt if you  don't pay cash for it, the world has gone mad Vw will give me a ed35 for a total of 25k if i have it over 4 years

As I said earlier

"Does it really matter if it's lost £3000 in 6 months? You only realise a loss when you sell it. The simple answer is, don't sell it. Just enjoy it for many years to come."

I don't understand I told you above an instant benefit of funding the car. Would you not want to save another £230? Typical naive customer........thinking everyone is out there it rip people off.
