Just got back from sorting my finance out - Am picking it up next Thursday Morning

Wasn't so impressed at the increase in interest rate from when I put the order in though, also the £199 3xservice deal is now 24x £15.99 -

Hi karlak, has you car arrived at the dealer yet? Mine is still waiting to get on a truck, so I think you will be beating me to it.  Hopefully I'll get it the weekend after.

I'm a bit surprised you've been hit with an increase in servicing costs - or did you not add this at the time of your order? Also higher interest, what rate where you quoted and what rate did you end up with?

Hi,

Car is at the dealer - well their compound

The servicing deal of £199 was replaced in April with a £15.99 x 24 offer. (30k miles/ 3 years)

The interest rate increased by around 0.7%, again this changed in April as part of the latest campaign.  All previous quotes are only valid (apparently) for 30 days, quite amusing as no-one can receive a Factory built Golf in that time.  I get the impression this is the first time that deals/offers have been worse than the previous campaign for the Golf 7.

My choice - suits me with work and the selling of my current car

I don't see how they can charge you the new servicing price if you 'purchased' the £199 deal?

The interest is showing as 6.2% on the website still, my dealer hasn't mentioned an increase to me so will see what happens next week.

I hadn't purchased the service deal as I had not got the car.  As far as I am aware you cant purchase it without having the car or could it have been added like any other "option" when ordering ?

Oh well, I will see what VW customer services say.  Not going to let it sour the experience of picking up next week

[ffrank]

No of course, don't let it sour - but my service plan was added like any other option by the dealer and is included in my OTR price. Whether they tell me the price has changed remains to be seen, but they didn't so far!

Hey guys. I ordered mine in January through target car leasing to custom spec and picked it 7th March.  Your dealers seem to be dragging their heels!

Re the servicing, dealer my rang me to say the £199 deal was ending and if I wanted it it would get added to my order (which I did)

Karlak - you said you just sorted your finance out so you order the car with no deposit? I paid £1000 up front so surely money changing hands locks in the price (including the finance interest rate)
