New car prices slashed!? - Or not (Mistake by VW)
« on: 19 January 2015, 12:52 »
I'm sure this has already been pointed out but OMG!

Anyone had a look on the uk VW site recently? All GTD/I/R models have 5K off now! Mental! I guess that mean's our cars are worth a lot less now!

That's nuts... is it a mistake? Seems a coincidence that 5k is the amount of the government grant for the GTE. Perhaps someone accidentally applied it to all GTX's/R's when they added the GTE?

If it's genuine, what about all you guys who have just put orders in??

Edit - Yep, pretty sure someone has made a booboo:

Yeah I was thinking the same! Probably a mistake as the government grant is £5K like you say for the GTE. I find it hard to believe tbh!

That's absolutely mental - but that is what the site says (across GTD to the R) - literally cheap as chips  :shocked:

If it is true then I feel a little sick..... :sick: Like I've been robbed of 5K! I still think it's a mistake.

Get yourself into a dealer and try to get them to honour those prices. It's a pity you can't order online and have the car delivered by DHL before they realise their mistake!  :grin:

We should be due some money back, the way the Euro has been falling against the pound and other currencies recently.  :whistle:

Don't feel sick - its just bad timing.  Nowt you can do about it unfortunately.

If it is true though then those thinking about buying an R for example should get on it straight away as that's an offer you can't afford to not take!

I see (assuming no mistake here) that the service pack has dropped to £149 with finance. Will take finance out and then pay off in full a day or 2 later to snag that for £149.  :evil:

Looks like they fixed it.

Anyone add one to their basket in time?  :whistle:
