Just got this email.

After 41 years of faithfully serving the British public, the Volkswagen Golf deserves the title 'Iconic'. And so it should be treated with all the fame it deserves. Join us from the 31st July - 16th August at The Golf Event. There's never been a better time to buy a Golf, with £2,000 towards your deposit across the range (6.6% APR Representative), including: Golf S, Golf Match, Golf BlueMotion, Golf GT, Golf R-Line, Golf GTI and e-Golf and a deposit contribution of £750 on the Golf GTD and Golf R. In addition, with our competitive monthly payments when purchased on Solutions Personal Contract Plan,* there's really never been a better time to drive home an icon.

We look forward to seeing you at our event.

Does that mean that I've just lost out on a £750 contribution on my GTD I ordered 4 weeks ago
If so I'm gonna cancel and re order lol

Funny...my email from Lookers Teesside is exactly the same with the exception that the contributions are doubled on the R and GTD and its £3,000 on the other models.

just noticed its from my dealer Inch in Stirling



*There are better offers out there

Will this be Throughout all VW dealerships or just selected dealers?

No, because any discount you got would be adjusted to compensate for the £750 they are giving away for "free" - its marketing and PR nonsense, the customer thinks he's getting something extra when in fact he's not getting anything at all.

Just off the phone with my dealer, basically he said it was an offer to get rid of all current new Golfs in stock between 31 July and 16 Sep, so he said if my car arrives with them before 16 Sep they will give me the £750 contribution towards my finance, and if not then my original deal applys.
Time will tell I guess

I have just been looking into this and have seen that the APR on the deal is set at 6.6%, but their current deal is set at 6.3%.

I'm sure someone with better skills than me can work out is the extra £750 worth the increase of 0.3%?

That 0.3% rise in APR will swallow about £190 of your £750 contribution, so still worth having if it is in addition to what you can currently achieve in discount.

You all beat me to it.

3k contribution on all golds except the GTD and R with a contribution of 1500. That can't be bad. Jonsons VW only offering 2 k and 750 respectively.
