Brand new golf gti basic with £1000 loyalty £21500, that's £5700 off list price that's over 20% off at drive the deal!

Not everyone is eligible for the loyalty discount.

Good time to buy a VW right now, crap for everyone who already bought one.

My dad is at different address to me yet I got the discount too.

Only owners or family members at same registered address as registered owner.

How did you manage that? Did you switch your bank address?

It doesn't have to be family members at the same address, it can be anyone at the same address.

However I personally think if a VW has driven past your front door in the last 6 months you will be classed as eligible.

My dealer gave me it off the GTI I've ordered for my Mrs and he only took my word for it that I had a GTD as I hadn't given him any details.

My experience has been that dealers are very strict with it. From the outset they are saying no if you are not a current owner or at same address as one. Only one has suggested fiddling it by changing addresses, others suggest they will pull the plug on the transaction if they get wind you are fiddling it.

The promotion doesn't end until the 31st of May so folk would have plenty of time to spare if they only have to be at an address for at least 90 days.

No I just went to my dealer said I have heard about the loyalty bonus I to have another version but I have it registered in my dads name. V5 document isn't proof of ownership. I brought the car from them 5 year ago I proved that with my transaction. All he said to me was that usually as long as surname is the same its obvious its family. Then got email saying all ok we accept. If they pull plug over transaction I'll pull plug on buying car. I have email proof from them saying they will honour it.

Surprised they honoured it seeing as offer states you need to produce v5 with same address as your address but good luck to you if it works!

Don't even think you need to be at address for ninety days. As long as you can prove you live at the same address as the existing owner at point of purchase you will be ok.  It's the existing VW that has to be owned for a period of 90 days before you purchase a new one.

To me it sounds like dealer discretion some will some won't I'm lucky mine has. Signing documents tomorrow so will find out if anything changes

My plan is to keep my car for 5 years so I will be paying the balloon payment (if I don't pay it off before) If the car isn't worth the GFV then I will be seeing if I can do some negotiations with them to pay a lower amount.

Interesting. Is it even possible to negotiate the GMFV value with them at the time, or would you just threaten with handing the car back and walking away ?

Chances are that the car's expected stIcker price on the used forecourt won't be any less than the GFV, but the px price may well be. Doubt very much you will be able to renegotiate the balloon payment with VWFS unless something has gone disastrously wrong with VW and demand for them has completely collapsed.
