When I did the deal for both the new Golf and the Wife's Polo back at the end of Feb, the deposit contribution was £1250 on the GTD. However just before we collected the cars last week, I went to my dealership just to confirm the re-payments, deposit amount etc. and was very surprised (and pleased) to hear that VW had increased the contribution from £1250, to £2k and he's managed to secure that on my car and a similar deal on the Polo (was £750 and he had increased it to the new £1400).
I had no idea the contributions had been increased since I'd ordered, and to be fair he could have kept quiet and said nothing, but fair play, he got me a much better deal in the end.
