VW deposit contribution on PCP has inceased

[iandjm]

Hi,

I have just found out via another forum that the VW deposit contribution on new Golfs has increased from £1250 to £2000!  When combined with the £500 loyalty contribution this really is worth having. I have an R on order at present. It is looking like dealers are honouring the new contribution value (fingers crossed)

Just thought I would let you know incase anyone did not realise.  It seems funny that VW do not send out any marketing material letting us know about these new offers.

Hey Ian,

It does wonders to the monthly price! Spoke to my dealer via CarWow last week when I saw the new offer and he added it on straight away which took the payments down by around £20-25.

Sounding good.  Did you have the £1250 contribution before the new offer?

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.

Thats really good.  Why on earth they don't advertise the new promotion I will never know :s

Yep. Ordered in early April, so once I heard I was straight onto the dealer. As it's VW Finance I presume the dealers aren't too fussed as long as they get their end of the money - so no reason not the advertise the increase!

Good find, thanks for sharing - my order went in end of April so have also got straight on to the dealer

Hi all,

Long time member, but haven't been very activate over the last 4 years as I decided to go down the BMW route. However, I'm pleased to say that I am selling the BMW and collecting my new GTi in a couple weeks and this thread particularly caught my attention.

I ordered mine at the beginning of April when the PCP APR was 4.8% and the deposit contribution was £1250.

Since I saw this thread yesterday I got onto my dealer to see if they would increase the contribution. He said he could get me on the £2000 contribution deal but the APR has increased to 5.4%. But the second interesting thing he said is that on this deal the final payment (GFV) would drop significantly compared to my previous deal, which would result in me paying more per month (despite the term and the annual mileage remaining unchanged compared to my original deal). He's sent me an official quotation confirming this.

Before I go back and admit defeat I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this? Have those guys that have been moved across onto the new deal seen their GFV decrease compared to the deal they were on when they originally ordered?

Cheers

My original deal was set up at the end of April and moving to the new deal will save me £20 / month.  It looks like I was on 5.4% APR on the earlier deal

Yes do be mindful of this happening.

The Apr has gone up and some of the GFV's have dropped so over all it's not always cheaper per month on the new campaign.

Always ask for a separate quote first because if they re propose you first then the old quote will no longer be valid.
