When is good deal not such a good deal?!
« on: 03 February 2017, 18:03 »
Looking for a run out bargain GTI I recently secured one of the last Mk7 GTI PP's which was a built car so not possible to spec.

Upon looking into the finance options VW were offering 6.2% on PCP. However the order books have opened for the 7.5 model which VW are offering finance rates of 4.9% plus £1k deposit contribution......so what seemed a good deal is not such a good deal as DTD are offering close to £5k discounts which brings that price very close to the price I achieved on a run out GTI when the lower rate finance rate is taken into account!

I have spoken to my dealer about cancelling but he has stated that there would be a cancellation fee as the car is now in stock which has left me well and truly pi$$ed off! :angry:

That's a shame. Sometimes once you've committed it's best to not look around anymore!

How much did they say the cancellation was going to cost? Contact the dealers manager and ask for the cancellation fee in writing.

Couldn't of put it better :lipsrsealed:
Been there myself and it ain't a great place to be, but I learned real quick that no matter when or where you buy a car there's always gonna be a better deal around the corner :sick:

Only advice I can give is take what you wanted initially and just enjoy it :wink:........well try anyway :kiss:

Ask to see the documentation that you received at time of order that mentions the csncellation fee. If theree's nothing in writing refuse to pay, dealers will try anything if they think they can get away with it. A mate has just got approx £7K off a new MK7 R

I wasn't really looking around but just browsing the new model out of interest when it became known that the finance rate on the new model was lower than that on the run out model. :angry: it would have lessened the impact if VW had kept the rates common across both new and old although I for one would have thought that the new model would of had a higher finance rate due to demand.

I would have never thought that the outgoing model would have higher interest rates when VW are wanting to shift older stock!

I'm pissed not only because of the higher interest rate but because I secured a car that if given the choice I would have chosen a different spec. :sad:

I'm off down to the dealer tomorrow to see what I can make out of a bad situation. I've just checked my paper work which although confirms the vehicle spec it does not contain any T&C's regarding cancellation or the penalties if I should cancel!

I also have a Tiguan R-Line on order with the same dealer which is scheduled to be built next week but I don't think I'll get any favours on any cancellation fees.

If they want to retain your future custom, they might transfer the cost of your non-refundable deposit/cancellation fee to a new deal. How much deposit did you put down?.
