Hi Guys,

I too am interested if anyone has had any luck with this so far. I called customer services twice and they were useless. Used the online chat and was told that the dealer may be able to do something but that i might have to cancel my order and redo it which seems quite silly to me as surely this would create more work for VW (i currently have a confirmed build week) I've spoken to my dealer to see what they could do, Ill let you guys know when i hear something!

I would think if you cancel and reorder then you will incur the price rise VW recently applied. At least if you stick with it then VW should honour the deal you originally struck if they aren't able to give you the current deal.

Ordered a new GTi last Friday - invoice showing the 1500 deposit contribution, 2 free services as part of the deal.

30 September delivery cutoff wasn't showing on the offer T&C's on the VW website then, also this wasn't mentioned at any point. Could be interesting if it doesn't turn up by the end of Sep!  :smiley:

VW will honour my existing deal (1K deposit contribution) but i would prefer to be on the new deal as even with the price increase (£400) i would be better off as i would get £1500 deposit contribution and 2 free services plus i have noticed that the Guaranteed future value is about 1K higher thus making the monthly payments lower which is what i'm after as i will be using mine as a company car. Just seems silly that i may have to cancel and re order as surely this is more work for VW as it stuff's up their production schedule (my build week is confirmed) and more paperwork for the dealer. The only inconvenience to me is a slightly longer wait time which to be honest i'm not too bothered about!

Indeed! Looking at GTI Jal's dealers email he said the following
Quote
Orders taken during the event but not delivered by end of September will have the additional deposit contribution and free service plan reclaimed

Interesting to know what is meant by "reclaimed" E.g. The dealer will have to reclaim from VW this offer or The offer will be reclaimed meaning VW will take it off you.....

If you've done the maths and you're satisfied the new deal is better than your original deal (even with longer wait) then go for it.

Re the increased GFV, good news if you plan to hand the car back. However if you intend to buy it then obviously your balloon payment is higher and you will have paid out slightly more in interest.

Like I said earlier, my Dealership said they will give me the option of both offers (1k deposit or the 1.5k and the free services), I collect Monday AM so I will let you know if they are going to honour what they've said....

you've got a slightly less than a 3 month window to get this deal... given that they have a summer factory shutdown, it seems unlikely you'd ever get a performance golf delivered in time from a factory order. If they have some vehicles being built already, you might get one, but a brand new order?

I went to my dealership today and asked about the new promotional offer, initially the guy said no because the car is tagged or something,  then he came back and said he phoned up the finance section and they would give me the new deal. 😀😀 So worth asking your dealer about it. I will hopefully pick my car up next week on Friday.
