I have noticed that the online configurator has been updated again and a new price list uploaded.
The only changes I can see is that pure white paint has now become a no cost option...
Something that was pointed out on the VW Polo forum is that the factory warranty extension to 4 or 5 years that you could spec at the time of ordering a new car has been dropped. It used to appear in the price list in the same section as the service plan information but it’s no longer there. It isn’t in the list of selectable options in the configurator either, and it’s been removed from the ‘Warranty’ section on VW’s website. So, not being included in the price list doesn’t look to be an error; it looks as if VW have stopped offering this.
You can still buy an extended warranty when your car gets to 3 years old, but it won’t be as comprehensive as the extended factory warranty, and it’ll probably cost more - especially if you opt for the ‘all component’ level of cover with nil excess.
Maybe the number and type of warranty claims in years 4 and 5 we’re making it unsustainable for VW to continue offering this?
