I believe cars delivered to customers before the end of March are price protected.

I believe cars delivered to customers before the end of March are price protected.

Although historically VW cars have been price protected once ordered, would that be the case as far as import tariffs are concerned in the event of a no deal outcome to Brexit negotiations? Would vehicle manufacturers absorb import tariffs on cars ordered before 31/12/2020 but not delivered until 2021?

Hopefully the T’s & C’s on new vehicle order forms signed by customers clarify VW’s stance on this.

Evening, so I ordered a GTI + DCC + Dolphin grey on a VW business lease. Now have confirmed delivery February 21 but I’ve been pushing on the lease price, finally got it down to £405/month 15k mileage/yr. Happy now, just thought I’d Chuck that into the pricing mix.

There is a few important terms that are not mentioned online.

One important thing is that you must take delivery of the car within 10 days of it arriving at the supplying retailer so if it arrives on the 17th of February you must take delivery by the 27th leaving it on a 70 plate rather than 21 plate.

Retail orders only means anyone on contract hire is not protected against any possible brexit price increase.

Retail ordes mean customer purchasing outright, PCP or Hire purchase.

Is there a rough way to work out monthly depreciation for a three year old MK7.5 towards four years. I’m trying to decide if waiting a year won’t matter much or if after three years the value drops more rapidly?  Is there a figure I can use?

[evo1986]

Used car prices right now are at an all time high if you are thinking of changing I would urge you to do it now.

Not just because I work at a dealership and it’s our job to sell cars but because as people will know on here I am honest and know the bubble will burst and used car are going to start to drop.

A car out of warranty is worth clearly less to any customer whether that be private sale or a garage in part exchange.

Are PCH customers retail or fleet? Or are they just not valued by VW?

Pch is someone's Fleet. You aren't the vw customer, the lease company is.
