Have you ordered an 8.5 ?

Looks like the Golf's on DrivetheDeal have already increased by £500 list price!

Hi all, first time poster here (returning to the forum after 5 years away) - ordered an 8.5 Clubsport last week in Kings Red with almost a full options list. Managed to bag £4500 towards my finance deposit, £600 discount & parking pack as a freebie. I guess the dealer was very keen to get my business !
Been told to expect Dec - Feb for delivery.

Sounds like she’ll be a bute! looks to me like VW are keen to get these out there, many are reporting similar incentives.

Either VW are keen to get the mk8.5 Golf out there or maybe;
a) they’ve been struggling with new vehicle sales
or
b) they have some very ambitious sales targets
or
c) a combination of both (a) and (b).

Some other models also have what I’d consider to be quite generous financial incentives too - e.g. finance deposit contribution of £4,500 on the Passat, £3,500 on the Taigo and £3,000 on the T-Roc. There’s also the additional £750 summer sale finance deposit contribution on top of those figures until 3rd September.

I went via Carwow which got me £1250 deposit contribution, then got £3250 as well on top thanks to their promotion. Certainly not complaining !

Congrats, i would give them a shout and try and push for a little more if possible.. i managed to squeeze them for nearly 6k contribution in the end on a GTI.

Wow! Is that 6k figure on top of any discount, summer sale and VWFS loyalty incentive??

You did well, I managed to get £5400 in total in the end, which wasn’t far off DTD at the time, and it turns out that they were not able to apply the extra £750 to my order as it was placed too early, so I don’t think I did too bad really, plus they’re taking my Mk8 at full current market value, plus a full tank of juice and some other bits and pieces, all in all I’m happy, and will gladly pay a bit more to be able to collect and deal locally.
