In an effort to encourage new car buyers back into showrooms and increase sales, Volkswagen Ireland is rolling out what it calls the Volkswagen Assurance Plan. It's a raft of new measures that will be of benefit to customers looking to buy a new car who may be uncertain about signing up to a new finance deal in the upcoming 202 registration period.
For starters, Volkswagen is now offering 0 per cent APR on PCP finance on the Arteon, Passat and Passat GTE, Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace, the e-Golf and the new Golf. Purchase contributions of up to €2,000 are available on both Tiguan models, the new Passat and Passat GTE as well as the Touran and Sharan people carriers.
To spread out the costs of servicing, which are a requirement with most PCP deals, Volkswagen is offering reduced-rate service plans. These cover all of the servicing costs for three years (excluding consumables like tyres and brakes), for €10 per month.
Volkswagen to offer more flexible finance deals
Buyers can opt to pay a deposit of up to 30 per cent for their finance, or none at all under the brand's latest Flexible Finance Options. Additionally, customers can opt for a 90-day payment holiday, so they don't have to begin repayments until three months after collecting their car.
Volkswagen Ireland Brand Director, Rodolfo Calixto, said: "With Volkswagen retailers now very much 'open for business' they are looking forward to welcoming customers back with what we feel is an outstanding suite of offers. We have called it the Volkswagen Assurance Plan because buyers can acquire their car with a tailored finance offers that include flexible deposits, payment deferrals and the assurance of a guaranteed minimum future value when bought with our PCP product."
