What's the news?
As brands build up their sales pitches for the upcoming 192 registration period, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is rolling out its offers that will apply to all its models sold up until the end of July. Buyers can avail of a contribution of up to €4,000 towards a new vehicle in conjunction with a zero per cent HP lending rate. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles also has leasing offers that start from €45 per week without the need to pay an upfront deposit.
Additionally, the brand is set to launch a new service offer at the cost of €259, excluding VAT, for all models. This offer includes the replacement of engine oil, all filters, brake fluid and complimentary AdBlue refills for 12 months from the service date, along with one-year roadside assistance and free tyre insurance. For those with vehicles registered in 2011 or earlier, a 20 per cent discount applies to all service repairs.
Speaking at the announcement of these offers, Alan Bateson, Managing Director at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Ireland, said: We are having an exceptional year in 2019, and we want to continue this and give Irish commercial vehicle drivers and owners the best offers in the Irish market, with our own bank offering; 0% HP, PCP and lease options. When you consider that you can then add up to €4,000 in savings on top of this, we believe that our offers are the best possible.
"Most manufacturers quote 'or, up to' when they advertise a low HP rate and cash savings, we are different, we don't say 'or'. We will allow customers to combine both, the lowest rate 0 per cent HP and savings of up to €4,000, that's what makes it special. On top of this we have a high loan approval acceptance rate which has grown again this year and if the customer does not want to put down a deposit, they can choose our new lease product where there is no deposit required and they can be on the road for just €45 per week."
