Price rise?

Post by Kev »

Apparently VW have said they are going to have to raise prices before the end of the year due to the increasing cost of materials, particularly steel.

I wonder how much it will bump up the basic price.

I am not surpised to see things like this happening though surely they will only do this is the competition does it as well.

Good thing I have my order in already.

Someone told me there was a price rise due today. Looks like it hasn't materialised.

Yep, I was told by the dealer that the price was going up by £400 in November. This was at the end of September.

This is only good news for those of us who have already taken delivery, or already have a car on order.
It can only up the value of our cars!
Put the prices up by £4000, not £400 I say… ;)
