    All Golfs 1.5% p.a. comparison rate including R until March 31

    I had left a $1000 deposit on a stock white GTI DSG at an agreed price of $39600 driveaway and 6.7% p.a. comparison rate on a novated lease over 5 years.

    I am still waiting to hear back from the dealers as to whether the finance has been approved but now that I have seen this offer, do you think that 1.5% p.a. will be a better deal bearing in mind that they had free on road costs if purchased before 31st December? I am assuming that with the 1.5% the price of the car will increase, but wanted to get some feedback from others.

    Thanks.

    Same story here.. I left a deposit last week (car should be delivered within the next three weeks) and requested VW finance..

    Am I entitled to this 1.5 comparison rate?

    What were the specs of your car and what rate did you leave the deposit if you don't mind me asking?

    I am in the same situation but I believe the prices won't be as competitive as before the 31st of dec. Also you are not entitled to the above if you are entitled to corporate or corporate plus discounts from my understanding. But please correct me if I am wrong see below

    *1.5% comparison rate available to approved personal applicants of Volkswagen Finance** for the financing of new Golf stock vehicles over 36 or 48 months. Balloon restrictions apply. Vehicles must be sold and delivered between 1st January and the 31st March 2013. While stocks last. Standard fees and charges apply. Full conditions are available on application. Not available in conjunction with any other offer or with Volkswagen’s Corporate, Corporate Plus, Rental or Government assistance programs. Volkswagen Finance** reserves the right to extend or change this offer. **Volkswagen Finance is a trading name of Volkswagen Financial Services Australia Pty Limited ABN 20 097 071 460, Australian Credit Licence Number 389344.

    It's false economy, you'll be paying full RRP price with no discounts. You'll end up paying 5000 to 8000 more than they were selling for a few weeks ago.

    Keenly looking on the web at all the deals going for a Golf convertible and may wander down to the dealer tomorrow. Wondering if they'll do the 1.5% on one of the demonstrators or the <1500km near news they're advertising. They're significantly cheaper. Anyone now if a demo car is still classified as new by a dealer for finance?

    Legally in Victoria, demo cars are technically used vehicles and are sold as such, but the owner's manual will show you as the first owner and as far as VW Australia are concerned, you're the first owner. Hope this helps!

    Bought a Golf R today on the 1.5% finance and no I didn't pay retail, over 4 years the +6% difference is very good IMO.
