Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles launch ‘192’ plans


Volkswagen Crafter

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles say their new offers are designed 'to give buyers the best possible choice to suit their needs and represent the best choice for motorists considering buying a commercial vehicle between now and the end of July', writes Trish Whelan.

They include an offer of a contribution of up €4,000 towards an order which can be combined with a ‘market leading’ HP rate of 0pc. Additional offers include Ireland’s only Commercial vehicle PCP solution and the company’s own leasing offer from €45 per week with no upfront deposit.

2019 has seen Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles increase both in volume and market share. The main reasons for this are attributed to the Caddy, Ireland’s best-selling vehicle year to date, and the Crafter which has increased by nearly 90 per cent (year-on-year). The company has also invested in stock on the ground with over 50 per cent more stock than last year ensuring a quicker response to customer demand. 

In preparation for the Summer, they are also preparing a new service offer at €259 (excl. VAT) for all models which includes the replacement of engine oil, all filters, brake fluid, free AdBlue refills for 12 months from the date of service, free tyre insurance and 12 months’ free roadside assistance.

For vehicles registered in 2011 or before, all service and repairs have 20pc off.

Commenting, Alan Bateson, Managing Director at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said: “We are having an exceptional year in 2019 and want to continue this and give Irish commercial vehicle drivers and owners the best offers in the Irish market, with our own bank offering 0pc 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." 

The company has a high loan approval acceptance rate which has grown again this year and if a customer doesn’t wish to put down a deposit, they can choose a new lease product where there is no deposit required and they can be on the road from €45 per week.

All Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are available to test drive before purchase with a 24-hour ‘try before you buy’ test drive at any Volkswagen Commercials Dealer nationwide. Vans can also be delivered for test drives.
