I see from the BBC website that VW Group are announcing a diesel scrappage scheme. Details are at the link, but is it cynical to say that they've waited until the new registration date to announce this? It doesn't affect me as I'm heading back from petrol to diesel tomorrow, but it might make others hold fire with the cheque book.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41114738

 

Just a co-incidence that it is launched as UK car sales fall as most people have less money.  Finally they stop ripping off buyer and return to the days when I use to get 20% (ie thy pay VAT equivalent).    Money off a nice Audi TFSI semi-tempting.

So they buy your used car for what you would usually get trading one in at a VW Group Main Dealership then they give you all this money off the new one as well!   Not!.

headline grabbing false penitence, if you ask me. 

You could probably get those levels of discount normally for most of those models, regardless  of what you're trading in.

Expect plenty of "we can't give you any more of a discount because we're already doing this...."

 

ETA - does anyone have a link to more information that isn't in the D***y M**l ?

Quick google brings up quite a few reports...

Also has it on the VW website...

Added VW link

ta - found a mention on BBC as well

 

as with other manufacturers, it's based on cars older than those affected by dieselgate. It's so nice to see VW doing something to make up for the cheating (..........NOT)

I'm going to trade in my 140k miles 56'reg Mercedes C class sportcoupe for a Nissan Leaf.

 

Nissan are offering approved used Leaf with £2000 discount for old car trade-in ON TOP OF the trade in price of the car. So I'll be able to get £3000+ out of this car that's only worth ~£2000 on the used market. This means also able to buy a second hand Leaf, which are already cheap to begin with.

 

Skoda Octavia as family car and long distance travel. Nissan Leaf for wife's local motoring (she won't drive more than 20 miles away from home). Perfect.

Has anyone approached a dealer yet to find out the small print.... how long does the scrappage car need to be owned before you trade it in?

 

I can see a nice little earner for buying a sub £1,000 diesel car with a long MOT

6 months... It's in the article linked.

 

 

...and the scheme will be complete in less than 6 months from now.

 

 

Edited 2 September, 20178 yr by camelspyyder

Ah right so they are basically closing the loop hole straight away!

 

Either way it proved to be irrelevant as a Carwow quote has just knocked off £8k (20%) off an e Golf (with has a £5,500 scrappage)  

Remember that the vw group scrappage is not additional to other offers  (like the ford one) so any extra contribution currently offered would not be valid if you took the scrappage deal.

 

Well that's how I read it anyway.

Actually it is for 7 months...

 

"Volkswagen scrappage scheme offers a £5,500 saving on this model when you trade in your old diesel car. Offer applies to orders between 1st September 2017 and 31st December 2017 - to be registered by 31st March 2018. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other existing offer across the Volkswagen range. T&C’s apply, please contact the dealership for further details."

 

(taken from Carwow)  

Cool.

 

so You could buy a scrap diesel now and trade it in, in 6 months time (2nd Mar 18)???

 

shame the deals have to be done before 1 Jan 18.

That was my thoughts,

pity the e Golf will probably not be available to test drive by the end of the month, as that would have meant a FULLY LOADED (£40K) e Golf could be sat on the drive for £22K 

 

(£8K Carwow discount

£5.5K scrappage scheme

£4.5K EV grant)

Looks like being even more of a Buyer / Leasers market from now on while there are new cars in stock needing shifting and ones already built where ever.

Especially for those after a new diesel once the Manufacturers / Dealers get real on the Asking / Selling prices.

Millions of VW's to be recalled in China due to the Airbag issues that affected so many other manufacturers, 

and i see there is mention of a recent recall on Audi's due to some coolant pump issues.

 

?

Are these Airbags totally different from fitted in other world regions because i read that it is VW's built in China and Imported ones and it can be from 2005 on?

 

Then there is this fuel pump recall as well, 

Never rains but it pours for the 2nd biggest manufacturer in the world.

Edited 15 September, 20178 yr by Headinawayoffski

WHY SO LATE?

 

This airbag recall has been going on since at least 2014.

 

Takata and Honda were seemingly aware in 2008.

 

Another class action suit looming for VW?

 

http://blog.caranddriver.com/massive-takata-airbag-recall-everything-you-need-to-know-including-full-list-of-affected-vehicles/

 

 

Very strange indeed how long it takes for VW to deal with Safety Critical matters sometimes. 

Eventually there might be some press release to tell owners in other world regions that their VW Group vehicles have safe airbags.

http://bbc.co.uk/news/business-40701600 

 

The CEO could just add it to some announcement on new EV models sometime somewhere and how TESLA are no competition to them selling 100,000 cars compared to there 10 Million.

Or how Diesel Engines are not dead yet or in the near future.,..  Never slow to big up the company.

http://bbc.co.uk/news/business-41231766 

Maybe time VW moved their butts on New Vehicles, getting Recalls done, and spending more on spin doctors to say why they are quicker 

at saying what they will do than actually ever doing it.
