Get A Better Van For Less With Volkswagen's Spring Offers

MILTON KEYNES, UNITED KINDOM – April 7, 2009: With the special offers from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles this Spring, including fixed price service plans and some of the best, flexible finance options around, there has never been an easier or more affordable time to buy a Volkswagen Caddy, Caddy Maxi, Transporter or Crafter van.

The durability, stronger residual values and lower whole life costs for Volkswagen vans mean Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Finance can offer highly competitive rates. The result is a 300 per cent increase in business customers buying vans with Volkswagen’s latest contract hire and finance lease offers in the first two months of 2009 compared to the same period last year.

As a result, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Finance has extended its contract hire and finance lease offers until June 30, and introduced them for the Crafter van range. Prices start from £189 a month for a new Caddy with a 3.2m³ loadspace, £209 a month for the Caddy Maxi with 4.2m³ loadspace, or £229 a month for the Transporter T26 with 5.8m³ loadspace. The new rates for the Crafter with at least 7.5 m³ of loadspace start from £299 a month.

Volkswagen’s fixed-price service plan offers have also been extended to June 30. There are four service plans available covering a period of 36 months and a choice of mileage bands – 45, 60, 75 and 90,000 miles (whichever comes first), costing from £295 to £695. The plans are available on any new van for retail customers or business users with fleets of up to 25 vehicles. For all other customers, fixed-price standard service plans are available with the same time and mileage limits from £489 to £1,028. Apart from being an obvious aid to a customer’s financial budgeting, service plans are transferable to subsequent owners and offer the peace of mind and superior residual values of a full service history by trained Volkswagen technicians.

Finally, for used van buyers, Volkswagen has also extended its lease purchase offers, with Caddy vans from only £99 a month, or Transporter vans for £129 a month. The quality and durability of Volkswagen vans makes them just as desirable to subsequent owners, especially with the added peace of mind that the Assured Used programme puts every van through a multi-check process to make it look, feel and perform like new.
