good deal but DSG version better

That is bonkers cheap, DSG is £119.99 inc for 5k but worth finding out the ppm before paying for 8k.
I`d consider this if I wasn`t a year into a lease already.

great deal! Insurance cost counts me out I'm afraid, otherwise I'd be all over this. heated.

Just getting a quote from More Than, my own insurance is due soon
My Car : Skoda Yeti TDI 170 : £420
This Car : VW Passat Alltrack 190 DSG : £494
All is well until I change the Owner to Leasing company, then I get "We are unable to provide a quote" :disappointed:
GoCompare next

That's a very good deal, even when you up the mileage to 10k.

If I'm a director of a company (self employed), can i purchase the car as company deal?

is this for a new registration car? not keen on the estate though and it's not coming up as a saloon. any one help out please?

great deal. haven't seen much of this model on road though.. any opinion from hukd'ers?

Nah.

Done it plenty of times myself.

Doing that with your car insurance though is another matter.

This is a crazy price, gotta be an error. Unless VW have lost a big fleet deal on these and need to shift them.

Get in quick and cross your fingers.

Question for those in the know on Insurance
Owner is the lease company, is the registered keeper me or the lease company?

I have a job interview next week , so don't yet know if I'll need this or not. One week later and this would have been great, but I bet they're all going to be snapped up by then!

Hot though!

£1680/yr for a big auto estate - you almost can't afford not to have it, even if you don't need a car that big.

Normally the auto is the major stumbling block for me. As it's usually such an expensive option, I end up buying something nearly new and keeping it a long time. Only bought my current car (Kia Cee'd) in November, and in the end it's probably only going to work about £200 a year cheaper than this.

Oh well, I don't really need a car this big so I guess I won't lose too much sleep. Oh and silly big wheels, no thanks, cushy ride all the way for me. I get that it looks good in the brochure and some people like them, but wish you could at least get the smaller ones as a no-cost option?

Ex taxi, sick on the rear bench, galactic miles with a free wooden beaded seat cover (driver side only).

Thanks for that. Is it the same car? Cauz from picture it seems like they are both different car :neutral_face:

I doubt you are breaking the contract, however
If you took out 5k mileage and did 13k I suspect they may add additional charges. Some leases have Xppm for the first 2k miles (for example) over the allowance, and a higher rate for additional mileage over that. I would certainly be checking if I knew I was going to more than double it.

I'm just about to buy a 2011 Audi A6 for £10,000, I'm wondering if I'd be better off with this lease with 12k mileage !

It'll be under warranty for the entire lease. The only thing you would be liable for are things like tyres and brake pads, but you shouldn't need to change these in the 2 years.

If you crash, your insurance will cover it, same as if it was your own car. Check your insurance company does new for old in the first year (most do).

Car tax is included in leases too btw.

​dont understand. is it a new car registration or not and is it only an estate?

company is the registered keeper

The Passat Alltrack comes with front and rear parking sensors as standard, 18 inch alloys, sat nav and has the added benefit of 4motion when compared to the A4 Avant. It's significantly cheaper even when you compare it to some of the deals from a couple a months ago.

Oh and will I need to arrange a service?

Top deal!

I am a chartered accountant so the need to have someone look at it for me is not needed sunshine, if you do not want to help then do not post silly comments. Simples.

nice deal. very tempting. :heart_eyes:

It's a new car so has three years warranty (unless it's something you break then you must pay)
You still need insurance so you crash and you will probably claim on insurance

Smashed mirror due to cyclist I presume, needs a full replacement nearly £500. Dints in bodywork from leaving car in car parks. On top of that, alloy damage and I lost a key (both my fault). Probably £1.5k but may be able to get the bill down a bit.

how much road tax? who pays?

Lease company but many are happy if you explain, i know Admiral were

​Indeed, it's a £34k+ retail car, compared to £28k for the audi. This price is probably the best lease deal I've ever seen

Agree, I used NVS for my Pug 208 GTI for £168pm and £168 deposit :smile:

Just pointing out to people that it's not like running an old car.

Extra miles tend to be 7.2p so worth just paying that instead of the extra £30 a month. Mega deal. I got the Tiguan at £107 a month about a year ago but would defo be into this one!!

Yeah fair one that's a pretty good comparison, I was in the market for a brand new 4wd estate to cart the kids and dog around but I ended up buying a classic sports car. I bet you're the type of guy who gets sent to the shop by your mum to get some milk and comes back with some magic beans.

COLD. Unless you're over 50, wear slippers and smoke a pipe.

I'd be very interested in you finding a rather nice for 3k car which will still be worth 3k in 2 years with no breakdowns and the worries like replacing clutches, failing electrics and everything else associated with a ten year old car.

Lease deals are aimed at people who would consider buying new really. A 3k car was originally 28k, someone paid that and it's depreciated down to 3. A 3k car would loose at least half its value in 2 years, so it has cost you 1.5k plus any repairs. Looking at this deal how can you say it's not good value ?

They offer fixed price service plans, so you can budget for that in the price.
volkswagen.co.uk/own…ans

This looks good nationalvehiclesolutions.co.uk/Vol…130

Looks like that has the more powerful engine, 190PS instead of 150PS. Apart from that (and the DSG of course) I think they will be the same. The picture is of the previous gen Passat. If it's new they presumably just used the wrong picture.

Anyone ordered or contacted them to check delivery date?

Thanks

I reckon if I wasn't in the A4 deal, I'd be looking at this. The 1.4 in the Audi is reasonably swift, it's less than a second of this is the 0 - 62 time (8 vs 8.7). It does feel a shade slow off the mark though but it is very quiet, you barely hear it unless you rev it hard. Don't think you can get it wrong either way really.

Stonking!

He already helped you :smile:
In simple language
All lease cars are brand new unused cars, so the registration obviously would be of a new car.
Alltrack models are the estate version not saloon.
So if you are only looking for a saloon car this deal isnt for you
Hope that answers your question

Pretty sure the 150PS model is a couple thousand cheaper. But I do agree with your comment - this is the best lease deal I've seen to date considering the car's list price and the kit that comes as standard.

An extra £14/month for the DSG and more grunt is a no-brainer.

For those that say that leased cars are always new, this is not entirely true. I say not entirely true rather than incorrect because I've seen isolated cases where used cars are offered but they are few and far between.

A while ago, I was searching contracthireandleasing.com that leased cars are almost always new - there were a few 3 series BMW deals on there that looked super cheap and when I went to the details pages, it was a used car.

Anyway, sod the crap story and onto the deal... it's new and a hot price. I'll be calling up tomorrow for the terms and conditions on the DSG model.

Voted hot

A smart repair workshop could have fixed the dints and alloys for much less.

Great deal, unlike alot of lease companys NVS deals are often genuine - like the VW Golf R deal i posted a couple of years ago

Thanks

Yes. They have replied to say credit check had been approved and confirmed 12 weeks for build.

Really happy, thanks op!

I have never looked at leasing - what happens if someone dings it at a car park or scratches etc?

Correct, nearly new VAT qualifying cars are sometimes available usually pre registered that haven't been on the road and also high value specialist used cars can also be leased - basically anything that still qualifies within tax regulations is leasable.

​Nice car, I'd be happy to drive that for the money, unlike most recent lease deals. 190bhp, 18" alloys, nice colour, 4wd, DSG.

Lease deals are always new cars, I am surprised that someone who can qualify as a chartered accountant but knowing that.

Take out 5k mileage, back the odo for 100-150ish do whatever mileage you want for pennies

however... a 8year old car good brand car ( bmw/honda/vw/audi) which is 3k will still be more or less the same 3k :wink:
If you buy some few years old crap vauxhall/ford than sure it will will be worth peanuts.

Not saying this deal is not good, because it is unlike others posted on here but I will stick to good value used cars at least it's mine and I don't have to worry about messing it up or someone scratching it or going over the milage allowance.

Not quite what I was talking about with respect to service intervals... This is probably a better way of sharing the answer:

volkswagen.co.uk/own…mes
You can choose from two types of service regimes, depending on your driving methods.
Fixed Service (Time and Distance)
Flexible Service Regime (LongLife Service)

actually not a nice colour, urano is the non metallic grey if I remember right, but still great value....

Thanks for clarifying :smile:
So does any one think it is better to go for an auto? Actually i am really looking forward for this deal and atm I am fed up with manual gears .

>>>>>

Nice one Lady, pop an email over to Simon at Venus aka NVS and say..

1: You found the deal on hukd!
2: Could you "pretty please" have it a bit earlier than 12 weeks [you might be pleasantly surprised!] :sunglasses:

wheels are like willies, you want the biggest possible even if it ends up uncomfortable.

I haven't given it back yet. I am hoping to source the mirror off eBay, key will what it is and dints and alloys, you are right. Just remember the TCO needs to include all of this as they are very strict when you hand it back. Still a great way of running a new car but be careful with comparisons with old vehicles. Driving a new car is great also, the specs in recent years have improved so much.

That is a stonking deal.

Heat

Fantastic offer that. Just don`t get the 5000 miles pa idea in combo with the diesel engine. But hey ho. Hot

This does look an amazing deal; my next car will be needed soon and I was considering an Octavia Estate but this is so much cheaper. Can someone tell me the downside of leasing in a nutshell. Is there some hidden catch I need to be wary of?

you are fuked and need to cover it from your pocket and of course pay premium price for it.
another positive for an used good cheap car that you don't have to worry about that stuff.

Get the work done before the lease company see the car and your bill will be far lower than they will charge you, the mirror and key won't be cheap but a decent dent guy wouldn't charge you more than £100-150 even if every panel on the car was dented several times.

Oh and budget £50 an alloy max unless they are 'diamond cut' then you're looking at £75-100.

Cold, can buy a classic sports car for less than this, and keep it!

Advice I got from lease company and insurance company was the lease company is registered owner and you are the registered keeper. I think mine was about £250 with lease company as registered keeper and came down to about £210 when I changed it to me as registered keeper

Business user yes! Put it through your company. I'm sure your accountant can walk you through the finer detail.

So say I wrote the car off, insurance pays 5k less than list price, am I liable for the 5k

Do you have these statistics to hand?

Cars are getting safer, hence why insurance groups usually come down when a new model is introduced.

Personal injury claims are at an all time high, make a car stop automatically or designed to cushion pedestrians with an airbag and it brings the group down.

Same goes for security, back when the Focus was introduced, Ford placed a bonnet lock behind the badge, it lowered the group. Same goes for curtain airbags and many other features added over the years.

It is an item worth thousands of pounds that demands research before purchasing. It isn't a portion of baby rice.

Alltracks are estate bodied vehicles and lease cars are new. You never own it but don't foot the depreciation either.

Great deal. Cheaper than my Scout :disappointed:

Can you order this without receiving a quote first? I assume the lease companies will be busy first thing tomorrow.

Absolutely stonkingly good price

Wow, the first deal that tempts me to ditch my Ford Privilege deal

Almost a record. Nearly 2 hours before Amon-believer pitches in and spouts steam from their blown radiator/head gasket.

If it's not for you, don't let the leaf Spring slap you on the way out.

Cheers, Go Compare came up with some reasonable quotes - £435
Will talk to More Than in the morning to see what they say

The only negatives I see with leases are that I believe some companies are picky when you return the car and charge you for any minor blemish. You obviously never own the car, some people are not happy about this. Personally I am new to leasing and the way I look at it is that if for a set budget I can drive a new car I like and it's less than what the depreciation is if I were to buy it - I would lease rather than buy.

You may wish to look into gap insurance as I'm not sure of the situation if the car is written off.

But this is a super deal. A hell of a lot of car for the money, I think ford charge more than this for a basic fiesta.

Was in home bargains last week, was cheaper if i remember (_;)

In another recent lease thread one person commented that their lease car was given back with all 4 corners scraped from london parking and kerbed alloys. They were surprised how little they charged for the damage, so it may be worth talking to the lease company before doing anything.

​very vague there, I hope someone else helps out better!!!!

I need an auto and do 13k mileage p.a. so would it be cheaper to go for the 12k allowance and pay 1000miles excess or should I stick with the 5k allowance and pay 8000miles excess? I hope this deal doesn't have extortionate excess penalty over the original agreed mileage

Cheers op ordered with my disability benefit. 12 weeks. whoopp.

True, you mean like this? Think about it, no more checking your tyre pressures or getting ripped off for expensive rubber every few thousand miles.

Mirror cover and glass are usually what smashes on a wing mirror unless you've been even more unfortunate. Worth noting that EuroCarParts sell mirror covers in paint primer for £55 and the glass £50

I doubt BMW will check these are original parts on hand over but I can tell you that the mirror glass will look similar to the original. If the tint on the replacement mirror glass is different, you can either swap both or source this from ebay.

Ridiculous deal! Get in there quick!! Hot hot hot!!

Haha, well I'm biased as all I drive is automatics on the public road. I personally see the H-pattern manual as obsolete; even if you're having a track day or on the twisty open roads I would prefer a sequential manual. Still, some people don't get on with auto for whatever reason.

I suggest taking a decent test drive, if you're fed up of manual shifting it sounds like you'd like it. Why pump the clutch all day in stop go traffic and around town? The car is essentially a labour saving device, so I say save as much as possible :smile:
The DSG in general is really good, I have not driven this exact car, but haven driven a few VAG products with DSG and thought on balance it is the best auto to drive, and I've driven a fair few. Also, unlike older autos there is no performance or fuel economy penalty.

What if it needs any warranty work?

Have you priced up? Usually new cars are far cheaper to insure than old ones due to most users take better care of them.

Forget the 0-60 times. 0-30, 30-50 and 50-70 are more useful. It's not often you belt it from standstill to 62 miles an hour.

I've got the last shape A4 and if I didn't have that I'd be all over this deal and that's with my hatred of diesel.

Just received the same offer from another leasing broker, so unlikely to be an error.

Works out cheaper to pay the 7.2ppm excess mileage than to commit to a higher mileage from the outset.

As part of the personal lease is everyone else's showing £TBC for the price?

I'm also a little concerned about the lack of security on the site when filling in the application details!

I think messing around with the oddometer is a slippery slope. And if I'm not mistaken illegal

You don't really need to worry about going over mileage allowance that much. 7.5ppm works out at £75 for 1000 miles, it's not a huge amount, half the price of an alternator maybe?

I'd be happy to speculate that Range Rovers are stolen to order and Passat Alltracks are not X)

I really want this now!!

Aw ****, signed up for the audi a4 deal which is £1200 more than this. Actually prefer the look of this :disappointed:

Oops missed that about the parking sensors.... I on the VW configurator it gave rear parking assist as an extra option for £200. Appreciate being corrected and I do think it's a great price

Only available as an estate, its VW's Scout, Allroad, Alltrack equivalent.

I am going to sort out the mirror as that's got to be cheaper off a written off car. Advice I have always had is do the dents and alloys yourself but I have heard that the companies do have a view on normal wear and tear.

crackin deal

This does look fairly amazing. I've never had a lease car so don't know all the ins and outs, what's the situation if you need a towbar fitting? I assume there's some sort of penalty involved?

Thanks OP. :smile:

A figure of 7.2p per excess mile is being thrown around.

Is there a limit on how many excess miles I can do at that price?

Can I take out the 5k/year lease and pay an extra £360 (5,000 x 0.072) for the extra 5,000 miles I need, rather than paying the £936 difference by selecting the 10,000 miles option?

I've seen on other deals people mention that the price per excess mile dramatically increases once you pass a certain limit.

Any help is appreciated.

Depends on your mileage. Most VW cars are on variable servicing. In a 2 year lease at 10k miles a year you'll probably need to pay for 1 service. If you're only doing 5k or 8k a year, it might not need servicing in the 2 years at all. When I had a new A3 a few years ago, the service light didn't first come on until 18k miles.

Best car deal since the golf r deals! Awesome.

Does anyone know for sure what the excess miles charge is ? In their FAQs, thats just an example?

Cant figure whether to get the 5k and pay excess or 10k ,

I hope it's not Blind Person's Allowance, although the all round parking sensors would come in handy.

Can you show which 8 year old BMW/Honda/Audi/VW you can get for £3k? Would genuinely like to know?

I was unlucky and the actual housing is smashed and the led turn indicator sheared off. Thanks though.

Amazingly hot

What is vague about stating Alltracks are all estates and lease cars are new.
Would you like spoon fed?
Your sitting on an Internet enabled device with a search engine. Rather than trying to be funny or just down right obstinate. Go and use the tools available to you.

Yep, fraud be illegal. There was some joker on here a while back offering his services changing the odometer on cars.

Muppets like that ruin the industry.

​I am pretty sure almost all new VWs are on annual/10000 mile servicing. I researched this because I was surprised it was the case for my new golf. The last BMW and sasb I owned were more like 18-24 month on my milage and I got used to it.

And how many are sold for every thousand Fiesta, Focus or Corsa? The premium end of the market is small compared to the mass market family cars.

Any comparables but with stock vehicles?

Forgive me for being dense, but can someone explain what the 'initial rental' period means? It is customisable between from 3-9 months. Is this in addition to the 24 month lease?

​Take the 5k then contact them mid lease for extra miles, they'll give you a discount on the 7.2p.

Not there's no limit on extra miles with vw

Probably a Jazz with 100k on the clock or some CAT C/D nightmare.

£40 off ebay... ebay.co.uk/itm…215?hash=item2811988d87:g:11UAAOSwDNdV6DQ6

The current engine model this car uses is ,I believe, is one which is subject to a recall. My friend who has the Passat is still waiting as he has been informed they are waiting for a remedy from VW.

5000 miles a year wow. Stephen Hawkins probably travels more than that in his wheelchair.

If this lease is financed by VWFS, then their excess mileage charge is applied between 0 - 999,999 miles. They don't usually have tiered pricing either so it should be cheaper to go for the 5k allowance.

Why what's wrong with his alternator?

​Though it says the flexible long life servicing is only recommended for driving >9000 miles per year of low load constant speed motorway driving. If you don't do this ECU is still going to put the service light on every 12 months.

I doubt the new ones are affected.

Yep me too, get it in four weeks. This looks an exceptional deal especially for the DSG version being auto and 190bhp for just £12/month more.
If it's not a mistake it's one of the best lease deals I have seen.

I really don't know "but I believe in a thing called love"

What about the expired one of today? bit of a fake so..................

It's a well known fact amongst the industry. Don't believe the bull about the Focus needing a key to open the bonnet, you could still pull a cable on the bonnet catch to open it which is a good job because they often seized up! Modern cars have several ways to steal, from reprogramming ECU's via the OBD to burglary of the keys and as for safety, payout on disabled through serious injury is usually more than death!

New cars are seen as a lower risk in the insurance industry, that's the facts so get over it

they are, but for 2.0 diesels its just a software update to sort it out, so probably already been done before goes bck in market

I dont know if I prefer the look but I prefer the price!!!! - Still waiting for build date for the Audi!!!

Even I'm anti-lease deals and for 3k you can get a rather nice used car this is a good deal indeed.
which you will be able to sell for the same 3k most probably if chosen wisely after the 2years, but than again not everyone is poor like me :grin: and for most of the englishman 3k is just peanuts.

Wow this is an amazing deal. Just be aware, I got another amazing deal on a BMW 4 Series and I am faced with a bill of way over £1k when I give it back due to damage to the car not sustained by me. Bear this in mind, it's not like running an old car.

Sorry, I wasn't dismissing your points about stats, just the poster's point about being newer cars more likely to be stolen - it's a blanket statement for a subjective issue, as you have made clear already :smile:

You should really let someone else look after your finances if you can't work it out.

7.2p for each additional mile

this is a STONKING deal.

if your in the market for anything even similar or smaller. buy this !!!

Yep
But that's what Gap insurance is for another insurance to make up for the shortfall from your insurance.

I might be being stupid but what is the actual process for ordering?
Do I just need to get a quote or do I need to apply for the personal finance?

Thanks

Have you....have you seen the light?

Lol. The newer ones are less likely to maim or kill those in and around and should be harder to pinch and less likely to be stripped for spares.

Older ones are more likely to be written off in minor bumps.

Surely they would do this before you get the car on new ones?
I really can't see them selling them now after they've been caught.

And I'm an astronaut.

This deal will suit you better for the paper round, kid.

Stop wasting everyone's time.

Mm. I do 39000 miles a year, lease companies won't touch me

I guess it depends then. I wonder how they decide as both of the VAG cars I've had have been variable servicing.

Amazing deal! Gutted I'm still 9 months away from the end of my lease.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here....

5k = £119.99
8k = £143.99
Difference = £24 / £0.072 = 333.33 Miles per month = 3999.99 miles per year

5k + 3999.99k = 8999.99k

So it is cheaper to pay the penalty than the 8k upgrade as you get 9k for your money at the break even point?

teh 190bhp DSG version is £3360 all in for 2 years thats £140/month .... mad price :sunglasses:
may be even worth me cancelling the audi avant I have on order ?? (_;)

Yes they will, you just won't like the payment figures!

If you're happy with the mileage and price then you don't need a quote.

Brilliant - and one of them is local to me.
Much appreciated

​I'm thinking the same, it's a no brainer

should do a FAQ or two for these posts - one full of normal nonsense that is posted and another with all the personal opinions that constantly get posted.

Is there a deal for auto tranmission?

You are breaking the contract if you deliberately know that you will do more than the agreed mileage.

Lease deals like this are a complete no brainer and I'll be leasing as long as deals like this are around (I got the first Audi A4 deal from NVS which is even better than the current A4 deal). This though is an absolute bargain, to compare with buying a new car, you could have something like a 1.0L Suzuki Celerio instead for around a similar cost per month. I know which car I'd rather be driving.

What was the damage?

Anybody think VW will match the deal to save on the administration fee?

I prefer the look of the A4 and it has a few more extras. For any colour other than grey on the VW prices start at £545 and parking sensors start at £200 so you could soon build up extra cost.
Great price though

HOT!!!

Why didn't you get it fixed then?

If you owned the car and tried to sell it, the car would be worth less money than mint.

Gutted that I still have 15 months left on my lease, would have gone for this :disappointed:

Not heard of him. Is he Justin's brother?

No doubt the usual cold voters will be along to say they've seen one better/cheaper in Farmfoods/Heron foods as with everything.

And one just for the Dudley fella with his 'sports car'.

Nope, this already uses SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to control NOX emissions, so no recall needed but it will need AdBlue.

The contract will have an excess mileage fee included.

I bet you think the mobile phone companies will sue if you go over your texts.

I've got the A4 saloon and it's a very nice piece of kit. Tough call though not a bad position to be in as I'll bet these are nice as well but I wouldn't say it's a no brainer. Go and take a look at the Audi if you haven't been in one yet.

I just paid a deposit, 2 weeks ago, on a 1.4tsi skoda yeti L&k. would have been all over this otherwise.

might try to convince the mrs to go for this.

Figured this out: is just for calculating the initial payment and nothing to do with number of months on the lease...

I test drove the 1.4 engine, and whilst capable of isn't a patch on the diesel unit in this & the DSG is superb. The audi interior was lovely though, not sure what this looks like

I don't know if it is still the case but in days of old, the dealership was able to code in variable or fixed interval servicing for VW Audi cars.

Id second this. The DSG gearbox is renowned for being a great transmission. I drove the old Passat CC with it and it's just lovely to drive. I personally like the idea of the extra grunt of 190BHP combined with the DSG with 4wd thrown in - although I've never driven one I can imagine it's a great drive.

Can I ask some newbie questions..
What if something breaks? Am I liable to fix it?
What happens if I crash?
Cheers

I predict it's going to fail in the next 2 years in an 8 year old car (I've been sticking pins in an effigy of it !!). Then he'll be sat, head in hands thinking I could have driven an extra 2000miles in a brand new car for the cost of this :stuck_out_tongue:

Depends what breaks.
You die.

No newer cars are more likely to be stolen to order, it has sod all to do with their ability to maim and kill, statistically drivers of newer cars have less claims than older ones, thats a fact so jog on!

Yeah that's why you are here looking for bargains Lolol

Yeah that's why you are here looking for bargains Lolol

Yup a 4wd estate would have no call for whatsoever in an African or middle east country whatsoever....

gotta love those wooden beads on you backside thou ;p

Wow. Amazing fixed price deal to drive a new car. One of the best lease deals I've ever seen, and I'm a real saddo who watched the lease market closely. Props to the OP. This time I've saved myself an awful lot of stress by not reading all the standard idiotic comments about second hand BMW;s, throwing your money away etc...

What was the deposit?

What was the admin fee?

And what spec Tiguan? Engine size? Transmission? etc

why do they need so much info to apply?
you only need a name and 5 years worth of address to run a full credit check.
That's a whole lot of info to be denied at the end.

I would say more C63 owners HAVE to fit a tracker to get insurance so why bother posting the list? An Alltrack Passat might not be on everybody's red hot want to drive list but the value of its components to a breaker as it shares parts with every other xar in the VW group or its use in a far away country is very desirable regardless of how well it sells here. Oddly VW have done silly lease deals on Golf R's too, you saying they are rubbish too because VW decided to get them out there for people to see and so they had prime stock to sell in their dealerships when they came back from lease?

VW often do deals on strange models that they produce, last strange models I can thiink of was the Highline, a S spec model that had leather seats albeit in the flat awful S style rather than the better Sport versions and the R that was a Sport on the inside and and R on the outside but standard running gear.

How did you place the order, via the website or did you get a quote through first? Assume you still need to sign the finance paperwork so it's not a sealed deal?

Passat has been ordered! Delivery within 12 weeks.

are people going with NVS or whatcar ???

heat added

Hmm. It does appear to be real. I'm online to my local dealer right now and she's said there has been big money subsidy thrown at this. She's running a quote for me... will update soon.

Yep me too, just in the final stages currently. Best bargain I've had in years, big heat for the OP.

I wonder if they can order them in nicely so that they're not afraid?

Ha couldn't find anything to back up your nonsense.

I'm not denying newer cars are cheaper to insure, but it's not down to people looking after them better.
It's security and safety.

Who only does 5K a year in a car? Might as well walk it.

My order for the DSG just got approved. Hmm.. I wish the colour was nicer if I am honest.

I mostly travel locally so I think 5,000 will be OK.. coming from an Mazda RX8 which is literally killing me in fuel and maintenance costs - this will be quite a different drive.

That's not an order though, is it? The order becomes an order when the supplying dealership puts it through their system to produce a build number.

I've got a quote saved from VW and provided them with my card details and finance info. Hopefully that's enough to secure me one but I'm not hopeful.

There are more desirable cars for thieves to steal to order than the Alltrack. It's not on anyone's shopping list as VW's sales of the Alltrack are poor.

Passat has been ordered! Delivery within 12 weeks.

Sod it, just hit apply. How do I explain this to the wife lol.

​It's this I'm afraid, the system the brokers use to get dealer prices (calas) has been updated wrongly by VW. Two dealers I've spoken to this morning have confirmed head office have sent a memo out to cancel it

Love to see how many get this ???? I bet HHHHuuuuummmmmm NON ........Now lets Kill the OP!

Only thing that puts me off is that these come with the usual highly steal able VW sat navs. A couple of break ins and you're out a fortune in replacements or insurance increases/excesses.

Unless anyone knows that VW have done something to reduce the steal-ability of the systems???

There is a standard that they use. They should send you the details well in advance of the end of the lease. The have measurements for the size of the ding and scratch, if under they do not count. The people who do the inspections are the guys who pick up off your drive. You sign their paperwork with their comments and if there is anything later on the car found then it is not your responsibility. I have not had one car since I started leasing have anything to pay on for damage and I have completed 3 in the last 8 years.

Got a quote then applied. Yes, still to sign, but finance approved.

Your probably aware that VW have had some 'minor' issues of late. Maybe you saw it on the news in the six months it was covered almost every day.
I would imagine this has left them with a massive drop in sales and a whole load of cars sat at compounds.
These cars very likely to have been sold at massive discounts to various dealers and lease companies. Its not uncommon to see new cars with discounts of 30 to 40 percent on brokers sites. And that's to general public.
So a 34 grand car retail may well have been bought for near on half that by the place that leases it to you for 3k. At the end of the term the sell a 2 year old 34k car with 10 thousand miles on the clock at a discount of maybe 25 to 30 percent. I think these companies know what they are doing and can certainly make decent profit even at this price.

Has anyone used All Vehicle Contracts before for leasing? They have a TT on there for about £40 less than I can see elsewhere.

I saw a similar deal via VW Crewe, delivered without the admin charge.
Called them this afternoon who confirmed that it was a mistake and that they are not excepting any further orders. The ones that have gone through are being honoured!

The quotes on Whatcar seem to be for 8000 miles upwards no 5000 miles.
Based on the 8000 miles, Whatcar/VW direct prices seem slightly dearer BUT if you take into account no £240 fees(equivelent to £10/month) then they are cheaper, so VW direct I would say

Sometimes the metallic pain options actually reduce the payments. It has on two of my leases. Due to increasing the residual value. Worth asking the question?

is it me or has this gone up in price from last night?

I'm currently at Inchcape Chester and they are honouring the deal and no document fee:) it's a factory order deal but they can also do stock deal if they have any. I've gone for the DSG 190bhp model:)

Its cheap now lol nationalvehiclesolutions.co.uk/Vol…129

Cheers OP. Just driving home in mine now - cracking car. They had a one 190ps DSG in stock which is the one i wanted anyway. Thanks again.

I asked for a quote around lunchtime yesterday, all was confirmed to me. I have put in an application. Very excited. Does anyone know how much extra the paint options are?

You're getting a lot of grief lol, but I'll share it with you because I agree. Can get a golf gti mk5 with 90k miles on it for the same price, and it'll retain some value when you're done with it. I get how much a new car depreciates, but if you choose carefully the age of a used car doesn't matter so much

Tempted to sell my astra estate and get this as by the time I factor in new tyres which are needed, cambelt at next service and cost of mot etc this will be cheaper. Only thing putting me off is I want a 3 year plan and then after 3 years I will be gutted getting a car worse than this for similar money as I cant see a deal as good as this coming around again

Just to confirm I have just had the paperwork through, all signed and sent back. They also required payment of admin fee.

All seems ok :smile:

wonder what happens to all the people caught in the middle.
applied for credit but not heard back yet. The obvious answer is that they cancel but can they run credit checks on your file for no reason now

Amazing that it was all prepped and ready to go too ;-)

Why do you continue to post in this thread? It's looking more and more likely that you will be proved wrong, probably best you stop digging yourself in to a hole. You've made the same pointless comments countless times.

Taken from Whatcar:

Take it in to get the work done. But correct the mileage prior to this.

​no it hasn't, I was being dumb

Come on mate. Take a step back from the keyboard and just re-read what you've typed.

A dealer doesn't buy new £34,000 cars for £17,000. That's just not true.

Also, these have been clearly advertised as factor orders, so your theory goes right out the window.

The 'deal' NVS are now offering for the same model is £538.32 per month inc VAT on a 9+23 plus a £239.99 admin fee, albeit for 10,000miles/yr. That's £17466 over 2 years or about £728/mth averaged - which just shows what a cracking deal that was before it expired. Oh well, maybe next time?

lol Very funny

Awww, bless :smile:

Recovered being the key word there.
Get a list of the top ten cars with trackers fitted and I bet it's very similar.
(actually just found out the dat is provided by Tracker)

Couple of years old but here's the top stolen cars, no surpise it contains the most popular cars in Britain.
honestjohn.co.uk/car…e=0

No navigation mentioned on the what car deals from what I can see? Unless it's standard kit?

Yeah it's going to be real painful to hand this back.

Which brokers are offering up to 40% off a new car?

VW will hire hitmen to bunk them off

VW uk have just emailed all the dealers everyone that has been finance approved can have the deal any one quoted cant!!! Good news for everyone approved.

While u wait for your deal to fall through, I drive around In a sports car for less! idiots lease!

the only reason I waited until this morning was that I thought no one would be around to do anything last night. And people were getting replies back into the early hours!
I will be highly annoyed if I have a credit search added to my file for no reason.

Audi's and Golf GTI's along with 1and 3 series beemers are stolen for fun, you seriously think that something like a C63 is stolen more than a Golf that probably outsells it 10-1? Whoever wrote that list is a moron!

Never mind. Answered my own question. It's std kit. Will call my local vw dealership later and see if they'll match the deal. Thanks OP!!

I was looking for a fun weekend car, wondered why RX8's were so cheap, then read about engine problems and £500 car tax for the small engine.

Quote received and applied for, happy days!

Now £500 per month with a 9 month deposit! lol

£17,000 over the lease duration, at least you get 10,000 miles per year though.

Good luck to those who ordered...

My timeline of what's happened so far:

1) Completed application on NVS website yesterday 8pm
2) Was emailed by NVS 9:35pm to thank me for submitting application and sent to underwriters
3) Emailed by NVS to me the confirmation of the application was approved at 01:14am
4) Emailed confirmation back to NVS to say go ahead with order at 07:17am this morning
5) Heard nothing all day until...
6) 2:28pm received order to sign and return - all pricing correct. 190 DSG £119.99 a month! 3+23

So it is definitely going ahead for the lucky few who got in early enough by the looks.....

I received an email shortly before 5PM, my admin fee is all paid.

I got to say that I'm surprised it's being honoured, it's an insane deal.

And just to make it worse I bet they add into the email something like 'why not take advantage of this special offer to say sorry instead, a Nissan micra for only 50 quid more.
That's if they even bother to get in touch. Not sure they even have the courtesy to do that now.

As a rough guide divide the cost of the option by the term of the lease so I think the metallics start at 545.
£545 over 24 months is approx an extra £22/23 month

Only thing that puts me off is that these come with the usual highly steal able VW sat navs. A couple of break ins and you're out a fortune in replacements or insurance increases/excesses.

Unless anyone knows that VW have done something to reduce the steal-ability of the systems???

Don't get me wrong, I love my RX8 and I'm going to be very sad to see it go. I've been very lucky and had nearly 4 years of trouble free driving with it, it had an engine rebuild shortly before I bought it for £2K. But it's now needing a shed load of cash to be spent for new tyres, brakes, wheels.. the interior is also showing it's age now. I am also quite fed up with driving manual around local roads, its a constant grind.

I take it this Passat has stop start on the engine?

Nope, you're (kind of) wrong. The car is available at silly prices, but the base models aren't. The deals that are available are for the ones sitting in stock at the port and they all have bells & whistles attached. Prices start at around £200 and go up to £290 on a 3+23 deal for 5,000 miles depending on paint and what options are included.

Anyone ordering a factory order through a broker is NOT going to get this deal. Anyone going directly to a VW dealer for a stock car WILL get the deal but they won't get the base models, so be prepared to pay more.

Ho well Aldi still have a deal on fruit !

That all looks nearly identical to me!

after the term do you have the option to keep the car?

Is this a pcp or personal contract hire?

thanks

Those that were lucky enough to get the confirmation. Was is for the grey with no options?

Perhaps more C63 owners fit a tracker to aid recovery than golf owners?

The point I'm getting at is the Alltrack Passat is not going to be in anywhere but the bottom of any league table of stolen cars because there simply aren't many out there.

They're not on buyers or thieves shopping lists. With deals like this, it's only at the top of the rental market hot list

This is the sale of the century. I've ordered one. Anyone wanna buy my 2008 BMW 118d?! 103k

Cracking looking car though the Rx8

A quick look on drive the deal has a host of Audi with over 30% off. I looked at a cit c3 on there a couple of months back at well over 40% off for the other end of the scale.

I dealt with a nice lady called Emma. Crewe dealer is also offering same sea as they were speaking to each other over the phone to confirm as they received a "bulletin" from HQ about Alltacks.

I went straight to the dealer and am paying a bit more, but glad I did now if it's looking more positive. I'm paying £360 deposit and then 23 * £136 with no admin fee. Works out about £6 a month more, but they are giving me a tank of diesel as well.

I found a similar deal with parkway Volkswagen for the same car. Is it any good?

6+23 10k Miles p/a
Initial Payment: £886.02
£147.67 Per Month, INC VAT
Additional Fees: None

I added on automatic parking.

Tracker released the data as it's a list of recovered vehicles, I would imagine using their tracking devices.
The link I posted above has the actual cars stolen, recovered or not.

Mileage is a bit low otherwise a good deal

It is stunning :smile:

Just been down to my VW dealer too who looked it up on the system. Concurs with what you said. Whichever way you look at it, nobody will be getting an AllTrack for <£120 month unfortunately.

Dream on sunshine your name is on the hitman list just seen it !

Mines is confirmed. My finance application was done over the phone there and then and confirmation within seconds. Bad news was that they ran out of the stock model quite quickly (the main deal on here @ £140) so I had to order a slightly higher spec @ £220 which is brilliant for a automatic, diesel (panoramic roof, midnight blue colour, tower, heated windscreens etc)

I then got a follow-up phone call saying that the deal has now ended and they won't be honouring any new orders but mines has gone through successfully.

or maybe it was the same one you saw lots of times! hence you are now a ex vw aftersales manager.

Strange, I accepted at 10:10am but didn't get the deal :-(
win some, lose some

I'm probably going to go for this. What about gap insurance? Presume that this will be needed? Any recommendations?

Is this you? youtube.com/wat…a9c

Excellent! When did you request the quote?
I'm still waiting.

Not a leasing fan but this is a mega deal.

Is the car in-stock or will this be a factory order? Have you heard from NVS about this?

Just paid my admin fee and returned the order form. This is happening!

Are you all going for the 5000 miles with a view to just paying for the excess?

I went for the deal at lightcliffe VW that doesn't have the fees. Waiting for the quote now.

Car dealers. The go to people if you want honesty and solid info.

That's disappointing news... I did a test drive and have the signed quotation in hand from VW dealership but I guess they'll just call me soon and say the deal can no longer be honoured...

what about those who have filed applications for finance stuck at the underwriters?
Surely they will still be sent back approved? They cant credit check you and then not aprove on the basis of the deal being pulled.
A black mark on my credit file because they didnt have any stock.

I got my deal from them but they don't have the one you have quoted. I took a deal off them from £220, this is the cheapest model they had available. They then phoned me later to say no new deals were being honoured but mines has gone through perfectly fine.

Apparently, they've been on the phone like crazy today and it's been the busiest time ever.

This really annoys me on car lease deals. The car will. without a shadow of doubt, have a better resale value due to the metallic paint option. Not the full whack, admittedly, but if dealers/brokers would just accept this and go 50/50 on (desirable) optional extras, it would feel less of a rip off.

How soon do NVS or VW get back to you? I completed forms on both sites last night but I have not had anything back yet some people are saying they have applied and the order had been accepted?

If its been pulled why is it still up on the website??

Are you a bit special?

My VW dealer has provided me with paperwork at £158 x 23+3.
Looks like some of these are going thru (maybe...)

This is brilliant well worth you paying the broker fee, than last night thinking I will try and get one over the and save a bit of money and try and shop it around. Really pleased for you 2 of my friends did the same and they got the deal too. Just ashame I wasn't coming to the end of my lease!!

Great price for 2 years motoring

Has anyone rang the vw dealers? Want to jump on this if its real.

I genuinely hope the VW dealership were wrong/lying. I'd love to see someone get one delivered for this price. Would be the lease of the century.

Anyone called up to ask what's happening and get a response?

Taken from the vehicle order for I was sent:
Expected Delivery Date: Factory order 12 weeks

Extra information shown on their scrollbar on the homepage:

"Important - All approvals in the system for the VW Passat Alltrack offer WILL be honoured where a valid finance approval is in place. This means that if we've confirmed your acceptance, we can order at the rate agreed.  We are working through a large backlog of order forms, please rest assured that these will be with you ASAP."

While you're on your walk, perhaps consider using the time to figure out the entire deal rather than a single aspect. If you're in the market for this type of car, it's a no brainer, even for higher mileage users.

Just spoke to nationwide and passat offer was an error, they won't be honouring it

I'm awaiting a call back on if the factory order is possible at this price.

who did you deal with, I'm going to pop in there...

Check deal on Central UK car leasing

Don't worry pal I did exactly the same as you - hopefully will be something else pretty soon.....

great deal.. not for me due to mileage and car itself but cracking deal if you like these

Just spoke to nationwide and passat offer was an error, they won't be honouring it

So I am right.

The advertised deal is not available for a factory order 4motion Passat Alltrack! Did you enquire about a factory order one? That will be £400 per month all in.

Either way, the deal's not available at the price stated.

Sorry Pete, contacted VW Crewe and they quoted about 20 mins later, sent across my details and I've just received the order form which has been signed and returned.

link?

​no just a £35000 car. duh

Yup

Also got the prices through for changing the colour.

Pure White would be an additional £10/mth
Metallic/Pearl an additional £20.96/mth
Special Crimson Red an additional £23.65/mth
Habanero Orange/Oryx White and additional £37.31/mth

Not sure it's worth it to be honest, wouldn't be keen on having it in white. Would prefer black or blue.

Could you share a contact name at VW Chester?

Nobody will get this 'deal', can't believe anyone believed they would..hope nobody has ordered any accessories off eBay for theirs :smile:

Also, this is great;
youtube.com/wat…MRs

I managed to get one through Lightcliffe Volkswagon - went for the 190 DSG 4Motion, 8,000 PA but in Metallic Grey. Cost was £169 per month for 24 months (with £500 up front) (was £146 without the paint option).

Order form all through and signed.

samesys

I just wonder how they do it. As you say I know which car id prefer to drive.

The deal for the 190 DSG box is much better then the manual 150.

Iv seen a few things that VW have confirmed that both deals are errors. But some people saying that VW will honour approved processed applications

Recently bought a new c max. Went to two ford dealers.
1st one. I said apparently the 1 litre ecoboost is the engine to go for now over the bigger diesels. Reply was yes your spot on now, they perform equally as well now.
2nd one. I said apparently the the bigger diesels are still the ones to go for over the small ecoboost engines. Reply was, yes absolutely right.
Agree with the customer and they are more likely to buy.

gutted. didn't apply in time

my 23+3 @ £158pm for DSG with 8k miles - seems to be less good than you guys but still pleased.
Anyone know how private reg's work with a leasecar

When you say "paperwork" are these posted to you or via email? I signed the quotation at the dealership 11am today and I've not heard back, so I'm guessing I'm still in the midst of finance approval and not even paid for the deposit so I guess mine isn't going thru??

Who is everyone insuring with? Do the main insurance companies offer gap insurance? Or do I need to get that elsewhere?

Deal has been pulled, best of luck to those who managed to get an order in

deals dead, response below

Hi

We have had the offer withdrawn from Volkswagen Uk so we can no longer order the cars in afraid.

Thanks

oO

Or maybe one sales guy (they are human beings after all) had a personal preference for the lower noise levels and much faster heater system warming that a petrol offers, and the other guy preferred the torque of a diesel?

I got an email at 830am this morning to say that my application has been approved.

I sent an email shortly after to confirm that I still wish to go ahead with the order.

Heard nothing for 7 hours. I sent another email about an hour ago asking if it is still possible to process my order. I just got a reply stating that the deal will still be honoured and the delay is simply due to lack of man power with processing orders.

It would seem that if you were quick enough to get in and also got a green light for the initial finance application; you are still in the game.

That's the 2nd lease deal I've missed, going to have to be quicker when the next one comes up. I guess I hesitated as I have never fancied a VW let alone a Passat. Still for £3k over 2 years it was tempting.

Wow, amazing deal, don't need a new car but damn tempting

looks like this one has gone. shame

Anyway. Back on topic.
Has anyone actually been told they they cannot have the car or it was an error and the application has been binned?
Guess the above answers my question :-)
But still begs the question, why have the people who actually applied not been given that info yet when a quick question was answered so easily.

Mine has been ordered. 8000 miles, 190ps, DSG for £140pm.
Delivery in June

It's still an amazing deal - it costs more to get a polo than this car.

So is it fair to assume that those confirmed will be contacted but everyone else hanging in the system they couldn't care less about to inform them?

Has anyone actually had a quote through yet?

Just had quote through from VW which says £130/month and £390 deposit for the manual in grey, total £3380 :disappointed:
(though I did ask for the DSG)

That's me got the finance agreed and order submitted, accepted and order number obtained. Cracking deal!

Nice! When did you get approved for finance and when did your forms come through?

Just talked to the guy from Lightcliffe and he says that they have been told by VW that all their orders will be honoured. He said when they came into work this morning they had over a 100 emails waiting for them on this car alone.

similar position to me. I applied for full finance sent to the underwriters and have heard nothing since. who knows if it was approved or binned. Nice of them to let us know.

You can't use them in any other car, so would be pointless.

I have not spoken to nvs this morning as struggling to get through but did apply very early last night and got credit confirmation saying if I wanted to proceed they would draw up paperwork to sign.

Anybody else in the same position who has had confirmation it is legit?

Cheers

What does it say when you enter the order number on VW's website?

I think 'maximum order number now reached' is code for 'someone messed up and by putting it like that we hope to get away with disguising it as genuine but now over, hence not tarnishing our reputation'

And 'we will email customers shortly' is code for 'We are just knocking up a cancellation email but need to get it checked off by the right departments first to make sure there is no implication of liability for the hundreds of useless credit check marks and all the details obtained and owned that can now be sold on'

"Important - All approvals in the system for the VW Passat Alltrack offer WILL be honoured where a valid finance approval is in place. This means that if we've confirmed your acceptance, we can order at the rate agreed.We are working through a large backlog of order forms, please rest assured that these will be with you ASAP"

I should have paid the saleswoman £50 and got her to process my order pronto but I was convinced VW were desperate to shift these after the diesel gate saga so I didn't press for her to process it immediately. I personally wouldn't pay £35k for a Passat but £3k/2 years was too good to be true.

not a fan of leasing to old school I know don't shoot me for it, but looking at this deal can see why at this price you couldn't get a loan for a new car for this. would just have to persuade myself to go for it, now that's the difficult bit. excellent deal.

Still pretty good

This is rediculously cheap, and the website is still up.... if I didnt have 10mths left on a PCP I would be snapping this up.

9.30 this morning

Cheers Keith.

Happy Days :smile:

My brother had a call from Crewe earlier to say that the deal had been pulled & despite his order confirmation it won't be going ahead. Best of luck to those who got on it yesterday

My 3 year old Alhambra has SCR/Ad Blue and is subject to the recall. I have a letter from my dealer.

It's still on the site...

I'm assuming he just put in an application just now - maybe past applications are being honoured?

It's not just being approved you will have needed to have placed the order with the broker, then they order with the dealer, then the dealer have ordered with the factory. So will keep my fingers crossed for everyone who was approved and ordered with the broker.

Deal of the year so far! Happy days...was confirmed/cleared.....dsg here I come:

So from those who "got" the deal... what time did you/they all "apply"? I sent a request at 7am to NVS this morning and have since heard not a thing at all.

Your new car would depreciate more than what this would cost for the 2 years, to me that's the whole point of leasing.

All prices have gone up on the whatcar/VW lease deal link so it probably was an error

2 dealerships have offered me the DSG at £158inc VAT (23+3) for 8k miles/yr
Total cost = £4129

Would be £3809 with NVS inc extra miles.

Went direct to dealer, fingers crossed!

Deal of the year so far! Happy days...was confirmed/cleared.....dsg here I come:

Ezzer - no you haven't. That is a blatant exaggeration at best or a lie.

Just a quick thumbs up to Nationwide. My other half has a car through them and they've been great to deal with. Most concerns over having a lease car are unfounded. The strangest one is not owning the car. Who cares if it's not yours if the TCO works out?

Not in my experience, having had several quotes for Mercedes C63, Audi RS4 and BMW M3 before buying my M3 - none of the insurers mandated a tracker to cover me (mid 30s male with long no claims, clean license and living in London).

The premium reduction for having one would not pay for the tracker over 3 years (circa £500 per annum fully comp without tracker vs circa £490 per annum fully comp with tracker). It didn't reduce my £200 excess either.

The above will obviously vary from person to person and area to area. Saying that, I did considered fitting a tracker to protect the M3, given I'd spent a large amount of money buying it but this was for personal peace of mind rather than having to fit one to get insurance.

If you used Range Rover as your example, then you would be more correct due to the ease at which they can be stolen relative to other similarly priced vehicles.

Or do what I did and buy 3 classics and lease a car!!!!

Or maybe 'maximum order number now reached' is code for we had 500 and thanks to HUKD we have had 5,000 enquiries. Sometimes the description for a potato is actually describing a potato.

Managed to take a standard Passat out this afternoon for a test drive with my local dealer - was only a 150bhp but did have DSG. The inside of these cars are huge! I'm 6'4" and even with the drivers seat in the position I like (far back), when I sat in the back seat my knees didn't touch the back of the drivers seat. And the boot was cavernous - and that just the saloon! DSG was nice and the overall drive was relaxing. Not the most exciting car but the value for money was too great to pass up for me. Was about to spend £19k on a 3 year old 3-series touring - glad I held off!

For the orders they have. Yes they will.

I do about 5000 miles a day :disappointed:

Can't believe my luck sometimes. Went for the Astra deal from the other week. But this would've been ideal, needed a bigger car really.
This deal is still on their site?

You need those dealerships to go back to head office now and check on the current campaign then as those cars cannot be delivered by the 31st March, which is a condition to get those prices. It's a red herring. There are only high spec stock cars available at £200+ per month.

I hope nobody is excited about getting this, because you are going to be very upset when you find out it isn't happening, so do yourself a favour and forget about this 'glitch' now, that's all it is.

I know these things aren't 100% accurate, but What Car reckon a similar car to this is worth £14,000 after 24 months;

whatcar.com/car…714

Who do you think is swallowing the other £15,000 or so??

Currently sat in a dealer who is doing the finance bit on a saved quote he has.
Waiting to see what happens.

Last night at around 11PM. I think they were so swamped that during the morning they were dealing with all the orders from over the night.

I'm in the same position. Waiting for paperwork to come in.

NVS website ticker - VW Passat Alltrack offer reached maximum levels, we'll be in touch with customers shoprtly (their typo :))

Or maybe sales training tells them that agreeing with the customer will increase the chance they will buy a car.
I was also told that i would have to pay lots more for the equivalent car with ecoboost engine at the place where i was looking at the diesel. And surprise surprise i was told that i would pay a premium to have the diesel at the dealers with the ecoboost in stock.
Maybe the opinion of the dealers is the one that see's you handing over the cash.

Got mine approved, just paid the badmin fee

I applied for the finance at 7.58pm last night, received confirmation of finance at 9.06pm last night.

I then received an email at 10.08 this morning with paperwork which I completed and scanned back straight away and paid the admin fee.

Hope that helps with timescales.

Xx

At least two big leasing brokers have pulled this deal this morning already. Not sure what's going on...

If its been pulled why is it still up on the website??

gone now!

Have they confirmed that you will get the car as described? Would they still do it if I could place order now or is this finishes do you think?

Seriously??

Got a quote at 6PM yesterday, added some options and requoted at 10PM. Finance was approved and I gave the OK at 2AM. Forms came through and deposit paid at 8PM.

I daresay that the theft rate is done as a proportion of sales.

Just spoke to them. Our paperwork is still coming. Just working through the backlog.

Hi I was told by my local dealer that the recent Audi deal was a load of rubbish - the fact was they couldnt do it - but Oxford Audi could and have!

According to your wife mate yes xx

Gutted. In the time dicking about trying to get a relative at local vw dealer to match the deal slipped away. Was up at 3 am looking at the deal and could've applied then.

Don't give up if you have been quoted on email. I Got quote this morning from Crewe vw but not credit check until after deal expired around 3pm - got order confirmation for late May early June delivery. Many thanks to op - best lease deal with good spec for a long time.

exactly, that's why I was saying its an excellent deal :smile: you couldn't get finance for this and the depreciation will be much more than this. makes total sense even if you are looking to buy a second hand newer one this cant be beaten.

Thanks Keithoms!

Made my day :smile:

Too late.

Good luck to everyone who managed to get an order in.

Wow you sure know how to embarrass yourself.

My deposit has been paid and I passed the finance, the dealer doesn't see why it won't be honored but I 'm expecting it to be cancelled. I don't really mind how long it takes to reach me either.

Unfortunately though there is a rather huge reliability penalty.

Thanks folks. I knew I should have done the form before going to bed last night. My GOLF R Lease ends in 4 months so this was perfect (I fluked the epic lease 2 years ago lol) - so good luck to all those who got it :smile:

I'd love to know how many actually got the deal, considering NVS and CVL pulled the delay synchronously. Could be click bait

May seem like a silly question but how do i apply to get one?
is it get a quote first or do you fill in the personal finance section?
wasnt sure if the latter was just a generic application to be accepted for finance.

We have just been informed by Volkswagen Financial Services that the VW Passat Alltrack deal was an error and has now been withdrawn.

Unless you have a finance application approved on the exact car and offer they will not honour any quotes.

+1 I have confirmation that finance has approved from NVS but nothing else. All I'm going to do is to wait and see what happens. if I get it great, if well you had to be in it to win it...

Ezzer72 - I gather you have been driving DSG's for years and had nothing but problems from your comments??

Ive been driving a DSG for a few years and no issues whatsoever. I was told all the scare stories beforehand and glad I didn't listen - the driving is effortless :smile:

I too got a quote back this morning from VW Crewe. Replied saying I would like to accept the quote and received an email half an hour later saying finance had pulled the deal, that was around 10:30am today.
He said he would let me know if anything changes but heard nothing :-(
When did you accept your quote?

What makes you think they've pulled it? It's still on the site.

You can get a quote if what you want doesn't match what's on the page (different add ons, mileage etc). If it's what's advertised that you want, just fill in the application. It will ask you what model you are enquiring about.

Just spoke with my local Volkswagen Dealer (Sinclair Swansea) & VW pulled the deal 20mins ago.

They are not able to run any quotes on any Alltrack models as it's been taken off their system.

She also let slip that after a stock check this would have been a factory order.

Well that now makes sense, and you was sold the car that they wanted to sell you (haha) but that isn't the point you made earlier.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration; I am certainly aware of this issue, but on a 2-year lease deal I wouldn't be worrying about it as it's under warranty.
If you were going to buy and keep a long time I would think twice about having one without a warranty, and to be fair that was one factor (among others) that put me off another VW, although plenty of people seem to get along fine with it.
Bear in mind torque converter autos do still suffer failures, so whatever you go for there will be an element of chance.

Around 11 am accepted but my printer broke! Great timing - so took me another hour to sign and scan back. Agent had saved quotes of all he had spoken too this morning and mine was one of them.

Cars were put on the system by VW at way too high a residual value which knocked the lease prices down too far and why this was pulled early today.

It's still on NVS. nationalvehiclesolutions.co.uk/Vol…130

Lol. Do you guys seriously think that VW were offering a lease deal for a £34,000 car with only £3,000 to pay over 2 years?! Get real people.

This is an administrative error where wrong prices have been uploaded on to to the Volkswagen finance system, hence several brokers and dealers are advertising this price.

This car should be £400 per month all in, not £100! Has common sense gone out of the window?

Enjoy the spam newsletters, an unnecessary credit check and be wary that you've given personal and bank account details to a third party.

And simon now recommends a golf gtd lol

I haven't made any points earlier... I ordered a bog standard 190ps DSG Passat. I think you have mixed me up with someone else.

Being a VW it will definitely stop, can't promise it will start again every time.

I didn't even get any sort of reply or recognition from NVS - just the screen saying my application can take up to 24hrs to be processed. Seems the way to do these is via a VW dealer once the price is known I take it?

Order placed.

I got vw Tiguan for £108 inc vat. Explain that!

Lee Nelson probably hacked into their website last night.

£728 per month for a Passat? That's a bit of a joke. I think it's to deter applications.

I have a 430d Gran Coupe on order and it's costing me £415 per month. No comparison between the cars in my opinion.

I'm an ex-VW Aftersales Manager, and have experienced literally thousands of faulty ones.

I filled in aplication this morning. I haven't received anything yet. Should I assume that I wasn't lucky?

From same company. Can't fault them

Time to expire unfortunately.
Got this from a VW Dealer
I have just tried to run the quote for you but VWFS have told me they have removed the Passat Alltrack from the system as they were having issues with it.

I went through the dealer as well - sent off finance form accepted then sent off the vehicle order form at 11am but haven't heard back? Anyone moved on to a next stage after this?

Ezzer72, you really need to step away from this thread chap. There are those who are perfectly happy with VW and wish to discuss the ongoing order process on here, thanks. Can you take your relentless disdain for VW and those of us lucky enough to get this deal elsewhere please?

I'm guessing we'll get a letter officially apologising for the error and missing the deal.

Did mine over the phone with sales. Got immediate confirmation but I'm getting one of the stock ones already in the country so maybe the process is different?

Got to take your hat off to those that jumped on this and got the deal. It's no small decision to purchase a car and in the blink of an eye some people pressed the button up on it.

I messed around and have now missed it. And the wife has said why didn't you just do it!! And the answer is - I don't know as it was such a deal.

My only defence is I did buy a leaf off here in the matter of days last year. Next time I will be all over it, but my word I think this is the best deal I have seen on here - bar none.

Well done to whoever spotted it and took advantage. I'd love to see a photo when you get it.

Couldn't get through to NVS so started ringing the vw groups on the thread - the agent said they had done 90 quotes by 915 today and said be quick if I wanted one.

What do I have to do to get these daily emails sooner? 18 hours ago!?! The reason I never comment or add Heat is that I get my email about 8 days after you lot and the offer is as old as Methuselah..
And yes, I did.

Back from the dealer.
Finance approved and order placed for the 190 DSG on 5k miles
£722.02 + 23 x £120.34
Not quite as good as some but no admin fee so not too bad.
No guarantee it will come through, will be getting an update on Monday.

Well, in 2yrs time there will be a lot of these on the market and maybe prices will drop :wink:

That's interesting - did you have something in the pipeline already with them or did you start from scratch when you went this evening?

Mate of mine jumped on this after I sent him the link at 8.30 this morning. Did it all via phone and got the finance approval. Still got to return the signed acceptance form - does this mean he's in the 'likely' to be honoured pile?

As an aside of my first hand knowledge and experience of how bad VW Group cars are, does anyone seriously actually think they are getting a £34000 car for £120 per month? I'm astonished.

I have my finance approved at 00:30, that seems to have reserved my order. confirmed I want to proceed around 17:30 and just had my order form come through now

Found this last night about midnight. Decided insults ring at 9:00am no answer finally got to speak to someone around 10 who advised
Me to apply for finance on it but still not heard anything back. Guess I was too late

Yes just send the form in - they should honour it as I think their finance approval is their contract of sale.

Thanks - great!

I wonder how soon it will be before build dates slip past 12 weeks

I knew this would go soon. Shame that I couldn't commit until next week. :disappointed:

Who is going to be looking at all the VW alltracks coming on to the used market in 2 years time? :wink:

A 'sports car' you say, for less than £4,000 ! It must be a-ma-zing
What is this word of opulence you live in, we can only dream of such things.

You sound so cool. We're all swooning.
No, really :stuck_out_tongue:

My dealer just told me she's got my VWFS approved finance docs through (for a stock car) and is about to send them over to me.

How stupid of VW to keep processing all these orders they're not going to fulfil, eh Ezzer72? ;-)

I'm guessing today will be make or break for a lot of us. Good luck everybody.

That is exactly what i mean. A few million loss here, is nothing compared to the multi-billion euro loss on the defeat scandal. If I were VW, i`d want to keep my head down at the moment. And a few million, realistically, drop in the marketing budget ocean. Dealers have to cough up a million or two just to build a VW spec dealership, and then buy VW xmas tress (they have a p/n too). I`m sure VW can cope with this. They`d pay a few million just to keep out of the headlines for a month or two, i`m sure.
And no, I didn`t order one, even though i would`ve been in time to. Was tempted for a minute....

There's several hundred abused Golf R's due in a few months. I pity the new owners.

Aaaah, so you're not getting the £100 a month deal then??

£4387 was the total for mine - and that was for the 190ps DSG version, 8,000 miles and Matallic paint. Without the paint the total cost would have been £3,789. The 150ps and 5000 mile ones would have been less again.

Idiot's think a modded Xr3i is a sports car.

Only in Dudley.

Should've spent your Giro on an MX5.
This one looks good and has a silly exhaust fitted.

I got one at £220 yesterday but is a slightly higher spec than the stock model posted. They were sold out of the stock models when I called around 10am yesterday but was prepared to pay higher for a better model at this bargain price.

Or you knock the VAT off, take out the profit and realise you'll lose less than 5 grand a car which is a pittance for the couple of hundred or so which have slipped out so you honour the deal

Yep because I was expecting the order to be changeable. All I wanted was a different colour and park assist but I didn't know what harvard blue looked like on Tuesday night and wouldn't take the risk (annoyingly its far nicer in real life than the photos show).

I can and will live without those items but I think come July 2018 VW are not going to like the number of grey base spec alltracks they have to sell considering that autotrader currently has a total of 15 alltracks for sale that are not ex-demo...

Also worth mentioning the total cost of my lease is only £280 more than the cost of swapping manual to automatic and less than 10% of the retail price of the car... To call this a bargain is probably an understatement...

That's still a good deal at £220, if you like the car, my point all along has been nobody is going to be getting the c. £3000 deal, your payments are obviously going to be nearer £6,000.

My wife's best friend got the deal this morning.

Flippin.... These drop 50% in value in 2 yrs (on autotrader). VW is well over 10k in red on every single Alltrack sold on this deal.

You're making a pointless (and hopelessly backtracking) argument. What point is there in referring to the £100 p/m deal without mentioning the up front payments? I was quoted £135 p/m on a 3+23 yesterday, which is £3510. Had I been prepared to wait 12 weeks I could have ordered one there and then and it would have been approved, as are the others that got through before the deal was pulled.

I chose to get one quicker and picked a stock one at 197p/m, which was STILL based on the same £135p/m deal with costs for the already-built-in extras. I'm rather happy with the deal I'm getting for a £35K car, thanks.

Meanwhile you're floundering around like a bitter flatfish out of water and sounding more and more ridiculous with each passing moment with your claims that no-one will get the deal. You're obviously wrong, give up already!

I used Chester's Inchcape and they've said to me categorically that my order is fine but I've still not received any paperwork yet.
FYI here's a unregistered Alltrack with better spec on sale at £28k so £35 is waaaay overpriced!

Exactly which is why I can't understand why they have honored any of these orders.

personal finance put through at NVS within the hour of seeing this thread on Tues night

Finance approved next morning at 10am, then tried to change the colour but to no avail as vw pulled the plug so no ammendments could be made (this was at around 11.30am the following day i think).

When i consider only 120 pounds a month for a 35k DSG MODEL, who cares if its dull grey! I cant thank the OP enough for taking the time with this 'enlightment'!.

Never done a PCH before but this is exciting at this price. Hope something better comes out for the folk who missed out, the rule as always with these flash deals is that there is no time to procastinate.

Does anyone have a picture of the car in urano grey? Googled endlessly but only found it in pure white, that funky orange and blue.

Anyone found any viable alternatives to this deal?

It was only this morning that I convinced myself to switch to a lease car and I've now left it too late. I need a car with the capacity of an estate but the only deal I can find on here ish for a Gashkai! Looking for a 24 month deal (or less), up to £.51k upfront and up to £175 per month on about £8000 miles.

Your previous post that I 'quoted' above states that the offers only apply to stock vehicles, so your story is changing.

IF you have got a deal at £197 per month, that's a 30%+ uplift on the advertised deal, and I'm guessing the extras aren't £10-11,000 worth..?

I'm still confident that none are going to actually materialise anyway, but thought I'd spend a few moments humouring you.

I decided to pay extra to get the Metallic grey option, which looks great.

Here are a couple urano grey passats - followed by 2 metallic ones:





and here are the Metallic ones:

Mine is now showing up on volkswagen.co.uk/own…der
Looking good.

The deal was supposed to be for stock vehicles only (or at least those that could be delivered by 31st March) but due to the cock-up and misunderstanding, it ended up being honoured for factory orders too.

As for your "mathematics" in working out the value of the extras... That's a bit "special", I'm afraid. I shall entertain your nonsense no longer. Where's the "block" button...?

It's actually not as hideous as I was imagining.

They'll have been serviced by VW and it's pretty hard to abuse a performance car, the clutch may suffer but apart from that the engine has a rev limiter for a reason. Interior and body abuse are easy to see so you just avoid those.

You're worse off buying a 190bhp diesel that's only done 5k a year. The DPF (Diesel particulate filter) only self regenerates on decent long journeys, drive it 5miles a day and you're looking at replacing it at a hefty cost of £1000 - £3000. Don't buy a diesel if you only fanny about on school and shopping runs, and don't buy a diesel which has only done that...

Got my order tracking number through this morning as well and to repeat, confirmation from the main dealer that VW are honouring the orders that went it prior to the deal being pulled. 12-14 week factor order wait for me - 190ps 4motion DSG with Metallic grey paint. For those doubting still - here is the screengrab from the VW order system.

Well thats not it....

Yes, you could say, it's too good to be true... :wink:

Where from as still interested?

I thought the first 2 are the solid grey (colour wise) - none of them are of the Alltrack body shape.

Had an email from my VW dealer this morning that I placed the order with saying:

"We had confirmation from vw yesterday that customers who placed an order and had it accepted would have the price honoured."

Yes, I can just imagine the conversation;

"Boss, I've made a typo and entered the Alltrack's RV at £29000 instead of £14000"

"Don't worry, we'll just get on to the factory and ask them to build a load of cars from scratch that we are going to blow £15,000+ each on. These things happen, we don't want to have to just simply apologise to customers that we made an error, that would be unforgivable".

I ordered this £100 lawn mower from B & Q a few months back;
hotukdeals.com/dea…846

And then got the email saying 'sorry, we have refunded your payment, it was an error' etc.

I was offered 10% off my next purchase as an apology.

Stop dreaming, it's not happening.

It's a different model, but same paint option (urano grey)

As is this one:

We got the Octavia Scout for £4k over 2 years, 8 months in, they've dropped by 8k..

VW Dealership but they are no longer giving the same vehicle or related ones at the offer price due to the recall.

Glad it seems to be working out for some people. Good luck!

Wish I had seen this on Tuesday.....

good luck with the order, VW lightcliffe are pretty good.

Tiguan in urano grey

See if someone can dig up an ALLTRACK in it, yes the met grey is stunning and worth the upgrade.

8 months ago, 'dieselgate' hadn't happened so the people calculating the residual values at that time were unaware that this impact was coming.

A couple of days ago someone has made an error with the RV's on these Alltracks, probably put in the system that they are going to be worth £28500 instead of £14500 or similar, and the finance systems have then generated the ultra low rentals.

Nobody is going to get one, sorry to have to say (again).

If it was a case of VW had a yard full of unsold ones (though this doesn't seem to be the case, as there is a lot of talk of 12 week build/delivery) times, they might have reduced the price from £450 per month to say, £320, they would have flown out at that - there was no reason at all to reduce them to £100ish.

Thanks - never know - might still get pulled, I'll feel better in a week's time!

Nice to see you back on the thread OP!

Did you order one?

Cannot thank you enough :smile:

Why are you persisting in being such a negative curmudgeon in this thread? You sound like you're desperate for everyone to get their orders cancelled. What emotional investment do you have in this? You've been repeatedly told that dozens of people got stock deals that are being honoured and will be delivered at the end of next week or early the week after.

VW also took the view to honour some of those that were early enough via the online brokers and some dealers that made factory orders. They have also been told the deals are being honoured. Yet you persist in your attempts to derail the thread in the desperate hope that you can smugly say, "told you so" in the near future. I will take great delight in posting a picture of me with my new car when it arrives in a week or so, just to p*ss you off.

I've reported your recent posts and I'd encourage others to do so too in the hope you get kicked off this thread.

It's really not the same though - and the main difference is the dealer network. The manufacturer has a real problem as its dealer network has operated in good faith (advertising and spending time/money in securing sales). Even if the manufacturer cancelled the orders, it's the dealer network that has to inform customers and deal with the fallout plus the dealers would need compensated anyway, as they would not be getting the commission for selling the deals in the first place. Doesn't then surprise me that VW has taken this one on the chin. Now, they may well decide to cancel and compensate the dealers for lost commission and customer goodwill, but I don't think that will happen.

It's nice but I'm not sure it is worth the extra £503 over the two years, it's a shame.. a hell of a lot of money just for a different colour.

I submitted an application online around 0900 yesterday. Had no reply / auto reply email at all. Called this morning & told the offer was pulled at midday yesterday & they didn't have time to process my application as they were inundated with applications. Oh well.

Some massive troll feeding going on. I can't resist anymore...

ezzer72 - These aren't £34k motors. The list price has no relation to the price that leasing companies can get on bulk orders. This is how myself and loads of others on HotUKDeals managed to order a £28k Audi A4 for around £150 a month a few weeks ago.

Yes, this was a pricing error but all indications are that VW are going to honor it. They will lose some money but it won't be £15k per car as the bulk price of these is likely to be under £25k since the regular 2 year lease cost of an Alltrack is around £9k.

I see your point and the met option would have added a further 20 or so pounds / month, but with the deal so cheap and a fabulous looking high end passat, the urge to coat it in something a little special for a small increase was too much to resist, NVS knocked me back in order ammendment otherwise i really wanted met paint too. Still pleased that the whole thing didnt fall flat on its face so thy must be grateful.

That's a bold statement, as all signs point that you are wrong. There is written confirmation that states that orders which were finance approved before the deal was pulled will be honoured.

Some are already receiving their tracking order number from VW. If it was not going to happen, then the order request wouldn't have made it to the manufacturer.

This is a similar timeline to mine, apart from the test drive and I accepted the deal earlier but the salesman I dealt with at VW Crewe has advised that if the finance wasn't submitted and approved then the deal will not be honoured. He did go on to day that VW will allow the proposal to be resubmitted when the 'new' rates are available and I can accept or decline the new figures?
Which dealership did you use?

£20 a month extra for the nice paint was worth it for me - but the solid grey is better than I expected it to be - so anyone who has gone for that option should be happy enough.

I was told that these were cars from a massive cancelled order by one of the hire companies, so they needed to be shifted fast.

I've got my confirmation and order ref for tracking. 190dsg model for a very good price. dealer has confirmed. Thanks OP for a stunning deal.

Be careful. You might quickly run out of 5k miles :smile:

Or you could say that VW are honouring legally binding contracts they entered into....

Is the 190 dsg 4motion model same as the 190 dsg 4motion scr bmt model or two different cars? On my order approval from nvs which i have signed it states the former.. Hope iv not messed up, 119.99/month im paying grey with no extras or ammendments with 5k miles (3+23). Thanks

I clicked this to proceed with the car
nationalvehiclesolutions.co.uk/Vol…130

Or break down along the way - and make sure you have plenty of AdBlue.

Carled, contrary to what you think, I would actually be very happy for anyone that ended up getting one - this site is all about getting great deals, and it's always nice to hear the good news stories.

Admittedly, sometimes 'human nature' kicks in, and I can get a little jealous that others nabbed something that I didn't, but in this case that really isn't true - I don't rate VW cars (as you may have noticed) and I get a fantastic 'free' car as part of my employment package, so can say from the bottom of my heart that there is no envy at play here.

The primary reason I persist with offering people a reality check on this matter is I honestly don't think anyone should be building their hopes up, because the pain of the disappointment later isn't pleasant.

I think it's the same car - BMT is Blue Motion Technology and SCR is AdBlue: Selective Catalytic Reduction.

Have none of you got access to Google?

Oh dear, I went and liked it by accident.

Thanks mate, saw your vw tracker pic and noticed the bmt and scr there.. Just checking :smile:

Got 12 months to go on my current lease unfortunately. But so glad its been honoured for some.

That sounds entirely implausible. Why would a hire company want a fleet of Alltracks of all things? VW directly said it was caused by an erroneous residual value being entered on the system.

I had to check myself, as I didn't know what they meant either!

Ezzer seen that pic already via the vw model builder, want to see a proper photo of it on the road.

Dream on, dreamer :smile:
telegraph.co.uk/fin…tml

I wonder how many of these Vw would have sold without this website? I doubt that many people woke up 2 days ago with a burning urge to but a Passat estate 4x4.

Don't get me wrong here, it's great how many people have jumped on this. I just find it quite interesting.

Just out of interest and for next time. Let's say this deal or another deal appears and I go for it. Is there an opportunity to cancel it without being penalised?

Sorry Zayd, I actually just did a Google image search for 'alltrack urano' and that was the first result, didn't realise it was off VW configurator.

Freudian slip.

I think the total package cost of the '28k' Audi was over £5000 wasn't it? This '35k' car therefore is too cheap at c. £3000.

And as was pointed out in the Audi thread, those 1.4 A4's were not really going to sell otherwise, this Alltrack has a lot more going for it.

Maybe this then, don't think it's an AllTrack though;

Not being awkward here but that isn't all the relevant legislation there.... It's a complex mess once the consumer credit act is involved alongside standard contract law and there is probably a reason why VW are stating that if its reached point x - you can have it....

Let's be blunt I'm surprised I'm still in the game (and slightly annoyed that I didn't spec a colour and options when I placed my initial order). However if it comes off I'll be happy, if not I'm not concerned...

Fair question. I didn't even know this car existed until I saw it via this deal. My current lease ends in October so not too much of an overlap if it comes in June.

It's a perfect family car though, exactly the kind of thing I would have replaced my current lease with (ok maybe a sporty edition, I was hoping for a Skoda Octavia VRS estate or something along those lines ideally!).

Sorry for noob lease questions;

- if I needed to replace the tyres do I need to get the exact same one?

- how mandatory is it to have the car serviced at a dealership rather than an indie?

- I'm most likely going to exceed the allowance of 5000miles p/a, but is it common for VW to provide any discount on the excess mileage if you called them up say half way into the lease?

- for Gap insurance do people usually take that out only for first year or for the duration of the lease? Any good recommendations?

I do hope everyone who ordered will get their nice new motor. I don`t think VW can afford all the potential bad rep atm. Surely it would end up on Watchdog and CAB etc. May as well take the hit now, and shift some motors, rather than annoy all these potential new customers, get yet more bad press, and seriously anger all their (already unamused) dealers (and still have a car park full of the things).
Pretty sure, either way, somebody somewhere is going to be demoted to tea-boy/girl - if they`re lucky.

Neither did i and yep took us all by surprise. Looking back at my spending history, 90% of all my barganious buys are via HUKD! More power to this brill website.

NVS advised me it has to be VW for servicing and one service will be mandatory during the possession of the car, Im assuming the service indicator will light up at some point. What sort of cost are we talking guys?

I'm sorry to anyone who I am offending by trying to keep this matter 'real', but as Carled admitted in a recent post, someone has typed in an incorrect residual value (RV), nothing more.

This does not mean that VW have to honour these deals, and in fact, I'm absolutely positive that they won't.

Let's say that just 100 people had their order fulfilled (bear in mind that there is a lot more interest in this offer than just the members of HUKD), and that for each one, VW lose £15,000 at resale time. That is a £1.5m loss - do you honestly think they are going to take that hit? The 'scandal' that this error might generate is literally nothing compared to what else is going on in VW's world right now - it would be as insignificant as Adam Johnson not taxing his car.

I would never have got one without this deal - was about to spend £19.5k on a 3 year old 3-series touring - which is a lot more exciting than this car (managed to take a DSG Passat for a test drive yesterday before confirming order) but the value for money was too good to miss. Also the BMW was heading out of warranty.

IF in the unlikely event they do honour this money blowing deal, there is no way they will offer a discount on excess mileage. Think about it, the more miles you cover, the less they are going to be able to achieve for the car when they dispose of it at auction in two years time. Assuming they are already blowing £10000-£15000, I can't see them wanting to help you out and put themselves deeper into the red, can you?

Here's my timeline: yesterday 9:00 I see this deal on HDUK. 10:00 went down to my local dealership and took one out for a test drive. 10:30 I signed a quotation at the dealership (190bhp DSG+met paint factory order 14 week wait = £139.99p/m). I was told the finance application and the order form/build date could take up to 3-4 days. I still haven't received any paperwork/order form/build date, and in the early afternoon, the deal got pulled.

This morning, I called the salesperson on the off-chance that my quote is still valid even though I've not been finance approved etc., and to my surprise she has confirmed that my application will be honored as I was quoted before the deal got pulled. She's been told that other dealerships throughout the UK have been similarly instructed by VW HQ to honour all quotes signed before the deal got pulled (so you don't need any finance approval to have your deal honoured). I don't think the individual dealerships will take any loss on this deal so I don't think they are actively trying to deny you this deal, in fact, I am sure the dealerships will count my car towards their monthly target.

Congrats to those who got the deal - It's the deal of the century.

I got the letter too off of "Simon" at NVS but had a few questions for him.

Can I ask - who on here applied for and GOT the car confirmed after ringing them on Wednesday? Anyone? Who made first contact by phone on Wednesday and got the deal?

Simon has made a statement to me which I believe is incorrect so would like to investigate it a little further.

I might be doing like 25k over 2 years so I hope I get away with just one service

Finally got through to nvs and they have said they would email me. Just received this email Good Morning,

Due to the phenomenal demand of the VW Passat Alltrack offer, whilst we managed to process a vast amount of applications, we were unable to process them all before the offer was removed. We apologise for the length of time it has taken to communicate this, other than messages on our website scroller as it was imperative that we processed all accepted applications first. All applications were dealt with fairly in a time received order, it’s unfortunate that we were not able to process them all.

Unfortunately you are receiving this communication as your application was not processed before the offer was removed, however please rest assured that no credit check has been conducted against you, so no search by the funder will appear on your credit file. Whilst there are other special offers available at the moment, nothing compares to the remarkable value the VW Passat Alltrack offer presented.

As quickly as an offer becomes live, it can be removed by the funder or manufacturer for varying reasons, on this occasion this was due to the residual value being set far higher than it should have been.

Whilst VW have confirmed that they will honour all accepted applications, those that were at manual underwriting stage or not submitted in time, will have to be re-calculated and proposed on the new rates which they will launch soon. Your application will not automatically be proposed on the new campaign, once launched if the new offer is of interest we’d ask you to contact the office to discuss this further.

VW are aware of the high levels of interest this new model offer has generated and are keen to reactivate the campaign again soon with the correct rentals, this offer will be posted to our website as soon as we have the full details.

Should you require any further information, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards

I emailed NVS the night before but never got a response. I phoned up the VW garage in Halifax at 9am on Wednesday morning.

It's only £1,080 excess mileage charges then, still a ridiculously cheap deal if it happens.

That's good to hear - pleased for you on that one!

I called a VW dealer at 8:45am on Weds morning and did the deal at about 1pm after they called me back to say that I could still get the deal.

these DSG cars - do they have a clutch pedal?

Multiple sources have confirmed that anyone who passed the credit check WILL be receiving the car. I am one of these people and mine is a factory order.

Why do you continue to be so obnoxious despite the overwhelming information in front of you?

Specifically called NVS - not a VW dealer (I didn't even think to do that lol). NVS are saying no one can order a car through them over the phone.

No clutch pedal. It's automatic. Lovely drive

You are not committee untill you sign the paperwork , as its on your acceptance that an order would be raised.. Canx even after this is a possibility but with potential penalties. This would be my guess. Worth digging into the T and Cs.

The extra mileage cost is 7.2p per mile inc VAT. This is pretty good value when you compare the price of the 5k and 8k lease prices.

So if you were to do any extra 3000 miles per year you'd be looking at a bill of £432 at the end of the lease.

It was in fact cheaper to order the 5k lease and pay the extra mileage rather than the 8k (according to my quote from Swansway garage in Crewe)

8k total cost over 2 years

£4101.18 (£848.52 + 23 x £141.42)


5k total cost over 2 years plus 3k per year extra mileage

£3921.84 (£722.02 + 23 x £120.34) + £432

Let's all meet up for a AllTrack cruise in Ezzer's hometown

These prices were based on the more expensive 190 DSG version.

Haha, now that I'd like to see - won't hold my breath though :smile:

If you do all decide to come over, please remember to bring the documentation to prove that you are only paying a total of around £3000.

I had promised my OH he could choose what car he wanted in July as we have worked hard paying off the mortgage for the past few years. He has been driving my old car without moaning bless him.

He decided he wanted a 4 wheel drive and also wanted touring shape (Audi, BMW) so when this came up it was a no brainer as hadn't even considered it. We have a VW T5 which is a camper conversion and has the DSG box and love it so this was fate :smile:

NVS says they are aiming to send out order numbers tomorrow.

My mate got this through VW Crewe after ringing them up yesterday morning. They said at first they were only honouring the deals signed and returned before 1pm. Although he did the credit check before 1pm yesterday, he only retuned the acceptance form via email late last night. After some umming and ahhing, they've agreed to honour it!

Best price on the Audi was about £4700 for 2 years. £3000 is too cheap. It was an error. I'm arguing that they will honour it because the pricing isn't that far off a legitimate deal.

Funny because that's exactly what I'm in the market for. I currently drive an octavia VRS (non estate) and really want a family car and this would have been ideal. I own my octavia so I should have just gone ahead with this and then sold the octavia later.

I bought a Nissan Leaf from here this time last year, I had no intention of buying a car let alone that particular car. But sometimes a deal is too good to turn down. And this was certainly one of them.

Rotate the tyres every six months and they should last the lease length.

Checked my number on the VW build tracker site and it's definitely went through, this is happening.

Slightly different scenario but I was on the Golf R lease deal in June 2014, fees paid, paperwork signed etc. and had a order number which I could track as at the factory, this didn't stop VW finance pulling the deal. Admittedly this was due to the broker putting personal deals through as business and VW weren't happy.

I also have an order number on this deal through VW Lightcliffe Halifax, 190 DSG, no extra's (I'm not paying for somebody else's toys in 2 years) 3+23, £135 a month. I'm taking it all with a pinch of salt, all the order number means is that the garage have ordered a car, I'm not taking it as it being my car yet, I'm just playing a waiting game, if it comes through then it's a bargain, if they pull it all then I've still got a car and I'm no worse off than where I started. I'm sure it will all become clear in the next week or so.

It's back at £200 a month Inc but with £2k deposit.

It is four wheel drive so not as effective. I'm still on the original tyres after 19k on my Yeti 4x4 and have rotated them to counteract what I call the roundabout effect where the passenger side wears quicker.

So about £7.5k+ over two years? Ouch!

Mine is also ordered from Lightcliffe Halifax, poor bloke looked like he had had a busy day. Will be finding out more on progress next week.
6+23 @ £120pm
I think it will get pulled though

Wow good 4 u

I just saw that. Jokers!!
And that's after the silly email I received stating that vw were eager to replicate the deal because of such interest.
Of course they had interest. This is 7100 pounds instead of 3 grand. Idiots.

I thought it was a front wheel drive car >99% of the time?

Obviously gutted I didn't get the deal. I applied tuesday night online and apparently my application sat at the underwriters so long the deal had gone before it was accepted. And that was after people phoned on Wednesday and were credit checked immediately and accepted.
Incidentally, NVS have live chat that is not live, a rate us link that does not allow you to rate them in anyway. A link to their own prefered 'independent' review site and they do not reply to emails.
If it wasn't a great deal I wouldn't touch them.

It is, but the DSG box can occasionally be a bit aggressive with starting off (if you try and get away quickly) and wheel spin slightly, leading to the 4wd kicking in and also minor wheel spinning the back wheels. Sometimes you'd hardly notice it, but the tiny spins all add up. It's still well worth rotating the tyres after a year, but it's not as clear cut an advantage as with a FWD car.

Have a 190 Alltrack ordered. Still trying to get my head round the spec. I think I read somewhere that the 190 includes the led headlights, does anybody know if this is right. And also the "ergo seats" that come standard, are these the massage seats? I would assume not but I don't see an option to add them? And finally, I paid the guts of £900 for the drop-down tow-bar, does this include the trailer assist gizmo thing with the camera?

I've had a look everywhere but info seems very scarce. Anybody find any Alltrack forums that are any use?

So what was your timeline of applying as everybody else who has posted on here that applied on Tues night for the finance seems to have been accepted and your other post says you waited until the following morning as you didnt think anything would happen overnight.

Many of us received answers to emails and confirmation of acceptance through the night so somebody was working hard :smile:

I think the "live chat" has just gone to message only due to the amount of workload they had as I struggled to get through on the phone.

I can say that emails have been answered professionally and they have been very helpful.

Xx

Thanks for that list djgomatt, still none the wiser about whether "ergocomfort" seats are the ones with massage or not. Nor whether the 190bhp version includes the led lights with drls. No if the tow-bar option is simply the tow-bar.

Guess I'll just have to see what turns up! At the money I'll just be happy to have a car :-)

Have a look here for seats. Says massage is optional

Ergo Seats

Thanks. That clarifies it

Just got my VW Order number through from NVS. Sweet! Everyone elses will be sent out shortly.

any use to u?

Passat estate pricelist and options march 2016

Afaik if you want LED fronts and bi-xenons then it's extra £1250ish I was told

I just got my "you have been finance approved" email from the dealer and they also sent me a customised brochure with my name on the brochure itself. Still no build number or delivery date tho

Late Tuesday night close to midnight - filled in apply for finance form and hit submit.
Early Wednesday- called to ask if this was the right way of applying multiple times, no one answering phone.
Sent message on their not live 'live chat' no reply.
Filled in get a quote form as I read some were doing that first and also re did the get finance. No reply to either.
Wednesday afternoon- sent another not live message asking what was happening, no reply.
Thursday morning sent yet another mail. Shortly after I received an email stating that applications at manual underwriting were not being accepted. I think it was generic and just coincidence I received it after I sent mine.
I replied to that asking them to confirm my personal details would be destroyed and not shared as I hadn't even technically got anything- no response.
So basically a very different experience to you.
Ref my other post, I filled apply for finance Tue night but wasn't sure i had done the right thing and assumed no one would be there until the next morning so waited until wed. Then the next morning I read here people were getting back communications throuought the early hours.

What annoyed me was that I could have just called a vw place direct Wed morning and got the deal. I didnt as I had already applied. Also people who called said they were credit checked in minutes whilst manual applications could sit for 24 hours.
And just to rub it in the email said that vw knew about all the interest in this car (no s%*t) and so were keen to re introduce a similar offer soon. That similar offer was double the price at 7 and a half grand!!

I got an email late on Tuesday night saying that I have been accepted - is this credit check accepted? I have received an official order email with a request for the admin fee payment

Price is back down to £1800 + 23 x £210 now

Yes - that means if you return the order form and pay the admin fee they will place the order with VW.

Back down?
You mean way up.

Did you ask why your credit check went manual? I did my application fully online and received confirmation within an hour it was accepted and others who did theirs through the night did the same.

That is still a good price. What do you expect? Vw to continue selling a car at a loss because they made an error?

They did not reply personally to any of my emails or applications. All I got was the generic let down.

No I don't. I also don't expect the claim that 7 and a half grand instead of 3 is 'replicating the offer' or would you say it was?
Oh and I forgot about the small near on 2 grand first payment instead of 350 quid. Almost identical.

NVS did not say that VW would 'replicate' the deal at all, what they did say was:

"VW are aware of the high levels of interest this new model offer has generated and are keen to reactivate the campaign again soon with the correct rentals, this offer will be posted to our website as soon as we have the full details".

Replicate and reactivate the campaign mean totally different things.

Fair enough, so care to explain what that meant then aside from ' we will put the normal price on soon'
If you want to be pedantic reactivating the campaign would actually mean it being the same as before so reactivating it with different prices actually makes no sense.
You don't by chance work for nvs do you.

Busted :smile: yeah of course I work for them.

Reactivating the campaign is just that - promoting a vehicle model for a campaign. It doesn't mean "replicating" the price.

You are starting to sound bitter now with your insults :smile:

You missed out on the deal. Like me and many others. Get over it mate. :smile: win some lose some. It's only a car.

No insults here as far as I can see. 'You' was used in the grand sense. Didn't mean you specifically.
Maybe by working for them you should have offered more explanation and help as to what happened and why no one replied rather than passing yourself off as a happy customer of the company you work for?

Are you for real?????

Do you really believe I was on the thread in disguise as an employee of NVS :smile:

Like the guy above said - get over it

Be aware that nvs do not speak for vw. I am sure that vw have no direct relationship with nvs. There is part of me that feels both nvs and the dealer's have been a bit disingenuous promoting a deal which was clearly wrong.

First passat alltrack delivered!

Confused.
So your either a customer that ordered successfully but also has access to all the info sent out to unsuccessful orders.
Or associated with the company but saying you placed an order and that nvs have been great.

I agree. Told one of my mates of the deal and he's a senior manager in Ford and just could not comprehend the price and that it was clearly a mistake. The brokers and dealers really did jump on this one - just as I/we did as consumers.

Here's an easy thing to do with fireman1, just click ignore!

I didn't have access to any info you plank :smile: somebody on here copied the email they had received. It was available to all.

Yes I am a customer who was one of first to receive confirmation of an order and I do NOT work or have any connection with NVS. That was all made up in your little head when you got yourself in such a tizz!

If you read back I gave my timeline of applying to help as others requested it.

I do apologise for making that up in my head. Obviously nothing to do with you saying yeah I do work for them. And who has sunk to insults now. Please do hit ignore.

Anyway back to the alltrack.....

I paid initial £££ wednesday afternoon and was told order number would come in 72 hours which takes me to today around 3pm but on NVS website it says they work mon-fri only so now wondering if it will be next week and more sleepless nights waiting and hitting the email refresh button evey 5 minutes or so! It's like being a teenager again waiting for a girl to text or ring you haha

I wonder how many ex-leased Alltracks will have their speedo clocked as most people went for the 5000miles p/a allowance? I know the mileage info is stored in multiple locations but when you return the car back, I wonder how many inspectors actually bother plugging in their diagnostics etc., as I heard in most cases they go straight to BCA auctions

Does anyone have experience of buying cars they have leased? do you tend to get it for a fair price, e.g. expected auction price or is the finance company expecting you to pay retail?

Clocking a modern day lease car is quite possibly one of the quickest ways to a criminal record you could choose. It is why they have multiple locations for the mileage stored. You want to risk your liberty and/or career for a few hundred quid?

My build has progressed and is now with factory.

You can't buy the car you hire... A third party can.....

Of the times I've been to Mannheim and BCA etc, I find ex-lease cars go for book value once you add the buyers premium so I personally don't think it's VFM tbh, I would rather buy from a dealer after a long test drive and added warranty.

I bought my Touran after a two year lease from VW finance but yes it does have to be through a third party so my father-in-law had to make the purchase then transfer to me on the same day so it means you end up with an extra former keeper on the log book. Price was better than book even after I had paid the excess mileage and I knew how it had been driven since new (apart from when then wife used it and the mpg would plummet!)
I have have been assured by Crewe VW mine is on order so thanks to the op!

No, it went up to 5k deposit + 530pm at one point

This is the 1st lease I have done - how is the legal owner and who is the registered keeper? For insurance purposes?

Have a look at page 3, Post 44 onwards

Has anyone that ordered via NVS received their commission number yet?

I have emailed this morning to see what's happening. We'll see what they say. I shall post when I get an answer.

I emailed over the weekend and received mine this morning but they did state they were working through them today.

Got my order number today from VW Crewe, happy days!!

Finally got my commission number. Another 1 for Lookers Newcastle! Bet they are going to be swamped with Urano Grey Alltracks in June. Another happy customer!

Was this an unbelievable misprice that is being honoured, or (roughly) normal price? Seems very cheap, would consider this next September if it was going to be around this price

It was an unbelievable misprice that VW are honouring. Sadly I doubt it is likely to get repeated!

Had my build number confirmed. Absolutely delighted and still a little surprised it has been honoured. Have to say NVS have been spot on with me, answering emails promptly. Thanks a million to redadmiral for flagging this deal.

Just got my vehicle commission number from NVS. I only applied for the car about 15 mins before the price changed so think I got very lucky! Dealt with NVS before and they are very good, always reply quickly to emails.

Another vote for VW Newcastle.. got my order ref :smile:

Yup - Dealing with NVS has been nothing but a pleasure

Thanks OP once again

I guess there will be many grey Alltracks in summer, make sure you give a 'HUKD wave' when you see one! :wink:

I too have received my vehicle commission number this morning, with Lookers Newcastle as my dealership. Really pleased with the service from NVS so far. It still seems too good to be true though, could VW pull the plug and cancel the order even at this stage? Also, has anyone contacted their dealership to get an idea of build time? Cheers

Estimated build week of week 17 on mine, according to Crewe Volkswagen. Tracking still to reflect this but thats what they are seeing on their systems as estimate.

Apologies if this is a stupid question - what does week 17 actually mean in terms of a date? Does it mean the car will be built in the 17th week of 2016 - i.e around the end of April? Cheers

That would correct. Then it would likely take another month to get to the UK

Do you know if these will be delivery only or will I be able to collect from dealer when ready? Thanks

Pretty sure it's delivery only.

Just got my reference number from Lightcliffe today.
If this thing goes full term it will be fantastic.
We should all buy the OP a drink!

Cant believe I missed this deal. Happy with the pulsar deal but this would have been immense

You can collect if you want and you can usually get a free tank of fuel because you're saving them money.

Sorry another noob questions. So I need to get the car serviced at the main dealership (assuming I do 12-14k p.a). For tyres even if I rotate them every 6 months, I think I might need to replace them before the lease end.

Do I need to get the same brand (Contisportcontact)? Or can I get different brand as long as it has the same speed and load rating? Would the assessor at the end of the lease penalise me if I had slightly cheaper budget tyres?

All of this will be in your lease agreement. First service is pretty cheap soi would use main dealer. You will not be allowed to put budget tyres on the car. They will charge you to replace them.

Got my VW tracking no from Crewe VW today as well, and it's at the "with a factory" stage.

Question for people who got it through Crewe VW - did they tell you that the deposit will be paid once the vehicle is all ready? I've noticed that some people have already paid their deposit with other retailers.

Yes, I'm still confident that they will. The deal is financial suicide for them.

I was told by Chester dealer that I need to pay deposit 2 weeks of the cars arrival

I was told by them that the first payment (+3) is due 11 days or so after you receive the car. Plenty of time to sort all that out though

You seem quite bitter about this, is it because you missed out? There were the same kind of replies from other people when I got the £169 flights to NY and the £200 should have been £1000 M&S Panasonic TV too. All found in Hot Deals and so glad I went for them at the time because they all came off!

I'll be gutted if they don't honour the deal but I fear you might be right. Has anyone had any experience of having lease deals confirmed, then the manufacturer cancelling the order?

No mate, to be fair, I would have loved the £200 TV, honestly never heard about it before.

As I said in a previous post, I get a better car (in my opinion/experience at least) than this 'free' with my job, so honestly couldn't/wouldn't have took the deal even at £50 per month. I'm just being pragmatic, and trying to give people advanced warning that they are likely to be bitterly disappointed.

Thanks for the reply guys @Redunitedlee and @shininghero - much more confident now!

Can't wait for the car. Still trying to figure out all the standard equipment it's getting, as it's not made clear on the configurator or the spec pdf. It's above the GT spec, which is great - very decent if I understand everything correctly.

You are going to look very silly soon and I'm looking forward to the apology. Not surprising you continue to be obnoxious about how you have a better car etc. You really are a piece of work aren't you?

I can't see why this wouldnt be honoured. It would be a huge headache rectifying all the hard credit searches that vw have put on records if they pulled it due to their mistake.
The deal didn't work out for me but I blame nvs for that, not vw.
I actually enquired about leasing the same car on the new correct rates and they still couldn't be bothered to get back to me. Maybe they know anyone leasing an alltrack now will be waiting forever due to all the backorders.
And I bet nvs have been quick to take their fee's from everyone.
Official dealers all the way from now.

Got my confirmation :grin:

Snap. That garage is going to be fed up with Grey passat alltracks by the time this has finished..

Got mine from CVL but I've gone for a Metallic Silver. I'm in Newcastle and mines coming from Cardiff!

If anyone wants to get a better look at what they have ordered the used car search on VW's website brings back a few results.
Change the sort order to youngest first.

Hello guys, sorry for this idiotic question.
As this will be my first brand new car (if I get the order ) , where shall I go to wash my car ? I dont have covered garage where I live . Car will be parked on road so was thinking how often shoud I have it washed and from where?

Currently more often I use tesco car wash and sometimes what ever I see locally .

Getting worried of how to take care of a new car
oO

Thanks and any reply would be appreciated also if any more tips would also be useful for me.

Wash it yourself! Takes about 15 minutes to wash and dry it if you do it once a week!

Personally I would wash it myself. The tesco car wash crew scratched the hell out of my car.

For these non-existent cars, I would recommend a bucket with no water in :smile:

Why not just wait till they "don't show up" and say, "I told you so" then, instead of just trying to start an argument with every comment? What are you getting from it? Your comments would be insightful if you weren't trying to start a fight with every one.

It was just a bit of fun Keith, hence the smiley face.

Got an provisional build week number 19 which is week commencing 9th of May with 3-4 weeks after that date before delivery. Good times!

Worth Googling the "Two Bucket Method"

Build is scheduled in for 16th May here.

Got a build date of 11th April. Must have got in before the rush.

‌ :disappointed: no option of washing it myself ..
No garage for car , car would be on road

I wasn't too sure whether this was a joke:D but basically you have to return your leaded car in good condition allowing for fair wear and tear. You will be charged for dents etc and I imagine any major scratches. Over the years I have had many leased cars and have never faced any additional charge.
So just look after the car and return it clean and tidy. If you really don't understand this just ask your supplier: they will tell you what is required. I doubt whether they will tell you how to wash your car :grin:

If it WAS a joke then well done for getting so many responses

That doesn't stop you. Water is transportable in bucket form.

Where are finding these build dates from?

I have just received confirmation from Crewe VW that my Alltrack now has a build week 19 commencement. Garage estimates delivery to me around mid June

Got an email from NVS today with mine although it does stipulate this is only provisional and subject to change.

anyone ordered from central uk leasing got any confirmation/order numbers/build dates through?

I did. Now I'm facing a disciplinary......

Exactly the same here!

Did anything change when with your order tracking on the VW website? Mine is still stuck at "With the factory" stage.

I have a 2nd week of April build date. I'm hoping there is a slim chance to get it before we go away on holiday mid May.

No, the VW website still shows "With the Factory" however I believe the dealer's website is more detailed and the information has changed from week 17 (believed to be a default value) to week 19. Based on this, I would hope for delivery mid June. Still plenty of time for the whole thing to go belly-up:(

I think it's gonna go through. There was a lot of opportunities for it to be declined.

Its a shame the build week is so late, as I'm away on holiday mid June.

I have week commencing 16th May, however, this is unconfirmed and may be subject to change. It takes an estimated 3-4 weeks from build date for the vehicle arriving at the dealership.
So mid June hopefully.

Sorry about late response. I assume you mean lease as we are talking about a lease deal on this thread not purchasing.

If you are a director of your company, then you are an employee not strictly self-employed. If you are a sole trader then this is a different story.

The tax situation is complex and seems to change every budget. Throw in the VAT and it is quite difficult for the layman to work out what is best under your own circumstances. For example, the amount of VAT you pay can vary with the type of company you run. Frankly you need professional advice and I assume you have an accountant to prepare and submit your company accounts. I would get him/her to advise you - worth paying for advice that can save you money.

The tax position

Went direct to the dealership and have been told twice that my order is going thru but still build date/order number. Won't sleep easy until I can start tracking my order online!

Same here :smile:

guess they are building a batch of right hookers that week - mine is scheduled for 16th may the 3 weeks for delivery

The factory allocates a certain number of build slots and there won't be many for these. Those orders without will be held in a queue until build slots become available.

No news here just 'finance approved' with central (received on the day just before deal was pulled). Have chased - waiting for return phone call when he has more news - apparently last few approvas 'having issues'. Urano grey?

yep urano?

is there an issue with urano orders? i note on another forum someone had to change color to
progress the order....

Thanks, missed out. Well done to everyone who got it in time.

If prospective owners want to see the manual for the car and infotainment system you can by going here:

I was basing the 8pm on when I read the email from CVL..

I think CVL were in at about 4:30am onwards processing their overnight queries/orders

Just been notified that I can collect mine from the dealer on 22nd March :-) Happy times!

What colour/model did you go for that seems very fast?

How long did offer last for?

I think it started about 8pm on a Tuesday and you need to have gotten quote/finance approval on the vw system by
9:30/10am on the Wednesday morning, before VW noticed and pulled the plug.?

so about 14 hour timeframe of which maybe 2 hours would be deemed "working hours"
when brokers/garages were open


if anyone has any knowledge / experience outwith that time frame please feel free to correct..

The deal went live about 4-5pm last Tues. CVL were the first broker to pick up on the deal and then followed by NVS.

NVS were on the ball though and had at least 1 employee in the office until about 3am - they were confident that approved finance quotes would be honoured so were just processing application after application.

As you say, the deal was then pulled about mid morning the following day.

That must be a stock car rather than a factory order to get it so quick.

Stock car. Silver one.

Yup. All those getting the alltrack - check your insurers. Mine (Sainsbury) will NOT insure a vehicle where I am neither the owner nor the keeper. As VWFS insist on being the registered keeper and owner, I cannot stay with Sainsbury now.

Scratch that. Just spoke to different person at Sainsbury and all is fine with a lease vehicle even if I am neither registered owner or keeper... *sigh*

Mine has been updated on VW site. Went through NVS.......Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 11/04/2016

Nice, how does that line up with the provisional you were given?

Earlier in the week, Crewe VW advised that my build would commence on Week 19 ( 9th May) with delivery to me mid June.
The VW Owners web site still shows "With the factory" so hopefully they will update this to confirm w/number soon.

Plenty of insurers who will insure the car in those circumstances though. An example being the admiral group.

Anyone change there mind on getting one.. I'm ready to take up the offer, with a golden handshake

I admire your pluck (and wishful thinking X) . But still, doesn't cost anything to ask.

Thanks you.

I remember some one saying here that the register owner will be the finance company and the register keeper will be yourself or the company. Isn't that the case?

Even on the below link it says the same
intelligentcarleasing.com/car…nce
Confused oO

Honestly? You're still deluded about this? You don't think VAG have got bigger fish to fry in terms of financial loss at the moment. Sheesh

For those getting one, will you be taking out gap insurance and if so will you be taking it out for the duration of the lease (2years), or only for year 2 or none (as some companies will accept market value settlement from the insurers)?

Also with regards to the insurance coverage, as long as the difference in settlement vs new car invoice cost, and any remaining monthly lease fee is covered I'm fully covered?

In my case I've gone for the £139.99p/m option (got metallic paint and DSG) so 139.99x23months plus any difference in settlement figure plus invoice price of a new car...is this right? I can't believe that if I wrote the car off at day 1, my insurance company will pay out in full for the car and my remaining 23 months worth of payment, AND I still won't have any car left...

On a more serious note, there may be important legal/financial considerations in what you propose. Firstly there is little matter of the legal lease agreement. It is unlikely that VW Leasing would transfer the contract to you bearing in mind that their original offer was a "mistake". Secondly if someone accepted your offer of a premium, they would still be liable for the car under their contract. I could go on but suffice to say this is unlikely to be a runner.
Sorry :-(

I'll be taking the gap insurance for the 2 years from Honest John - it's about £100 - unless my new insurance premium will include cover for getting a new car/invoice value if it's crashed within a year. Better safe than sorry.

Trust me. They won't pull the deal.

Do you have some inside knowledge? :wink:

Probably only for year 2 as my Insurer (More Than) covers the first year.
I used GapInsurance123 on my Yeti as they were keenly priced and the policy is transferable.

Just got an email to say my order is with the factory. Phoned vw dealer who confirmed this is happening.

If your insurance policy covers you "new for old" in year one then you only need worry about year two. VW told me directly it's 55% of outstanding payments they require in year 2 if there's a total loss/write off. They also negotiate directly with the insurance company to settle the book price of the vehicle, so it's only the outstanding payments that you're liable for. Worst case scenario this is 12 x your monthly payment x 55%. VW also said that sometimes they will be paid slightly more than their settlement request from the insurance and, in that eventuality, they will reduce the outstanding liability even further.

To me, this only exposes me to £1300 + my £200 excess, so £1500 in all. Many GAP policies seem to want to give me a minimum of £5K cover, which seems way too high. Why would anyone need that if the insurance company is going to settle with the owner anyway? I'm severely confused...

I have seen some insurance companies that stipulate YOU own the car to cover that 1st year new for old and as we wouldn't be the owner on these it would be invalid. Just be extra careful and check those policies carefully

Insurance is coming up so cheap on this! :smile:

I'm planning on doing 12-13k p/a so I'm going well over the allowance. I have read online that my car ca be put on a "long service" ie first service will be due in 2 years, rather than annually.

Does anyone know how you get on a long service? Does the onboard computer automatically detect my usage?

in my experience when given an option lease companies and indeed garages will always autoselect
the variable service option if its possible, more you have to ask to be on std service.

How much are you getting quoted?

Has anyone's tracker updated on the Volkswagen website?

About 360

Is that comprehensive!?

I've tried gocompare and moneysupermarket, the cheapest I'm getting quoted is for comprehensive cover is over £1000! :O

I live in peaceful Norwich

If a car is valued over 5k then it has to be comprehensive

£275 for me with protected no claims. Need the real reg number to be 100% sure though. Wonder when we will get these?

Annoyingly still not got my order number from the dealer yet...just saying...:( anyone else waiting for the confirmation?

I ran my comp insurance with bonus and it came to £380 inc protection and wife added as named driver (10yr ncb, Cheshire).

About £270 for me on my policy too, protected no claims of about 10 years. Are you a rally drive, 2StepSteve? ;-)

As to when we get them... 30 hours from now for me :-) Oh, you meant the number plate, sorry. No idea - mine's a stock car.

Shininghero
I was in the same position as you so chased with NVS and they chased the dealer who provided an order number by lunchtime the next day.

Christ! I'm not, but am starting to think I am! Have been driving for 16 years, 3 years ago was involved in an accident which wasn't my fault and filed for a claim. That's the only time I've claimed.

youtube.com/wat…frw

If you want to see a very thorough review on this vehicle.

Still not seen a 'real' photo of this car in urano grey, i hope to see it here first :wink:

Saga (for over 50s) quoted approx £350 for self and wife. One claim last year but "protected" no claims. Nevertheless premium went up by 40% - so much for the "protection. Quote shows 6 years NCD.

Have a look on VW's used car search, you could borrow a number off there.

I had an Audi which was on the long service interval. As far as I could tell, the only significant difference was the oil used. VERY expensive but it allowed you to just about double the service interval. Overall worth it. I think the dealer had to change a computer setting.

Guessing my area in London doesn't help with the insurance costs. :grin:

Since going for this deal I am continuously looking out for VWs which are in urano grey, I've seen a few!

And what do you think to the colour? I kinda like it and was surprised. I hunted down a 15 plate Tiguan in the same colour (only newish model I could find in it near me) and it looks ace in the flesh. Am looking at a Alltrack (albeit in Silver) next week but can't seem to find an Alltrack in Urano anywhere at present!

I really like it. It's a really nice dark grey, if it was a lighter grey I wouldn't be keen.

I've been offered this same car for £198 per month with no deposit. I'm tempted. I know it's a good £60 a month more, but it's still a lot of car for the money. And I'm in the market for a family car. Thoughts?

Full leather, sat nav and colour choice included. Free delivery to address.

Dsg version?

Which company offering this? When you say "no deposit" do you mean the 3 mths advance rental and for what period is the lease - 24 or 36 months. Seems like a good deal particularly if it is for the DSG (not as good as the VW snafu mind you :-) )

Yes DSG. Found it on Twitter weirdly enough. I've emailed them just this afternoon to confirm and it's still on. Search for @AMC_cars_ashley and scroll down to the 9th March.

9th of March is when this offer was on then subsequently pulled but if they're still honoring it on that pricing structure, worth doing the calculations to compare. Millage?

Update : Just emailed them and got this back.. thank you for your Enquiry I'm afraid that deal has now expired however I can supply you with something else if you like ... What is your monthly budget?

Move along...

That's strange the guy literally messaged me on about 3-4hrs ago. Shame.

He also messaged me about 10pm last night saying the deal is on if I'm interested. And confirmed it was a 2 year lease, not sir of mileage yet. I'm gonna convince the wife and go for it, might steer clear of urano grey though......hahaha. I'm only jealous really

The deal this firm are offering works out at £4752 for the 2 years. But it does include leather, sat nav and colour choice. So whilst it is still a lot more than this deal I'm struggling to find more car for my money than this. Maybe I should post the deal separately so other folk can do it. The guy said he leased 22 last month and has leased 12 so far this month.

Definitely post it. I'm still interested

If you sit on your hands too long, it will be "all gone". Finance checks are being made on you all the time. For example getting insurance quote. Natwest used to provide free access to the Experian database and I had a look once out of curiosity - I was amazed. VW leasing will do a check before confirming order.

If it is a good deal that meets your requirements then grab it while you can. I am expecting my Alltrack at end of May having struck while the iron was hot. I'm sure I will be delighted when it arrives.

and me! Actually dont post it I keep missing out keep it on here for a bit :sunglasses:

Mine still says with the factory. Although NVS gave me an estimated build date in May. I've emailed the dealership but had no reply. Will give them a call tomorrow to see if there is any update.

I'm sorry but I don't believe for a minute that you can get the Alltrack 190 DSG with leather and colour choice for £4752 over two years now. If you can, then I'd be delighted to be proved wrong but I think you're being hooked in for a "bait and switch" here. The name of that twitter account rings a vague bell for trouble that I've read somewhere else. Be cautious!

Sat Nav is standard anyway. If they're telling you they can include an upgrade to the Discover Pro system then it's even more ridiculous. The cheapest leather upgrade (Vienna) is over £1800 as an option. Discover Pro is £825 and metallic about £525. That's £3150 in options alone, leaving £1600 over two years for the base car. Yeah, right...

Please don't get suckered into letting any money change hands on this before you properly check it out. It stinks like 5-day old kippers. Anyone thinking that lightning is striking twice and VW have "made the mistake again" needs to be a bit cautious here.

Do you have any photos you could post please?

I do agree. It does still seem a too good to be true kind of deal. But the company do seem to be legitimate. I will give him a call this morning to see what he says. I will report back.

I've called them and the salesperson on his mobile and got VM. Also messaged on Twitter and got no response. I assume this deal is just vapour...

What do companies achieve from posting deals that are not actually availble? Except a bad rep.

If this does turn into a miracle and work out I'm going for the Metalic Orange with the 19s. I've seen a picture and I think they look smart. No doubt I will regret as soon ss it arrives but another good thing about lease you don't have to sell it on. But a long way to go yet.

It's a bit of torture this, a glimmer of possibility that I may get one.

Hows the new car then?

Call back from Tom after messaging and leaving v.mail ...All gone :disappointed:

Bloody marvellous. Love it :-)

They were "all gone" weeks ago about a day after the VW mistake! The reason companies post fake deals is obvious, surely? "How about this alternative model sir? OK, so it's not quite as good as that deal but the Seat Alhambra/Vauxhall Zafira/Trabant is FAAAR better value than that poxy VW you were after, etc." If they get just a few percent falling for it, it makes it all worthwhile.

He's come back to me to confirm the deal and it's for 10k miles. Not sure what to do next to confirm its a real deal? He said I have to be accepted on the lease. By this does he mean a finance check. I know I would pass but I don't want a check happening if it then just came back that the deal wasn't available.

It gets better and better - not only is it ridiculously cheap, it's also for 10K miles p.a.! Ask him to provide the quote in writing, detailing the options and costs (which will show up the unachievably low rate for the base car) and build/delivery date. Then ask him what up front payments will need to be made and when and whether any credit checks will be done prior to confirmation that the car is available.

If he comes through all that smiling, then he's a wizard and you should fill your boots. the best "bait and switch" is done when the poor unsuspecting punter is deeply committed already.

Just got my new Noddle report and it does show "Volkswagen Financial Services (Sr Tac) Volkswagen Financial Services (Sr) Api Dm" credit application check on the day I applied, which just confirms the deal even more. Can't wait for the car :smile:

just got text from sales guy, they stopped doing that deal yesterday. pretty convenient. Oh well, its only cost me my address info, bank info, wage info, etc, etc.... basically, in most cases, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Is anyone still waiting for a production date? - I still have the status of 'with the factory'

I've had mine confirmed through VW Crewe, but my order status at vw website still says "with a factory"

15 days after I ordered the car at my local dealership I finally got sent an order number. Pretty useless to track online for now as it just says "processing your order". I guess I will sleep easier now that I have an official order number:)

Btw I went for the Tungsten Silver as the Urbano Grey reminded me too much of the flat grey Audi TT that see around mine. I personally didn't want anyone thinking "Oh I bet he got that Urbano Alltrack on a price glitch lease deal" :smile:

On the contrary, I am (going to be ) delighted when people say that I must be a sharp cookie to have got such a bargain. I think I am going to get a sticker stating the leasing costs so that people will be envious. :grin:

Just had a text from VW to say my order has been progressed and is due for build week 18/04!!

Awesome! Are you NVS or dealer direct?

mine is also confirmed for build week 18/04, happy days!
Order placed with VW Crewe....

same build week here.
were offered home delivery as well.

Went through VW Crewe as they were doing free delivery and no admin costs

Likewise here, order week confirmed - VW Crewe.

Confirmed on VW website as well or just by VW Crewe?

Can you look into why you are posting the same comment multiple times, sometimes hours apart? I

Truly sorry about this but I don't know why things are getting posted twice. I will unsubscribe then try resubscribing and see what happens. Any suggestions welcome as I am only intentionally posting once :disappointed:

Are you posting on a mobile?

my order number with VW lightcliffe also changed to build date 18/04 this morning

Only very occasionally. Mostly from a web browser.

Call me a cynic, but the one and only person who has supposedly successfully picked up their car from this amazing, 40 page deal has nothing more than the above to say about it?

My opinion is that if Carled actually had the car, there would be more photos of it on HUKD than the previous record holder, the Moto G :smile:

Some of us have seen photos. You just need to know where to look

Has anyone who ordered through NVS had an update on their tracker? Thanks

I ordered from Lightcliffe early on and got the order number through that day, but it sat on the VW order tracking system as 'Processing' for over a week. Eventually moved to 'At Factory' a couple days ago, but no movement yet on build week. I recall reading somewhere that each dealer gets a set number of factory allocations per month/period to ensure an even spread across the dealer network, which can lead to some orders progressing slower than others.

Thanks for the info

Mine has been at stage 2 (with factory) for 2 weeks. Ordered via NVS. If you go onto the order tracker site and change the last 2 numbers of your order you will find out there are loads of cars ordered and at same stage. I count at least 12 same model as i have ordered going to same dealer and more of other versions going there. They must be swamped!

A dealer has limited orders but also the uk has limited orders of each model. A dealer will get a share and any orders over will be held until either the dealer quota becomes available or othee dealer orders are not fulfilled. Once the order is at factory status it means the order has been sent to the factory and will be scheduled into production. It should be built within 2-4 weeks.

Thanks :-)

Are you still here?

Yip same here, confirmed on the VW build checker web site.

Had a text today. Mine is scheduled for build in mid April. Boom.

Where is that? Genuinely interested..... Thx

pistonheads.com/gas…=40 and page 4

picked mine up this morning from the dealer what a car !!!

What site did you upload your pics to?

Google pics & I copied and pasted the link etc #fail

Wow that car is the bees knees. I've never been a fan of estates but it looks the business. Agree that I'd have to put the 19s on it. Well done. I'd be in pain handing the keys back in 2 years. But a great 2 years you will have. I need to stop coming back to this thread it makes me more unhappy i missed it.

I keep coming back to this thread to punish myself. I learnt a v expensive lesson with this deal.

I'm the same, I've missed this deal and I keep coming just to see what I have lost. In the mean time I bought a near new BMW 5 Series just because I needed a car. This would have been very nice for 2 years..

Has anyone see a good price for the 19" alloys to fit on after the car has been delivered?

Why?

Needless to say some will always try to chav it up with aftermarket wheels :grin:

Oem isn't aftermarket.

I'm still waiting for a build date - is anyone still waiting?

Personally I'd much rather not have the 19" alloys mine has. I also have dynamic chassis control and I leave the car in "comfort mode" most of the time to keep the ride decent. You'd need to have the onboard computer tweaked too otherwise you're going faster than the car thinks with bigger wheels on.

Each to their own, but I find large alloys pointless and uncomfortable on a car! I can't see them when I'm driving and why would I care what other people think about what my wheels look like?

I had a build date via e-mail but the VW tracker is still at stage 2 - with the factory :disappointed:

I'm the same, build date in email from NVS states Mid May but tracker shows with factory, im guessing it takes time for the website to update, maybe weeks.

Tracker is updated 4 weeks prior to build, that is when the date is 'confirmed'.

Thanks, just need to be more patient :smile:

My build date of 11th of April is rapidly approaching in theory car could be here by 185th of May? Week to build and 4 weeks to ship?

Same as me....hopefully !

Assume 19" wheels have lower profile tyres so outside diameter is the same.

Only problem with 19" wheels would be that they're more succeptable to damage.

...and cost more ;-)

Yeah, fair point about lower profile to offset increased size.

I'm getting 18s but might buy set of 19s. When the 18s get near legal limit swap them for 19s, then when I hand back the car put the 18s on and sell the 19s. Thinking it will work out cheaper. Maybe even save 18s for winter and use 19s in summer.

Regardless of pros and cons, they do look better and I'm not ashamed to say that I like to drive a good looking car

Mines has just been delivered today :smile:

Pics please, urano grey?? Stock car im guessing? They're like gold dust but not for long.

Tell us more!

Just for those with, or getting soon, the Alltrack that want to protect the boot from dirt, wear or dogs (or all 3!) I can highly recommend the following bootliner from ebay for £59.95. Fits like the proverbial glove and is washable.
Titan boot liner

Midnight blue :grin:

Did you take your SD card out or have you not put it in yet? Curious why your sat nav is complaining?

It wasn't put in. It was lying in a DVD styled box inside the dash :grin:

Ah. My dealer had already put mine in for me.

My order is still "at the factory" stage and hasn't moved for a good while. Kinda deflated a little and my current car needs a service, MOT and insurance renewal too:(

Same here, with factory.

Yep, me as well.

Looks lovely Scotty - Enjoy!

I seriously can't wait to see someone post up their URANO GREY version soon, just want to see how it looks!

Noticing the metalic options are coming in quicker as they have the stock / shipping across, urano grey will be pending factory builds so wont materialise for many just yet.

I saw a brand new Urano Grey touran in person today, looked a lot nicer than I thought it would.

Same here

I couldn't find an Alltrack to go and see in urano but found a 2015 tiguan in same colour and in the flesh it was lovely so not worried about the colour its ace. Especially for a no cost option.

Yes, I've seen a few other VW cars around in Urano and they looked good. Much better than I was expecting and whilst I'm pleased to have paid for the metallic grey, I would have been happy with the base colour.

Mines still with the factory and pending a build date, NVS emailed me yesterday stating that the provisional build day is 2nd May and will take a further 3-4 weeks to arrive at the dealer. The dealer is Newcastle.. I'm in East London. :grin:

I was very quick to put my order in, I did so on the night that the deal was posted, but I think by inquiring about colour options it resulted in my order slipping down the processing queue.

After original order i was given build week 19 which was 9th May and this changed to build week 17 which is 25th of April then 3-4 weeks but still only at status 10 and isn't set in stone until this changes to status 20 apparently. Mine is also coming from Newcastle along with around 15 others minimum. They probably have a good relationship at NVS with this dealer as it's local to their offices.

I'm based in Scotland and mines came on a trailer today (as seen from the pics in my previous post on page 41 of this threat). The trailer came from down south in England (I think London). It was ready last week but missed the weekly trailer to Scotland so it got put on this weeks trailer.

When the trailer arrived, the driver called me and told me to come to the main street nearby as he was carrying 9 other vehicles and wasn't going to risk driving into the estate :grin: When I went, my AllTrack was offloaded and the driver was saying this is his first experience seeing one of these AllTracks, the other vehicles on his trailer were also VW's but they consisted of vans, jeep styled and some others.

I did have a few marks inside on the interior which I notified my dealership straight away incase I get pulled up for it come 2 years. Fairly minor but nonetheless worthwhile pointing out now than later.

Finally... VW order tracker moved to 3 of 7 build week confirmed. 25th April. Should be mid may delivery hopefully

Another build week confirmation here

Build week 17 just confirmed. Two weeks better than provisional date given to me by dealer when I signed agreement :grin: .
It looks as though the month of May will see swarms of Urano Grey Alltracks roaming around UK.

Guys i was just at the local vw dealership, with the view to spot an ALLTRACK but very rare.. He said :wink:

Anyway I saw a urano grey polo and absolutley loved it!! Pics just does not do this shade justice. So glad my ammendment to change it to 'white' at cost was rejected due to the deal being pulled.

Took a quick snap of the Polo to show you guys the urano! My missus was very impressed too :smile:

My build week 17 has also been confirmed by both VW Crewe and VW online tracker.

@Scotty, which dealership did you go with?

Had mine confirmed for build week commencing 25th April :smile: very pleased

Guys, I've just seen a trailer full with Alltracks while coming today to work (Watford). Different colours. I'm guessing quite a few will have their beauties delivered today. I've missed the deal but I'm very happy they are keeping the promise and started delivering the cars. Well done to everybody who got the deal. Enjoy your car!

If you mean me, I haven't seen any of the £130 p/m ones so far...and to Lady Marmalade, I USED to be a VW Service Manager, pleased to say I haven't been in a VW dealership for a few years now.

Build week 17 just confirmed. Two weeks better than provisional date given to me by dealer when I signed agreement :grin: .

Like a bad smell you are back again. Looks like you were totally wrong but you will not admit it. Nothing for you to see here :smile:
