Buyers can double the scrappage deal saving; Volkswagen.


IT IS very easy to assume that the pounds 2,000 Scrappage scheme is the maximum amount you may expect to have a new car reduced by, but that is not the case.

Take Volkswagen for example. They have announced some additional contributions to the Government''s car Scrappage scheme on models across their range.

Some will receive a reduction of more than double the Government''s two grand.

If you buy a Volkswagen Golf S model you will get a total saving of pounds 3,950 on diesel engines or a saving of pounds 3,250 on petrol engines.

This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from pounds 10,825. Other models in the range, such as the Golf SE, GT, GTI GTI Gas Technology Institute
GTI Global Taxonomy Initiative
GTI Good Time Interval
GTI Guelph Turfgrass Institute
GTI Green Theme International
GTI Gordon Training International
GTI Georgia Transportation Institute
GTI Group Travel Insurance

, will continue to get the standard pounds 2,000 Scrappage scheme incentive.

A total saving of pounds 3,250 is available on all Golf Estate, Golf Plus and Touran models.

The Golf continues to be one of the nation''s favourite cars. There really is something for everyone within its range.

The GTi has become something of an icon, as has its diesel stablemate Noun 1. stablemate - a horse stabled with another or one of several horses owned by the same person

The GTD''s combination of 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds while offering a potential of 53.3mpg takes some beating. Under the Scrappage scheme the GTD will cost pounds 20,450, while the quicker but thirstier GTi will start at pounds 21,015.

Volkswagen is also offering a total of pounds 4,250 off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and extremely stylish CC. This means you can buy a new Passat Saloon from pounds 12,750.

The Bluemotion model is particularly attractive because it produces a meager mea·ger also mea·gre

And, thanks to various engineering tweaks and low-resistance tyres, average fuel economy is approaching 60mpg.

If you want to buy a new car without spending a fortune, then the VW Fox hatchback is worthy of consideration. When the Scrappage scheme is taken into account, it drops in price to just above pounds 5,000.

CAPTION(S):

DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE A number of deals are available on models across the Golf range. You could save almost pounds 4,000 on a Golf S diesel.
