    We pay less for VWs than Germany at the moment due to the weak pound "they don't like it up 'em!".

    I think that's great payback for years of over-pricing.

    This scrappage scheme is crap though, isn't it funny how all the major car makers put their prices up 3-5% a month or so before it became live, wiping out the manufacturer's contribution to the scheme.

    To be fair, a lot of the price rises before scrappage were becasue of the weak pound against the euro

    Lets see how quick VAG are to put their prices back down if the pound gets back to levels of 1.3 to 1.4 euros to the pound....

    I thought they'd hold putting prices up in this economic climate, as everyone is facing squeezes, but then again, VAG has the enviable position of being one of the most solvent companies in the world right now. Almost everything they make is built to order, unlike Vauxhall, Nissan and Honda who have fields full of unsold cars gathering dist and bird crap here in the UK.

    When I got my Scirocco a week ago, they didn't seem too keen (or desparate) to secure my sale, even with May being a very quiet month compared to March and September's plate months.

    You realise its not just VAG? Nearly all the manufacturers have been pushsing up prices because of the weak pound.

    Vauxhall were the first to hike prices, followed by Ford, Mitsubishi and VW.

    I was just pointing out that VW don't over produce to the point of mass stockpiling, and may be that is why the VW dealers don't seem overly keen to secure your sale (their complacency towards potential buyers has been commented on by lots of people within the forum).

    True about the complaceny, I seem to remember reading elsewhere that Audi claim they have been unaffected by the economic times.
