This saving includes the £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from £11,600 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme. (Golf SE, GT, GTI and GTD models will continue to get the standard £2,000 scrappage scheme incentive). Click to explore the new Golf. 

Volkswagen are also offering a total of £4,250 saving off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and CC.  This saving includes £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Passat Saloon from £13,495 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme.Click to explore the Passat.

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

Please explore the rest of our model range within the website to find the vehicle that’s right for you.

To be eligible for this saving your old car or van must be scrapped under the new Government scheme. Your old car must have been registered on or before 29th February 2000 or a van must be registered on or before the 28th February 2002. You must have owned the car or van for a minimum of 1 year. The Government and Volkswagen will then contribute £1,000 each towards the price of your new Volkswagen.  The scheme will help remove older cars from our roads, replacing them with safer and more environmentally-friendly models.

Please contact your local retailer for further details of this scheme.
