Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is offering customers the chance to drive away with an additional discount on any new Caddy ordered before 31 March, 2017. Every Caddy customer who gets behind the wheel of one of the award-winning models before making a purchase will receive an additional £250 off the price.
Designed to reward customers that take the time out to experience everything that the Caddy offers before making a purchase decision, the new offer could see customers receive up to £1,250 off the price of their new vehicle, if combined with current deals (see finance examples for further information).
Andy Waite, Head of Sales Operations for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said: “The latest evolution of the Caddy has proved hugely popular since its launch in 2015. Once you sit behind the wheel, it’s clear to see how well this van performs: comfortable car-like cabin and driveability, combined with big space and maximum convenience on a compact platform.”
He continued: “This is the first time we’ve had a test drive offer like this to encourage customers to experience the Caddy first-hand. Our aim is to ensure our customers consider all the options before making a purchase, and to get them to think about whether they are using the right van for their business needs. Often a smaller van can still carry what they need it to, but it will be more efficient and more cost-effective over the term of the ownership, helping to reduce overall monthly running costs.”
The test drive offer also extends to the longer wheelbase Caddy Maxi, which boasts an extra cubic metre of load space and standard twin sliding doors. To take advantage of the offer and book a test drive, customers can either visit their local Van Centre directly or use the ‘Book a test drive’ facility on the Volkswagen Commercial vehicles website www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/book-a-test-drive.
Customers opting to take advantage of this latest Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offer have a choice of finance options to suit their monthly budget. The current offers cover contract hire or finance lease, as well as Solutions personal contract plan (PCP). See worked examples below.
