Re: VW Service Plan - Advice

I'd be asking for them to throw that in as part of the deal TBH,used B6's are ten a penny just now and terrific value for the customer with the dealers really finding them hard work to shift from stock.So with that in mind I'd be pushing the dealer for the service plan and also a GAP policy + whatev...

Re: VW Service Plan - Advice

I think thats a fair bit higher than VW offers tbh mate,VW offer the three years for £250 when you buy a new car or it's free in some cases like if you buy the car on PCP.The place I work a lot of the times give it to the customer F.O.C as the MD's reckons he wants that customer back in three years...

I'm more than a bit "old school" and don't believe in changing what I've used for years just because people around the "scene" say this product is better than that product. I use Autoglym stuff,go over the car once every few months with their paint renovator,then a couple of coat...
