Discount on new VW cars
Print Edition
VOLKSWAGEN may offer VW owners in Germany discounts on new cars if they turn in certain old models affected by the emissions scandal that has rocked Europe’s biggest carmaker, German news agency DPA said yesterday.
The company has said it would recall around 8.5 million diesel vehicles in Europe that contained such software. The special offers would be available only in Germany, where 2.4 million of the vehicles to be recalled were sold.
Incentives for VW owners to buy new vehicles could help ensure that sales remain stable after the scandal and take pressure off VW dealerships to implement fixes quickly.
Each German dealership will have to handle an average of 1,100 recalled vehicles, DPA said.
The offer of discounts for new car buyers may focus on the owners of 1.6 liter diesel engine vehicles, sources at VW and VW dealerships said.
No decision had been made on the matter yet, DPA quoted a person familiar with the matter as saying. Volkswagen said in response that it was common for Volkswagen and its dealers to consider special offers for existing customers.
