Free servicing on Volkswagen business vans

Volkswagen is offering a free servicing package on its business vans – but tied into a finance lease.

20 June 2007

A three-year or 60,000 mile free servicing pack is available on Volkswagen business vans.

This covers the VW Caddy, Transporter and Crafter models.

However, in order to qualify, business van users have to take out a VW finance lease.

This has the advantage of reducing monthly payments depending on:

length of contract;
amount of advance payment;
proportion of deferred value left to end of the contract.

At the end of the agreement you agree to sell the vehicle and keep any excess above what was agreed. Or take any loss on the value.

It differs from contract hire, for example, where business van users pay a monthly rental. This covers an agreed mileage and time period. At the end of the agreement the business van is returned with nothing further to pay, dependent on wear and tear condition.

Free servicing/finance lease VW Caddy 2.0-litre SDI 69 PS

Initial rental payment £3597
Monthly finance rental £152
Final payment £2664

All figures exclude VAT. Term: 36 months.

Three year /60,000 mile offer – but only on finance deal
