Re: VW Price increases 1st Dec

I stated on another thread that according to the VW dealership guy on the Golf GTI forum who mentioned the 1st Dec prices rises that the ID3 models will be pretty much exempt from the rises so as not to disturb the grant threshold eligibility. They don't need to put their prices up, they just clawed...

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

Some people are ordering cars to just to sell as soon as they have delivery (or decided to sell their new cars as they still have existing cars). They sell at just below RRP, at lower prices than dealers and have buyers - some people do not want to wait. Many are working from home (until their jobs...

Re: New Car Warranty

For every other VW/Audi I have ever owned from new (15!) The brake fluid change is at year 3 and every 2 years thereafter, I expect the ID3 to be the same. For me, that 3 year service plan is probably going to be a service at 2 years old (cabin pollen filter change kick the tyres and "checks&qu...

Re: Tricky Decision

I know 2 people with e208s and they both have an ID3 on order. As French cars go, the e208 isn't bad at all - the interior is much higher spec than I was expecting. As already said, the residuals of the ID3 will be much better, so tgat oriented differential will be gone when you change cars in futur...

Re: New Car Warranty

Yes, 3 year breakdown on all ID3s. No-one has had an official IDE service yet as it is due at 2 years old and the dealerships/VW don't currently seem to know scope of works or price for the service. Given how little work is anticipated (maybe a new cabin pollen filter, battery health checks and visu...

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

The cash buyer (like myself).is strongly in the minority these days. A dealer who posts in the Golf GTI forum claims over 95% of all buyers take PCP and around 5% of those people settle in the 14 day cooling off period (resulting in the dealership not getting their VWFS bung). These forums generally...

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

When I ordered last month the Carwow discount, including finance contribution was barely £2500, so the dealer was chipping in just £750. DTD was £4500 all in. Cash means nothing to a dealer, they're incentivised by selling finance products. They want the PCP.bung from VWFS which is around 20% of th...

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

One can sell ID.3 privately for a fair profit. Some people will pay near list to avoid a 6 month wait. I would say easily £4k profit, may be more and this is still less than CarWow prices especially if buy price was even lower than DTD. This is as long as chip shortages last. When people are buying...

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

Carwow offers from individual dealers are rarely within £1000 of DTD prices. Even so, if a dealer could give you £1750 of VWFS's money instead of their own margin, they'd probably do it (before the incentive was pulled). We bought 2 ID3s on PCP and settled a few days later to keep the deposit contr...

It works on its own, no further subscription required. Its to facilitate the car's own over the air updates and satnav. You can't use it for your personal data usage though. I'm pretty sure the free service runs for only 3 years, but I'm not aware of any current information on how much will be char...

Re: Hello - and one query!

The car has its own 4G connection. The chargers suggested by the VW satnav are only a small portion of those actually available. Some use Zapmap on their phone, I aim for Moto services when on the motorway on a long journey. There are lots of option, not just in the car itself.

Re: ID3 TOUR WANTED

Apparently the £1750 finance contribution is being pulled tomorrow, wonder whether they’ll reintroduce that at week 48. Yes, pulled now. Those who get delivery now could sell their ID.3 for an even larger profit. How did you know it was being pulled? It was mentioned over on the Speak EV forum earl...

If you've already been approved for finance before it's pulled (if it's pulled), you'll still get it.

Re: ID.3 Colours Available in the UK

You need to reset the tyre pressure monitoring system within the menus to establish the new "normal" for the system.

Re: Motorway Miles

130 miles, even in the middle of Winter with heating and lighting is doable, if you stick to 70mph. Expect to have 180-200 miles of range on an 80% charge in the Summer and 150-170 miles of range in the Winter.

You will need to charge it every day though.
