Hi Guys

I know it is only Monday the 2nd July 2018, but all manufactures know when Motability’s quarterly prices are, so why are their Motability prices lagging behind the Motability website, and when will they all update?

It is annoying that you look at Motability website and find a price, only to check the manufactures website and find the last quarters price.

agree totally.  Motability lists have certainly been in 4 quarters with fixed dates since i joined in 2009.  its nothing new!  They should be made to honor the prices on their websites(if lower). therefore if you buy a Tiguan R line was £1999 in Q2 now £2499 in Q3  VW should be made to pay the difference.  maybe that would teach them to get their house in order?

also we live in a technological age.  it should be as simple as at 00:00:01  change document from Q2 to Q3.

At the moment I’m playing ping-pong between two VW dealers and my local dealer has just come back to me about an e-mail I sent them yesterday (or more like an ultimatum as I’m getting nowhere with my order LoL) about ordering a VW Touran 1.4 TSi SEL DSG.

I gave the dealer the Motability reference number for the car and asked if the new Q3 AP of £999 (down from £1,499) was for stock only or can be factory ordered.

He was just about confused as I am and he said they check their bulletin and no update from VW on prices have come through yet but asked where I got the Motability car code from ??? , I said that’s the one that goes along with the £999 AP for that car.

He then went on to say he could not guarantee it would be £999 if I went down tomorrow and ordered but said he could order at the Q2 price of £1,499 but then said if I was to order tomorrow the price could well be £999 and as no-one has order a Touran since the price change he doesn’t know what the price will be on the Motability computer in the showroom. That sound strange as surly they can check that before starting the order process or do you sit there for an hour then at the end told the higher price then say, no deal.

BTW they would not give a discount on the AP though I’m not that worried about that if the price really is £999.

Forgot to add, he also said he was unaware of any changes to the engine in that particular model so I’m just hoping that low price is good for factory orders and for the SEL Touran he said their information from VW in build times is 17 weeks so a little bit better than 37 weeks I’ve been told before or did the guy who wrote 37 weeks make a typo.

Thought I’d just add something else that just came to mind and that’s there is no stock of the SEL version at my local or at the other dealer over the hills and far away.

I was wondering where it was I posted this comment and have say I’ve been in contact with Motability today and they said if the search on their site says the AP price for Q3 is £999 then that’s the price, end of.
