Financing Your Volkswagen
Volkswagen financing is about paving a direct path to ownership. It's designed for drivers who see their Volkswagen as more than a vehicle it's a long-term companion on the road. Financing with Volkswagen allows you to:
- Borrow the Full Purchase Price: This includes extras such as Protection Plans, accessories, and fees, with taxes calculated on the full purchase price of the vehicle.
- Registered Ownership: While you pay your monthly installments, you are the registered owner, and upon completion, the vehicle is entirely yours.
- Customizable Payments: You can tailor your monthly or biweekly installments to suit your financial situation, with the first payment due 30 days after taking delivery.
- Personalization: Tailor the term, repayment structure, and more to suit your individual needs.
- Upgrade Flexibility: You have the freedom to explore upgrading to a new Volkswagen with your dealer anytime during or at the end of your fixed term.
Leasing Your Volkswagen
Leasing a Volkswagen is about enjoying the latest in design, safety, and technology while maintaining financial flexibility. It's perfectly suited for those who enjoy driving a new vehicle more often. With a Volkswagen lease, you can:
- Enjoy Lower Monthly Payments: These payments are typically lower than finance payments on the same vehicle, calculated based on a pro-rated amount plus any extras, with taxes only on the monthly payment.
- Non-Ownership with Benefits: While you don't own the vehicle during your lease term, at the end, you have the option to buy your Volkswagen for a predetermined price or return it.
- Tailor Your Lease: Customize your term, kilometre allowance, and more to suit your personal situation.
- 4. Upgrade at Term End: At any time during or at the end of your lease term, you can explore upgrading to a new Volkswagen with your dealer without any early payout penalty.
VW Select: A Unique Financing Option
VW Select is a unique financing plan that combines the benefits of both financing and leasing. It allows you to:
- Enjoy Low Monthly Payments: Similar to leasing, VW Select offers low monthly payments.
- Flexible End-Value: On the due date of your final installment, a pre-determined end-value amount becomes due, offering a different approach to completing your financing contract.
- Ownership: Like traditional financing, you are the registered owner while you pay your monthly installments, and full ownership is yours upon completing the final installment and the VW Select payment.

Should I Lease or Finance My New Volkswagen?
