Volkswagen sees his 2.4 million German customers with a sjoemeldiesel not like to go to the competition to leave, and considering therefore customers at a trade on a new VW discounts to offer.
The above is not an official press release as such by Volkswagen AG, is communicated, but is brought by the DPA, REUTERS of Germany, based on sources within the embattled manufacturer.
Such a strategy will certainly very soon after the proverbial feces and the fan were in the boardroom of VW, it is, after all, as the European leader important to share to keep. Any other spin that there is that many consumer are not moved by such a softwareschandaal – where the quality of the cars no further backward – move to switch to a competitive brand.
Behind the scenes will by VW already calculated what an attractive option is: discount or no discount. If the first be decided, then doubt that we or the 6.5 billion euros that aside to dieselgate the head to offer will be sufficient.
1.700+ reparatieuren
From January 2016, began with a recall of the offending EA 189-diesel, the estimated repair time is one and a half hour of repair per model, while in some models, only a software adaptation is not adequate seems. For German dealers is this a tough, because on average each trader 1.100 to repair sjoemeldiesels for his choosing.
The consideration to discount is not strange, o.a. the Italian market smell Fiat and Ford blood, and are already busy working on VW’s legs to saw and with the various actions Volkswagen-riders to win. And there is nothing wrong with that, it works well once: salesjongens with a bit of enter to go to this kind of issues straight for the carotid artery.
