Vega Turbocharged December 31, 2008 Author Share December 31, 2008 what's the asking price? basic model $118K. comes with 3 diff kits to choose from with quart Xos. if dont want kit and Xos, less $6K. less another $2K if u take 80% loan and 7 years i think. less another $2K if u r the first 5 to book with them. $120K+ for model that comes with Cruise control, driver electric seat, electric foldable mirrors, panoramic roof, rear parking sensors and bi xenon headlight. OMV around $25-27K. fat profit from them!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear January 1, 2009 Share January 1, 2009 That's ridiculous. My car's OMV is $24K, with $18K COE then. Selling price from AD was $85K. $25K OMV and today's weak COE, and yet asking $118K in this weak economic climate? Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait a year, the prices will come down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMV around $25-27K. fat profit from them!! Not surpising. New models are always priced at a premium. The price will definately moderate and become stable after 6 months. VW is just another bread & butter car manufacturer in Europe...but here in SG, they try to price it like a luxury marque. I think VW earns more than Merc/BMW when it comes to profit margin per car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they earn less each car, their sales will surely leap astronomically! Imagine a VW Jetta 1.4 TSI and Golf TSI selling at around 75K! I'll make Honda, Toyota & all the other conti marque wet their pants! Edited January 2, 2009 by Rickster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
