VW ID.3

Yep - first mover and i sent the email last week to be included in the new software rollout however i got no response but the others did, asking them to re-confirm they are happy for it to be delivered so i'm not 100% certain that me sending the email had anything to do with the software delivery...

Has anyone been told of a 2% increase in the price of a VW id3 from December 2022?

I was given two prices, one for if I order in November and one with a 2% increase for after November.

I was hoping to wait till the new year in the hope that they can sort out all the software issues, €41k is a lot of money for something that doesn’t work right, €42k is even more !

Surely that shouldn't happen? That's VW sharing your address with Nissan.

I wonder if your charger would show up if I searched your area?

September deposit to lock in 2021pricing-

In the off chance that someone else on this thread is thinking of purchasing an id3 I was told today that early September would be the latest to lock in a 2021 priced car, any later would be subject to a 2% increase if the car isn’t registered before 2022.

I had hoped to order in November, kick the can down the road to allow time for them to send out cars with proper software. If I put a deposit on an order in November il have to pay the extra 2% for a MY2022.

if any potential buyers come across this feel free to post- I don’t like feeling under pressure but I also don’t want to pay €1000 more for the same car.

Nice one, I wasn’t sure if I was being strong armed to put in the order by them saying there will be a 2022 increase. The sales guy is in fairness a nice lad but it just didn’t sit right.

I was told similar, but more along the lines ' I cannot guarantee the agreed price if you wait to order ' in any case it suits me to get the car early 21.

Is there a thread specifically to advise on this ?

I too am considering this, or this one https://pod-point.com/solutions/driver/home-charging

I would ‘presume’ that’s a yes, they would be pretty underhand to not follow through on what was agreed.

Also Nissan and Kia are both offering 0% on the Leaf and Niro/Soul so VW have to compete.

For the early adopter crew it’s evident the ID3 is a good car but it’s still an EV and people are hesitant to go pure electric, I’d be surprised if VW remove the attraction of 0% finance. A test drive in an id3 in Winter will be a very different proposition for prospective buyers who mightn’t expect such a large range reduction.

Just on Finance ( 0% apr, it took the id3 to push Kia to offer it, my milage is too high for pcp so it’s not on the radar-

First Charge at Ionnity Kill North the other day in my 58Kwh, Stopped at the charger with 18% remaining. Max charge rate was 98Kw. Got to 76% in 20 mins. Nice and fast.

On the way home a few days later from the airport. Stopped at Kill and max rate was only 40Kw.

I'm assuming this occurred as the battery hadn't warmed up from sitting in a multi-storey for 4 days and we had only driven round the M50. Parents weren't too impressed as they just wanted to head home.

All in all I really do like the ID3. Have 6k/kms on mine since May and 3weeks of that it was broken. :D

Silly gripe though. The LKA is piss poor compared to my Kia esoul. Also the Camera reading phantom signage is downright hilarious.

0% finance is gone. So if you’re ordering one now it’s 4.9%. Similar across the entire VW range.

however if you had already ordered in the past few months and you’re still waiting on your car, and agreed to a price at 0%, I’d expect them to honour it.

Our finance application went in when we paid deposit so should stand for a few months.

just saw elsewhere that 12000 vws are parked up awaiting components. Some for 11 weeks now.

I have the middle version of this but it is still in its box. The cost has gone up from 600 last year to 750 currently

When I say the middle version I mean spec wise. All three specs are the same size I think.

This is the only picture I have saved, that is an A4 sheet so it is not a small unit.

I'll take one from the side if I can later.
