At a bargain price, the Volkswagen ID.5 becomes a great deal

The Volkswagen electric coupe SUV has never found its audience, and unsold units are cluttering showrooms. Logically, the promotions are getting frantic.

It’s difficult to anticipate the negotiation margin of a Volkswagen dealer when you broach the subject of the financial effort they might be willing to make. At the German manufacturer more than anywhere else, you’re dealing with real professionals trained in the German way. However, when they offer 29% off even before your first phone call, you’re in a strong position to turn the negotiations to your advantage.

The ID.5 is nothing more than a re-bodied ID.4, designed to take the shape of a “coupe-style” SUV. You know, that trend now touching all brands and which seems to be very popular with customers… To the futuristic style of the ID.4, the ID.5 adds a more aggressive silhouette reinforced on the model we’re presenting with 21-inch wheels. Naturally, comfort suffers, but the look is unlikely to age quickly.

With a trunk capacity of 549 liters, a large 12-inch touchscreen, and impeccable build quality typical of Volkswagen, how can one explain the commercial failure of this car? It’s quite obvious given that the range exceeds €55,000 quite comfortably! Too expensive to carve out a place in the sun, but with a discounted price, the game changes.

Thus, the Volkswagen dealership in Salon de Provence offers a new ID.5 204 Pro Performance for only 41,990 euros.

The equipment list is endless for this richly equipped model, including Blue Denim paint / Black Roof, 21” Narvik two-tone wheels in Silver/Black,… Its list price was €59,405! With its 77 kWh battery and 11 kW onboard charger, the configuration is quite attractive.

However, be careful: since these “used” units are often already registered to boost the brand’s sales, their warranty is already in effect. In the case of this ID.5, it was registered on December 29, 2022, and its warranty now only has 15 months remaining. The dealer is well aware of this, as they offer a 2-year warranty extension / max 40,000 km. A true professional, we tell you. Now it’s up to you to go for a few thousand euros more in discounts. You can do it, that’s for sure.
