A facelift “dumbs down” the previous model, which then clutters dealerships. To get rid of it, promotions work…
It’s hard to know in advance a dealership’s negotiation margin when you bring up the question of the financial effort they might be willing to make. The shortage of semiconductors and other parts, the war in Ukraine, and the collateral effects of the Covid pandemic have been valuable allies in raising prices, extending delays by eliminating stocks (to no longer carry them financially), but everything is now coming back to normal. Manufacturers’ agreement to increase their margins is disappearing, and the price war is resuming. Finally…
The power is returning to the customer, who now has a wide range of options to decide. And in the electric market, not a day passes without a new model, an improvement, or a facelift that rapidly erodes the expiration date of a model.
Commercial flop, the Volkswagen ID.3 underwent a major update in spring, both technical and stylistic. Unsold previous units threaten to stay with dealerships, and some are deciding to sell them at a discount.
Thus, the Volkswagen dealership in Salon de Provence offers a new ID.3 145 Pro with options (1-year warranty extension / up to 60,000 km, Mode 2 – Type 2 charging cable (8 A) for domestic outlet, Metallic Gray / Black Roof, 18” “East Derry” two-tone alloy wheels, Tires 215/55 R18), whose list price was then €43,745. With its 64 kWh battery and 11 kW onboard charger, the configuration is quite attractive. Before applying the €5,000 ecological bonus, the discount already reaches 18%, a reduction of €7,945. Add an old car for trade-in as a conversion premium, and the final price drops to €28,800! Which puts it head-to-head with the MG4 Standard equipped with a smaller battery.
Be careful, though: because these “old” units are often already registered to boost the brand’s sales, their warranty is already in effect. In the case of the same ID.3, it was registered on April 28, 2023, and its warranty now only has 20 months left. So consider negotiating a free extension at the time of purchase…
