Fancy an actual diesel V6 for your next light commercial vehicle at an affordable price? Volkswagen has the answer.
The importer has absorbed the on-road costs to lop thousands off the price of the Volkswagen Amarok V6 Highline TDI 580 4x4 dual-cab with automatic transmission.
Practically the flagship of the range, if you ignore the Walkinshaw-fettled models, this variant normally sells for a manufacturer’s retail list price of $61,990.
But this month you can get the vehicle on the road for that same sum of money. That’s zero to pay for the registration, the stamp duty and the compulsory third-party insurance.
Buyers in the market for something smaller, and less ‘commercial’, might find the Kia Rio S with auto transmission more to their liking.
This variant of Rio usually sells for a retail list price of $21,390, before the statutory charges – the rego, stamp duty and CTP.
But Kia is offering the Rio in this specification at a drive-away price of $21,490.
That’s as little as $100 dearer to drive one home.
Or how about this? A prestige SUV for the urban set.
The BMW X2 sDrive20i M Sport auto normally sells for a retail list price of $60,900, but is currently selling for a drive-away price of $62,500.
That’s $1600 more for the on-road charges, but a net saving of over $8000, depending on where you live.
So it’s good to know that even in a market where demand outstrips supply, there are still some great bargains to be had.
