Vauxhall Deals & Offers

Impossible to give you the definitive answer as to what will happen as all contracts/negotiations differ. The specific details in the terms for both the lease and insurance is where you need to look to figure out the what it's you might or might not get reassurance with gap. First premise though is if written off the owner was expecting x number of payments and the residue value to be realised. Finding a car with low mileage at same age/condition in a write off situation is not going to be that easy. I have seen direct line do that - took a few months, gave the guy 1 month rental so month 2 (whilst still sourcing) he needed to rent whilst paying lease to ensure not terminated albeit with no vechile. Owner isn't obligated to accept a different car. Worse case could be (could as it will be in the small print what happens on termination) early termination fees, all payments to conclude and value of vechile predicted at point the contract would have concluded. This would be partly offset by the insurer paying the least they can, albeit above the future predicted value at point of the incident. The difference is where gap may come as a benefit (along with your deposit). Few things to note though is most insurers offer new for old under 12 months , some 24 albeit direct line limit this to only owners (Can't remember poster name on here that gave that). Other than that exception and with a small deposit gap it could be argued as not relevant early on in the contract. Everyone will sell you gap regardless if it suits your needs (is the cause of largest number of formal complaints when people find they are not covered for situations they expected it to). Pro on lease gap insurance though, as its scope is alot smaller than buying it is also cheaper and can give peace of mind for not a significant amount. Hoping that answers a bit more of what you were asking? If not I guess itzy bitzy it is.

Sure

You offering? :o

Frustrating? Would you like some alleviation?

I dont know the answer either which is why i found your answer so frustrating.

Back to 23.50 now.

I think £18 is about the regular price (I don't think the £23 price is used), so this is not a hot deal. I often buy oils from Asda when it has a sale on those items and the price is generally £10-£12 a gallon (at that price it is a bargain).

They do not advertise it as such, but OK. Still a good deal for Dexos 2 though. Couldn't find it anywhere cheaper two weeks ago when I had to buy some, this would have saved me about 4 quid to the cheapest I found then.

£18 is standard price....

Does anyone know what the process is for claiming your reward after your inspection is completed?

See post #15. Your link is for the terms of the 3 rewards you can choose from. Not the initial eligibility. Click the link the OP posted and scroll to the bottom. The "Vauxhall only" clause is there.

Nope, not when I click to read the full Ts&Cs... http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/owners_services/parts_servicing/check-and-treat/terms-and-conditions.html

Could have cooked pizza on the dashboard of my zafira when it went up in smoke - cut out the middleman

You don't need to take a Vauxhall to a garage to confirm it is crap.

Wash 3 includes the following: Hand pre-wash Wheel Wash 8 Brush soft wash Dry Under car wash Triple coloured foam Foam Wax

shows money can't buy you common sense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHFwkFTKtMw

would not use unless your car is wrapped/ has paint protection film

Worker for my Audi SQ5 :D

What??

Heat from me. Not a huge vauxhall fan but it's a decent overall price for 3 years and 8k mileage.

Well if a Scotsman posts it as a deal - it must be! :p Not sure why this is cold - you get a good spec car that's a notch above C1s etc but at a similar price. Hot!

Looking on Motors, the cheapest I can find this car is £11,895, assuming you could haggle the price down to around £11,000, the low rate TSB loan would cost £11,483 (£11k over 3 years), road tax £60 (2 years @ £30) so roughly to buy on finance would cost roughly £11,500. Therefore after three years the sale price you would have to achieve on this car after three years would be around £6,200 to beat this deal. http://www.motors.co.uk/car-44793592/?i=68&m=sr According to Honest Johns, trade in value of a 2014 sxi Corsa is £4,580 with a private sale about £5,600. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/Vauxhall/Corsa/2014/?q=SXi Obviously a good haggle or use of carwow etc will probably return better deals - but this seems reasonable to me?

Thanks OP Bought a Brand new Corsa Never Again will I buy a Vauxhall TROUBLE from start to finish

To be fair I would have gone with the maintenance option. Ive had a Astra elite 1.4t through jet since sept 2016. I have had nothing but problems with it Electronic park brake failed the day it got delivered. Intermittent radio problems, where it crackles and when u use the indicators u cant hear the sound the indicator gives off. Worst of all ESC fault where it goes into limp mode while driving reduce power and reduced steering assist. First time it went in I had to pay out of my own pocket £10 per day for a replacement corsa the dealer put me in. they had it for over a week and couldn't recreate the fault asked me to take it back and monitor it.. this June gone has been faulting so much and randomly loosing power while driving. It was getting dangerous. Took it back to Vauxhall and been there over 3 weeks now. They created a technical case with Vauxhall and they agreed to put me in a hire vehicle at Vauxhalls cost. The test the car daily sometimes faults and sometimes doesn't but Vauxhall seem to be out of there depth with fixing the car I have told the lease company I don't want the car if Vauxhall can't fix it. I am not going to risk mine and my family's safety driving a death trap.. will never have a Vauxhall again.

This is a great deal at £4k for a car with most of the bells and whistles. Excess mileage fee is 7.21p making it a great deal to go for the 5k miles initially. I went for the Elite Nav and just ordered through Jet. It includes the 8" touchscreen (vs 7" touchscreen), coloured display on instrument cluster, shark fin antenna and upgraded steering wheel. Only £6 extra per month. The free metallics are a bit poor. I thought black looked old, maybe because of the bumper plastic. Don't know. I liked white best but it's a cost option. Chose Cosmic Grey. Hoping I get this before 1 April where the cost will go up by £20/month after the tax change. I want to sneak in a 17 plate before then!

Doubt it. Reading the forums, Vauxhall says "it's just one of those things". Not accepting blame... Not surprised!

Here fishy fishy :-)

The points he mentions are nothing to do with maintenance but are warranty issues, all of which can be rectified whether you buy outright, lease via PCH or PCP with or without maintenance.

What colour you go for mate? Gonna order on weekend myself i think

Hot! Picked the Elite Nav model in June on a lease after selling my 2005 320d and love it. yes it's a vauxhall but it's a great car to drive with lots of technology for the price. what other car this price has its own wifi zone!

Cheapest i can get this offer for is 4454.04. Closest i can get to the deal price here.

definite a copper

Is that a Vauxhall cheese sandwich VXR ?

We've been conned by QE for years. Yes all that QE made us appear to be doing great, so great in fact that taxes were going down, the national debt was going down and more services were in the pipeline..oh wait. Anyway, we're here now so so I guess we all find out one way or another. :)

Apparently a lot of people who felt 'left behind' or were 'just about managing' voted for Brexit. Good luck then with the new post-Brexit reality that's about to engulf you. You're about to become 'left way behinds' and 'just can't manage any mores'. Or maybe they believed Nigel Garage's rallying cry about 'fighting for The Little Man'. I do hope these people have now spotted that Nige has gone back to his old day job of being a stockbroker and that his chief financial backer trousered £220 million as a result of betting on Brexit. Ever felt like you've been conned? Oh, and about the EU not doing so great. Well maybe it isn't but WE were doing well, very well actually, in fact better than we had done for decades and surely that's more important, especially if you're going to wrap yourself up in The Union Jack and claim to love your country?

Not everyone voted in the referendum based on finance, Of course the EU is doing great isn't it?

Yep. I'm 100% with you on this. I recently bought a 16 plate car, not because I needed one but because in a year's time, I reckon it will be at least 10% more expensive and because of inflation I'll be that much poorer. I also bought one with the absolute minimum running costs because fuel is set to rocket. I really don't understand the views of people that even now still believe voting for Brexit was the smart thing to do. The £ is already substantially down and likely to crater even further whatever happens with Article 50. Inflation is already with us; I'm already seeing this at Aldi & Lidl. We're retuning to the days of bad money where inflation outstrips what you can get in interest on your savings. And for what? We're already set for £122 billion in lost growth. It looks very much like we'll continue to pay into the EU for access to the single market. Everyone already here will have the right to stay here and the bulk EU law will simply be enshrined in English law! How is that a win?? I find it deeply ironic that people who make such an emotionally incontinent display of 'loving their country' are the very people that are going be responsible for damaging it beyond repair. So sad when, for the first time I'm my living memory that the country was actually doing okay relative to our peers.

Au Contraire. After Brexit , the pound will get stronger and be worth more and so will buy more and prices will go down.. The con is that we have to wait two years to get out of the Evil EU , and instead of paying money into the EU political ideal hole, the Government will be able to spend the money here , where they want and that includes the NHS !

No obvious definition of t&c for the roadside assistance. Other than some fulid top-ups, I'm not sure I'd want to pay £25 to receive some repair quotations.

I agree with you here but that's an old dog that's hard for them to change.

EXACTLY, that's my point, and it's a bloody joke, especially when it's per ticket - the administrative workload doesn't increase just cause you order more tickets, come on! - Maybe add a fixed fee per order, to cover the manual admin workload of doing it - However if it was done online, and you have to print out the ticket yourself/show your email etc, there is literally no justification of having an admin fee in my opinion :( Please don't misunderstand me, I am okay with paying the price it costs, but I am offended that they call it ticket price + admin fee, rather than just one product :P

There is always a booking admin fee all theatre shows will charge irrespective of the ticket price.

Sorry I copied the link assuming the code will be in it code=182471

£2 admin charge, what kind of **** is that - just call it what it is, £2 ticket price! Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. Voted hot as it clearly is. :)

Ah Vauxhall, cold for me, would rather walk

Was perfect when I got 2k for my X ref focus that on its last legs, and they also chucked in interest free payments which was ideal. A brand new corsa for £179 a month is cheaper than most lease deals and you get to keep the car.

Saw an article about this on Honest John website yesterday - Fiat will also give you £2500 off a Fiat 500x. Was considering this but felt the Vauxhalls were overpriced even with the scrappage saving.

Whoooooosh!

Vauxhall should be paying customers to drive their horrendous vehicles.

this will fit a specific engine that will be fitted to several Vauxhalls

Fit this kit and double the value of your Corsa...

Better to lease then you don't need to worry about things like this :P

Will this fit my wife, she's always late with my morning brew!

I haven't got a Vauxhall Corsa but this is a good saving so I've ordered one just in case I ever get a Vauxhall Corsa.

Great car for the money. Good find OP. My daughter has a 2007 corsa and she loves it. Had it a year with no problems. I've only ever owned 1 VW, a diesel Touran. Loved the practicality of it with 7 seats etc, but it was noisy, the cabin marked easily, I had stacks of problems with it and the CS was shocking. Never again.

Think this is worth the purchase? I was looking at buying a vauxhall corsa from Motorpoint but might get this deal instead??

​you need a more interesting hobby!

It's classed in the same sector as the corsa. This class being supermini along with things like the Polo, Fiesta and Clio.

Imagine having an opinion on the product. And btw if you read back it was a moron who said "not vw = hot" who started the whole thing. Yeah it's a hot deal because it isn't one manufacturer. Btw your comment contributes absolutely nothing to the thread.

No a Vauxhall Dealer ex demo and yes it costs more to insure with mods.

VXR power event ex-demo? Did the insurance cost much more with the upgrades?

I bought an ex demonstrator Corsa VXR almost three years ago and the depreciation has been terrible. It has now done 12,000 miles and initially seemed pretty slow. Bigger injectors and a stage 2 remap sorted this out. Unfortunately, this is not feasible with lease cars although the price on this deal is good IMHO when compared to the depreciation.

There not bad cars really,went on a vx power event at Oulton park a few years ago,quite nice to drive with plenty of grunt. and got a high speed lap (well fairly high :D ) with this chap https://www.facebook.com/jonathanadamracing/ was quite entertaining...

Perfect deal for you as it's only 3 years. TBH I think it's mostly tired due to the lack of use. only gets the long run now and again which helps to clean it out.

who the heck drives less than 5000 miles a year? (other than old people who just own a car to pop to the shops twice a week)

it is a vxr which is very well reviewed and liked. compared to other small hot hatches around the deal is not that good when polo gti or 208 gti can be had for 20ish/month less

A whole Corsa for over £200 pm... Wowww

Ah yes you are quite right. New VXR came out start of 2015.

Do a lot of work on cars and never heard of a wheel bearing joint in my life. Do you mean ball joint, cv joint or wheel bearing

offer has expired. T&C vehicle must be ordered before 30th June 2016

Cool...8) http://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/vauxhall-corsa-riskiest-used-car-purchase

Don't buy a 'Vauxhall Approved' car, it is a load of cobblers. Buy one privately with FSH and save yourself a load of cash. If you insist on buying one from a main dealer, be prepared to be seriously shafted.

Hi Dogbert685 - you could get £4K for your old car then you pay 139 deposit and 139 a month for 3 years. Total cost (after final optional payment of 4400) is £9404. If you give the car back after 3 years it costs you £5004 so £1,668 per year. Thanks.

Apologies for the ignorance, but is it the case that I can get £4000 part ex for my old car so in the end it effectively costs me £5404? (my current car is probably worth less than £1000)

CD player isn't standard in any new Astra, that I'm aware of anyway. Even the Elite.

Lol nono, RR Evoque :) Mind i cant remember the last time i used a CD in a car? Certainly not in the last 5 years or so...

Elite Nav version for £150 x 3 + 23 https://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/Vauxhall_astra-new-model-1-4t-16v-150-elite-nav-inc-metallic-paint-69219.htm

Ok found a better deal on NVS. Same car but the SRi version with Nav and metallic paint for 3 + 23 x £170 at 8kpa https://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/Vauxhall_astra-new-model-1-4t-16v-150-sri-nav-inc-metallic-paint-69215.htm There's another higher spec version for £180

Dacia?

The same car as Chevrolet Spark. Some say it's a redeveloped Daewoo/Chevrolet Matiz. Rubbish car to say it in simple words.

Looking at the picture, it resembles one of the non-descript Kias or Hyundais that are prevalent on our roads today

Most Vauxhalls sold in the UK are designed, developed and engineered by Opel in Germany. Of course Opel is owned by GM. They are made in various countries. However, in this case the Viva is developed by GM's Korean company.

Always thought GM Motors was an American company.

I can finally replace my Viva with an up to date version
