It’s good to be over 25… if you’re in the market for a car

Has it been a tad too long since the bloke behind the counter said 'no way is that you on this I.D. mate'? Well thanks to VW it's good to be 25 (and older).

Has it been a tad too long since the bloke behind the counter said ‘no way is that you on this I.D. mate’? Well thanks to VW it’s good to be 25 (and older).

Volkswagen is aiming to brighten the Irish public’s mood, well the older ones anyway, by extending its free motor tax and insurance offer on any new Volkswagen car purchased through May and June.

The offer was originally launched back in April as you may remember and so far it has proven to be a big success with an average saving of those taking up the offer of €495. And to celebrate being number one in the market for the month of April, Volkswagen has decided to extend the offer throughout May and June. How about that?

You may be wondering why the deal is only open to those over 25? Well, need we remind you about the whole Miss Ireland 2012 scandal? Basically, she was stripped of her crown for being “too old”. She’s only 25.

John Donegan, Head of Sales and Marketing for Volkswagen Ireland said, “This is a no-brainer for Irish motorists. Motor tax and insurance is always a considerable cost factor for consumers when they consider purchasing a car.

“We are taking the pain of that cost away for twelve months and allowing them to focus on their car choice without having to scrutinise their already stretched budgets.”
