From November VW charging for white paint on new cars!!!!!!
« on: October 22, 2012, 12:58:46 pm »
Looking at getting the wife a new Rocco and got a note with the brochures that from November, VW will be charging £200 for white paint. Sneaky buggers. It's been a no cost option all this time, but I guess with everyone buying white cars now, they can charge. :fighting:

Not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but they really do know how to milk it.

From what I can see now, only the Salsa Red.

They've done this on commercials as well, except candy white is free, but grey white (the original transporter white) is now a cost option
