Title: From November VW charging for white paint on new cars!!!!!!
Post by: Squeeguk 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.

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
