Puzzled by VW offer

Over the weekend I saw an advert for new VW cars - it offered

"3 years free servicing for £250"

But... if I have to pay £250 it's not free, is it?

The adverts ive seem are '3 years fixed price servicing'

Maybe the local dealer or printer cocked the advertising for that particular ad.

I looked at that the other day.. Then I thought about it.. modern service intervals are knocking on 18k, which is probably a service once a year for most people.

In the first three services, I'm fairly certain it's a case of oil, filter and possibly pollen/air filter and coolant change once.

I'd imagine the brake components to be "Inspect and replace if necessary".

At almost 100 quid a service, yes it's a bargain compared to normal dealer prices, but still a lot compared to doing it yourself! I would probably take it out if buying a new car though.. 100 quid a year for certain is very pleasing!


However, it does pose the invitation to get one of those new Fox's for bugger all, then taking it offroad on a rally at full revs and then taking it for it's fourth free clutch + suspension service. Everything else should still be covered by warranty
