As we move inexorably towards a new year, the thoughts of motorists inevitably focus on the new ‘241’ registration plate and Blackwater Motors has many of the answers to the questions people will be asking with regard to purchasing their new car.
Across the company’s three outlets in Cork, Fermoy and Skibbereen, Backwater Motors is inviting customers to come and explore the full range of Volkswagen cars so they can see for themselves what the brand has on offer.
The breadth of the Volkswagen range is immense and there is, literally, something for everyone. More importantly, perhaps, is that there is also something to meet the challenging needs of today’s customer — from small to big, from family hatchbacks and saloons and on to a huge range of SUVs. And that’s just on the traditional, varied market segments where the internal combustion engine (ICE) ruled the roost.
But for those looking to the future and with concerns for their environment and future well-being there is a huge choice of zero-emission electric vehicles from which to choose, from the baby e-up!, through the award-winning ID.3, to the best-selling ID.4 and on to the new ID.7 which will be making its Irish debut in the coming months.
And, to sweeten the pie for customers, Blackwater Motors will be offering a variety of enticing packages to make the path to a ‘241’ Volkswagen all the more smooth. Included will be various low-interest rate finance offers, with 0% finance available on selected models, as well as an attractive scrappage offer for people whose cars have reached the end of their working lives.
At the company’s three dealerships at Forge Hill in Cork, Dublin Road in Fermoy and Baltimore Rad, Skibbereen, people this coming week will have the chance to find the solution to their motoring needs as well as the financing and servicing package on offer to make their choice all the easier.
Volkswagen’s electric revolution has been as impressive as it has been successful and their entry model to this new world of clean motoring is the tiny but big-hearted e-up! which now has an official range of 253 km, has an 82 bhp electric motor and is available with a 0.0% APR finance package on PCP. It is available at just €68 per week and has a service package included.
The newly facelifted ID.3 is an all-new addition to the line up and is now more exclusive, faster, more user-friendly and comes with a carbon-neutral footprint, like all electric Volkswagens. This high-quality family car comes with a range of 425 km, is being offered with a 1.9% APR finance package on PCP and is available from just €51 per week with the service package.
Ireland’s best-selling electric, the ID.4 is also being offered with a service plan and customers can choose what sort of model suits them best, with the range on offer varying from 353 to 525 km. Available from €63 per week, it comes with a 0.0% APR finance package on PCP.
The ID.5 is a coupe SUV with flowing lines and a strong personality. Its compulsive elegance also comes with a zero-interest finance package, is available from €70 per week (with service plan) and has a leggy range between 513 and 530 km.
On the ICE front, Volkswagen is not short of motoring legends from which customers can choose and the entry point for most will be the evergreen Polo which has just undergone a complete refresh and is, essentially, the small car with a huge heart. Offers on the Polo see it costing from €59 per week with PCP finance at 6.9% APR, with a three-year service plan included.
Then there is the automotive icon that is the VW Golf. A refreshed exterior and superior technology characterise the new Golf and it is available from €71 per week in a 4.9% APR finance plan on PCP and with a three-year service plan package.
Moving into the SUV sector, both the T-Roc and the T-Cross are outstanding cars, with the former enjoying a sharpened exterior look, an enhanced quality interior and new technologies (2.9% APR finance plan on PCP, €61 per week and a three-year service plan), while the cleverly packaged and highly practical latter costs from €67 per week on a 6.9% APR finance plan and also comes with a three-year service plan.
The Tiguan is a stand-out as well and is now more powerful, comfortable and better connected than ever. The 4.9% APR finance plan and the €89 per week cost (with a three-year service plan) make this all-rounder a very attractive proposition indeed.
And the long wheelbase Tiguan AllSpace, with seven seats if needed and a 2.5 tonne towing capacity adds practicality and versatility to the range. It is being offered with a 6.9% PCP finance rate, will cost €102 per week and the three-year service plan is included.
The Arteon saloon, the Arteon Shooting Brake and the Touareg round out the line-up and each of these models are on show at all three Backwater outlets.
So, if you are in the market for quality new cars with the best finance and servicing packages, then Blackwater Motors is where you’ll find it.
