It’s an N1 deal: How beating a deadline could save you €23,000

- Eddie Cunningham Motoring Editor

DEADLINES concentrat­e the mind like nothing else, and there is a motoring one looming that could save thousands for some buyers.

Time is running out for anyone looking to buy a five-seater commercial in what they call the N1 category. There are potentiall­y major savings.

Take the current Volkswagen Touareg N1 commercial. This is a five-seater that costs significan­tly less than passenger versions, but the deadline is July 30 (vehicles have to be registered on that date at the latest). It’s also interestin­g in the case of the Touareg that models have a technology pack, worth more than €5,500, that just costs €1,499. Quite a few have R-Line trim too.

The real story is cost. The big VW costs €62,295 (incl VAT). The full retail price of its passenger counterpar­t could be as much as €23,400 more. Yes, €23,000plus. For those with a VAT-registered business, it’s a hell of a way to beat a deadline.
