Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has launched the “Volkswagen Marketplace”. This is an e-platform where customers can reserve a Volkswagen car and enjoy exclusive online offers. The Volkswagen Marketplace is the first-of-its-kind platform unveiled by an automobile distributor here in Malaysia. It also starts off with an exclusive online-only deal on only 20 units of the Passat 1.8TSI Trendline Cyber.
The 2018 limited number of units Volkswagen Passat 1.8TSI Trendline Cyber as it is called are offered at an amazing (lower) online price of RM135,888 and comes with 5-year free maintenance, and 1-year free insurance. Customers will also be able to enjoy a low interest rate of 0.88% per annum on the Passat 1.8TSI Trendline Cyber if they opt to finance this purchase.
Like other current Malaysian specced Passat Trendline cars sold here, the Passat 1.8TSI Trendline Cyber is powered by a 180PS / 250Nm torque 1.8L TSI turbocharged engine coupled with a 7-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG). Four colours are available for the Passat - Pure White, Deep Black, Indium Grey and Reflex Silver.
How do you make an online booking via the Volkswagen Marketplace?
Customers just need to follow a few simple steps to select their model, preferred authorised dealer and submit in their details.
A reservation will need to be accompanied by a credit card payment of RM1,500 (reservation fee) where this amount swiped from the card will be deducted from the total price of the selected car.
Then, a Volkswagen sales representative will be in touch with the new owner to finalise the purchase until the car is fully registered and ready for collection. A clearer description is stated below.
Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM had explained that the idea of creating an e-platform such as Volkswagen Marketplace had been in the pipeline for some time, and the recent success of VPCM’s partnership with Lazada further spurred the idea.
“The rise of e-commerce has changed the way people shop, and selling 12 Beetles on Lazada in just 20 minutes confirmed our belief that Malaysians are ready and receptive to buying cars online. This as an important development for the brand and we are very excited to be able to bring Volkswagen Marketplace to Malaysia.”
Now VPCM is trying something larger and less niche for their latest e-platform sales model. It will also let them gauge even further how online bookings can be another outlet to sell their cars.
“Volkswagen Marketplace is a permanent platform for us, and we will be regularly updating it with new offers, so interested customers should definitely keep on a lookout for them,” he added.
These are the five simple steps to follow once the customer logs on to the Marketplace.
Step 1: Select Volkswagen model.
Step 2: Select the preferred dealership.
Step 3: Enter customer details to continue with the reservation.
Step 4: Finalise reservation by submitting a fee of RM1,500 (credit card
only)
Step 5: The selected dealer will guide and assist the customer
throughout the purchase process, car registration up till the car
delivery/collection.
All Volkswagen models now come with 5-year manufacturer’s warranty
and 5-year roadside assistance.
