For Volkswagen owners that aren't satisfied with getting a payout from the company to make up for dirty emissions, and need to rid themselves of their polluting machines, Hyundai may have a solution. The South Korean automaker is now offering Friends and Family Pricing Plus on new Hyundais for owners of 2.0-liter diesel Volkswagens. A Hyundai spokesperson said it's "an alternative to potentially orphaned diesel owners that will be entering the market for a new vehicle."
This discounted pricing plan, as listed by a dealer in Tampa, Florida, starts with the gross dealer invoice price, which includes destination and advertising
fees. From there, the buyer gets $1,250 off the purchase price, as well
as 3-percent off of the MSRP, excluding destination charges. Also, any
current Hyundai incentives can be added to the Friends and Family
Pricing discounts. A list of the eligible VW models is below:
2013-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible
2010-2013 Golf 3-door hatchback
2010-2015 Golf 5-door hatchback
2015 Golf SportWagen
2009-2015 Jetta
2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen
2012-2015 VW Passat
2010-2013, 2015 Audi A3
These incentives certainly make the prospect of a new Hyundai rather
attractive, especially for VW owners with that sweet settlement money
burning a hole through their wallets. The question is, will owners of
these cars find any current Hyundais they like as much as their VWs?
