March just happens to be my favorite month. Sports fans get to relish in March Madness, St. Patrick’s Day is on the 17th for those with Irish descent (and those who pretend to be Irish for one day), and of course the most important being my birthday on the 5th. All these events help make the month of March memorable, but Volkswagen’s decided to make March this year the most most memorable with all the crazy incentives and promotions being offered! Some of these deals are too good not to share, so here’s a few that I believe everyone should take advantage of to make this March the best yet.
TDI’s For All!

We love diesel and truly believe in our products. And because we love our TDI’s so much, Volkswagen has decided to offer a huge offer special for those who want to be TDI lovers. Until March 31st, Volkswagen is offering a $1000 VW Fuel Reward Card* on 2013 and 2014 VW TDI models. Lets do some math to see how awesome this offer truly is. The average cost of diesel in the area right now is about $4 a gallon. The fuel tank for a Jetta TDI is 14.5 gallons. So hypothetically, lets say you drive every time to the point where your tank is practically empty, it would cost you $58 to fill up your tank. The EPA estimates that our Jetta TDI averages 30 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. Most of our owners tend to do better than what the EPA estimates, especially using these tips - http://thinkblue.volkswagen.com/en_US/fuel_saving_tips), but if we use the EPA combined average of around 36 (half city and half highway driver), you would be averaging just below 530 miles per fill up. That means a driver could drive at least 9,000 miles with the $1000 fuel card we’re offering before having to pay for diesel at the pump. You’re almost at your first oil change! And if that wasn’t enough, Volkswagen Credit is also offering 0.9% APR for 60 months for qualified buyers. That’s 5 years!

If this hasn’t already blown your mind, for those of you who need to take a little more off the purchase price to make the deal right, instead of receiving a $1000 Fuel Reward Card, the great folks at Stohlman informed me customers can choose to not receive a Fuel Reward Card, but a $1000 manufacturer incentive instead for 2013 and 2014 VW TDI models. This incentive can be combined with any other VWoA National Incentive and financing programs, with an exception of Conquest, Loyalty, Employee lease, and Fleet programs. So if the advertised price tag is what’s holding you back, might be worth talking to one of the VW sales guys to work out some numbers. Either way, if you’re looking at buying a TDI this month, you’ll be able to save at the pump or at the time of purchase.
TDI’s Great and All BUT…..
If a TDI model doesn’t fit your lifestyle, we understand. Not everyone may be a road warrior, or may keep their car for a extended period of time. Although the resale value of TDI’s are higher than gas models, for those who have a daily commute of maybe 20 minutes, or a DCity slicker who utilizes the metro and only drives when needed, our gasoline options may be more up your alley. Those interested in a 2014 Jetta or Passat can get 0% APR** for 72 months and a $500* bonus for Jettas or $750* for Passat when financed and qualified through Volkswagen Credit. That’s 6 YEARS of NO INTEREST. That’s just bonkers!
