Good sales start
February 11, 2014
It was not long after the announcement last year that VW will
come to Philippines and together with
the big Ayala Corp. will offer VW's. And
now it was the right time. With a great opening ceremony in Manila, the
vehicles of POLO and JETTA were brought
forward. An extra great "Showcase" was built with approximately 6,000
sqm.
POLO and JETTA have diesel engines and manual transmissions.
Actually, I had thought of automatic but
the experience of Filipinos is – because of
the quality of the local streets - that a
manual transmission is much better
because such a vehicle can be towed away - should something will get broken!
The prices are special: The POLO costs 888,000 pesos (=
14.460 EURO according to current change rate), the JETTA 1098,000 pesos (=
17.890 EURO). In normal equipment with Aircon.
In Manila a service center is already under construction.
More offices and service centers are planned in Manila and Cebu. It remains to
hope that Davao will get VW’s soon too.
Let's see ...
Yours truly,
Ludwig from Davao
