VW 96 Hour Event Providence RI All good things come to an end, so they say. Yet, most times that a person laments the end of a so-called “good thing,” this insinuates that it’s already over. Less frequently, we can see the end coming well in advance, giving us the opportunity to give it the send-off it deserves. And right now, at Speedcraft VW, this is one of those times. And why is that, you ask? Well, this coming weekend signals the end of our Turbocharged Sales Event. And, to celebrate--or mourn?--the end of this sale, we will be featuring a special 96 Hour Event for the duration of Labor Day Weekend, with more specials on our select lineup of Turbocharged vehicles. So, that’s four days, give or take. However, unlike every other time that a person says “Give or Take,” once this is over, it’s over. Do not slam on the gas to go, and do not collect $1,000. Special lease offers on vehicles such as the VW Tiguan are available for this weekend only! To provide a quick refresher for those among us who might have forgotten the finer points of the Turbocharged Sales Event, here are the pertinent details: every driver who purchases a selected new Turbocharged Volkswagen vehicle will receive a Prepaid MasterCard® Turbocharged Reward Card with a total value of $1,000. The card is accepted at wherever MasterCard is valid, and this special value is only offered through regular business hours on Monday. Of course, this is being coupled with the already-wonderful lease specials available at Speedcraft VW, including closeout pricing on Turbocharged models including the 2014 Jetta, the 2014 Passat, and the 2014 Tiguan. Simply put, if you’ve been dragging your feet in your search for a new Volkswagen vehicle, well, there isn’t any time for that anymore. So head down to Speedcraft VW to learn all the details regarding the 96 Hour Event, celebrating the end of a wonderful Rhode Island summer with a final opportunity to drive away in one of the world’s finest automobiles.

Volkswagen Turbocharged Sales Event Providence RI It should come as little surprise that the summer months in Rhode Island have proven to be some of our busiest at Speedcraft VW; after all, the excellent weather and many scenic byways make for some of America’s most compelling driving. Of course, a natural extension of these idyllic conditions is the desire to drive some of the finest vehicles available, and this is where Speedcraft VW’s just-announced Turbocharged Sales Event comes in. The Turbocharged Sales Event works like this. When a customer buys or leases any new 2014 Volkswagen turbocharged model at Speedcraft VW--including such standbys as the Passat, Beetle and Tiguan--he or she receives a Volkswagen Prepaid MasterCard ® Turbocharged Reward Card good for a value of $1,000. The card is valid wherever Debit MasterCard is accepted, and the offer for the Turbocharged Sales Event extends through September 2nd, 2014. As if the offer of $1,000 (complemented by a turbocharged Volkswagen, of course) wasn’t a stirring enough offer all on its own, the Turbocharged Sales Event may now be combined with Speedcraft VW’s Sign & Drive Event. By taking advantage of our Sign & Drive offer, eligible shoppers signing a 36-month lease for a Volkswagen vehicle will have their first month’s payment made by Speedcraft. This is true of any lease available! Obviously, the potential to combine these two offers at Speedcraft VW is something that any Providence-area driver might be wise to consider. While the $1,000 Debit MasterCard certainly stands as an attractive offer all on its own, the additional potential to save a full month’s lease payment nudges the Turbocharged Sales Event into “can’t-afford-to-ignore” territory. However, this offer won’t last long. Available only until the end of July, area drivers can now find themselves in such attractive turbocharged Volkswagen models such as the Jetta, Golf GTI or CC, and with special lease offers and a $1,000 Debit MasterCard to boot.

2015 VW GTI GoPro Providence RI Well, friends, it’s here. The 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI, the seventh generation of VW’s iconic sports car and the originator of the “hot-hatch” vehicle segment, has finally arrived at the Providence-area showroom at Speedcraft VW, and all the anticipation has been well worth it. The muscular performance, the compelling handling, the functional and eye-catching interior--all of the expected elements of the GTI are in their rightful place. And while the news of its arrival would be cause for celebration all on its own, Volkswagen has sweetened the deal. Through the end of the month of June, an additional reward awaits those who purchase this athletic hatchback: a free GoPro camera with every 2015 VW GTI. For those unfamiliar with the edgy excellence of GoPro cameras, here’s a quick primer: GoPro makes mountable, lightweight hi-def cameras that are frequently used in off-road or exhibition driving situations, and are generally associated with an edge-of-your-seat first-person viewing experience. Have you seen the “helmet-cam” from the X-Games? Or the thrilling twists and turns from the Red Bull Flugtag competitions? Those all use GoPro technology. The racing-inspired details of the 2015 VW GTI make it an ideal travel companion for Providence-area drivers. So, you might be asking, how does this apply to the latest iteration of the Volkswagen GTI? Featuring a 2.0L Turbocharged four-cylinder engine churning out a powerful 210 horsepower, the 2015 VW GTI provides Providence-area drivers with a white-knuckle experience that is better shared among friends. The combination of the GTI’s swift acceleration and its responsive suspension makes it ideal for the many area hills and backroads, and drivers and passengers alike--to say nothing of those who view the GoPro videos--will be thrilled with the refreshed sports car’s agility. As exciting as news of this terrific promotion is, there is little time to waste. The GoPro cameras will only be awarded to 2015 GTI purchases made on or before June 30th, and are already going fast.

With our Full-Transparency Pricing, Speedcraft VW spares customers from the typical dealership nonsense. Full-Transparency Pricing Providence RI It can be a little disconcerting, the first time you enter a car dealership with the intent to buy. You’ve seen all the billboards and heard the radio ads, each of which trumpets a deal that makes you wonder how it is that every car on the road isn’t “$99-down/$99-a-month Vehicle ‘A.’” Why would anyone even consider buying any other car when such a terrific deal exists? At Speedcraft VW near Providence, RI, we’ve most certainly seen the billboards and advertisements, each of which comes with enough caveats and fine print to make the typical tax auditor go blind. So, to combat what is clearly a growing problem in the auto industry, we’re offering an alternative: full-transparency pricing at Speedcraft VW. Would you trust anything this person told you? Yeah, we didn't think so. So what does full transparency mean? In short, this means that when you enter Speedcraft VW near Providence, RI, with checkbook in hand, looking for a new Jetta or Passat, we’ll keep your head from spinning by telling you the exact cost of what you’re buying. No surprises, no gimmicks, and absolutely doubt about whether or not your prospective Volkswagen will fit within your budget. In offering total transparency to our customers in Wakefield, Providence and the surrounding areas, we will offer, in plain black and white, the cost of a new vehicle when considering the prices of taxes and fees. We will also include these costs in the monthly payment schedule so that, when you purchase a vehicle from Speedcraft VW, you leave armed with the knowledge that you have received considerate and responsible assistance from New England’s most well-respected Volkswagen dealer. Buyer’s remorse? Not at Speedcraft. To celebrate our move to full-transparency pricing, we are featuring specials on several of our most popular models, running from now until the end of May. Shoppers will immediately notice two listed prices, one with an asterisk and one without. This move away from an asterisk-heavy business model is at the heart of our mission at Speedcraft VW near Providence, where we proudly sell and service some of the world’s finest vehicles. And although these specials run only through the end of the month, the fully-transparent pricing will absolutely continue. We look forward to seeing you at Speedcraft VW for your next--and proudly fully-transparent--Volkswagen purchase!
