Hyundai VAT-tastic offers on i10, i20 and i30

January may seem a little bit gloomy for some - post-Christmas blues, shortage of cash after spending too much on presents and the government’s VAT rise making things even more expensive.

To help bring a little cheer to car buyers, Hyundai has decided to not only freeze the VAT increase like other retailers have done, but is actually paying the 20% VAT on selected i10, i20 and i30 Comfort models as part of a range of VAT-tastic offers for 2011.

Hyundai’s 20% contribution on the selected models is on now and will be valid until the end of March.

With this offer, the highly acclaimed i10 city car is just £7,109 for the Comfort 1.2 5dr model, a saving of £1,410, the i20 supermini is £8,809 for the Comfort 1.2 3dr model, a saving of £1,750 and the i30 mid-sized family hatchback is £11,605 for the Comfort 1.4 5dr model, a saving of £2,285.

Even with these excellent savings, finding the cash to afford a brand new car can still prove difficult. As a separate offering to the no VAT deal, for buyers who want to spread the cost of their car over three years, Hyundai also has a very competitive Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) plan. A typical three year plan has an APR of just 7.9%.
