Volkswagen and Audi will begin offering a new finance incentive called “United we Drive” beginning May 1.

As part of the program, current Volkswagen and Audi owners or lessees who finance through Volkswagen credit will be able to finance 10% more than they qualify for. This will enable them to purchase vehicles which they otherwise could not afford. (Considering the economy we’re in, this may not be such a great idea for consumers).

Another thing they’ll be offering is credit back to the dealer whenever they sell a VW Routan, Audi A6, or A8. The dealers will get an estimated $100 per Routan sold while Audi dealers will get $135 on each A6 and $225 on the A8. Not all dealers qualify and it doesn’t mean the dealer will pass the savings on to you (but it could be a negotiating tool to keep in mind).

Finally, Volkswagen Credit will begin offering 66 month financing as opposed to its current maximum of 60 months. All in all, these incentives basically deserve a collective yawn.
