Volkswagen is enticing private buyers into an 11-plate Polo with a very competitive package.

Until April 14 it has knocked £500 off the list price, and for buyers chosing a Solutions PCP through VW Finance it adds three years free servicing and one year's free insurance for over-21s.

The offer applies only to Polos bought from dealer stock and registered before April 14.

If a customer chooses an alternative funding method, the standalone servicing package is available for £299.

Volkswagen UK sold 45,282 Polos last year, making 2010 the car’s best-selling year since 2003.
