Volkswagen Refused Refund After Sudden Price Drop

On October 15, 2025, I purchased a VW Polo 1.0 TSI in Ascot Gray, sold in Turkey, for $37,145 from Başaran Otomotiv Volkswagen Antalya, an authorized dealer of Doğuş Otomotiv.

Just a few weeks later, I learned that the same vehicle was offered as part of a December campaign, and as of December 4, 2025, it was being sold for $34,155. Moreover, the vehicle offered at $34,155 included additional advantages compared to my car, such as two extra speakers.

Despite there being no scrap incentive, trade-in, financing, or any special conditions or discounts, such a significant price difference occurring within such a short period of time was extremely disappointing. I reported the situation to both Başaran Otomotiv and Doğuş Otomotiv, but no solution was offered to me.

Because I purchased the vehicle shortly before the campaign at a higher price, I request a refund of the price difference of $2,990. I ask that my grievance be resolved and that the difference between the amount I paid and the campaign price be reimbursed to me.

I would also like to clearly state in advance that offers such as free service packages or extended warranty periods will not be acceptable as a substitute for a refund.

Today, I received a call from Doğuş Otomotiv Türkiye, your distributor in Turkey, informing me that the price valid at the time I purchased my vehicle is the same as the price valid at that time. Furthermore, due to your year-end campaign, which I believe is unethical, your company, Volkswagen, has shown me that you are no different from automotive manufacturers in a third-world country, shattering my belief that you are a global company. This is unfortunate for you, but a significant financial loss for me (€2,608). Thank you, and I want you to know that my trust in your company is now completely gone. I feel it is unnecessary to even offer you my best wishes, but I would like to remind you that your unresolved issues and price campaigns, which have caused hardship to customers like myself, are the reason for your actions.
