As a valued customer, we are informing you in advance of the increases coming into effect in order that you may benefit from this early notification. In particular, if you order your vehicles prior to midnight on 31 December 2009, we undertake to supply them at the current price in line with our price protection policy.*¹

This protection does not apply to price adjustments caused by Government changes in the rate of VAT (changing to 17.5% on 1 January 2010), Vehicle Excise Duty or DVLA New Vehicle First Registration Fee or by any other applicable legislation or regulations.

In addition to the vehicle price changes, the cost of metallic paint on Matiz and Aveo models will also increase as per the table below. All other option prices remain unchanged at the new VAT rate.
