With many car companies scrambling to offer incentives to lure in buyers, Volkswagen has announced the offer of zero percent financing on all 2008 models. It is slightly surprising since VW actually did fairly well in August. Speculation is that the decision was made simply to move the 2008 off the lot so the 2009 had room, not to boost sales, as is the case with GM's employee pricing extended till the end of September.

The length of the financing depends on the car purchased, but some are available with a 60 month term.
