400 Volkswagen Caddy in 2004

Porsche Romania, the general importer of Volkswagen vehicles on the Romanian market, on Monday launched the new utility vehicle model Volkswagen Caddy. The company officials expect some 400 Caddys to be sold by the end of the year. “Our estimates are based on the fact that 35 units had already been contracted before the official launch; with the actual deliveries to be made this month, as 100 such vehicles have already reached the Curtici free zone,” general manager Brent Valmar told a news conference. Valmar says the sales could receive a boost from a specially designed version of the model for Police use, as well as from one aimed at the taxicab business. Fitted for passenger transport, the Kombi version of the Caddy model can be bought for 11,443 euros tax exclusive (13,763 euros tax inclusive) and 13,919 euros tax exclusive (16,895 tax inclusive).
