This is terrible sad news. I hope/pray that Chris gets healthy. He is far too young to have to deal with this stuff.

He was by far the most accommodating and honest car salesmen I have ever delt with.... Get healthy, so I can buy another VW from you.

If anyone is local to the dealership please keep us updated.

I have a call in to Langhorne's general manager to get more information on Chris's condition and which hospital he is in. I will update this thread as soon as I get more details.

Never bought a car from you yet Chris. You and your family are in my prayers and wish you a speedy recovery.

Chris wasn't looking all that well when I picked up my car 3 weeks ago.

Unfortunately, I think the guy works too hard.

He did a great job on getting my vehicle and I wish him well.
Hope he pulls through.

I just got off the phone with the sales manager at Langhorne who indicates that Chris is recovering (YAY!) but will remain in the hospital until his condition is stabilized. He's going to call me back this afternoon with more details and I will post them here as soon as I receive them.

That's good news. I was working on a deal with Chris before he fell ill. Shame I may not meet him in person when we pick up the car.

I only had one dealing with Chris but was, as I'm sure anyone who has met him, very impressed! He is definitely one of the hardest working guys in the car business.

Get Well Soon!

Just a heads up Chris is in the hospital right now with some serious medical problems. If you are looking for a deal or were working a deal I would just call the dealership directly at 1-866-578-6331.
Wow that's a big drag, I bought my car from Chris back in March and he was a real gem to deal with, knew his stuff, took his time, great deal, etc.

I have to say I'm not surprised, he was not a healthy looking guy by any means, hopefully he has a full recovery and then gets more healthy.

Best wishes Chris!

I just got back from visiting Chris in the hospital. He's doing okay and slowly recovering. He can't talk right now because of the tracheotomy and breathing machine. He's due to spend another five days in the CCU as he recovers.

I passed on well wishes from TDIClub and he instructed me to pass on his current deals at Langhorne! (I guess he never stops with the deals :eek: ;))

Glad to hear he's on the mend. Shame this deal is for Passat only. I'm finalizing a deal with Langhorne on a Sportwagen. $2500 off invoice would be a steal.

Last month they had a similar deal on the other TDIs. You can probably come close.

So glad to hear Chris is on the mend. Thanks for the update VeeDub.

This is the second serious bout for Chis in just a few years. Chris - you really need to stop scaring us like this! If I didn't know better, I'd think it was some marketing ploy to gain market share! :)

That sucks. Chris works way too hard , hes a big guy to boot. Never a good combination. The man can sell cars on reputation alone. I've never met a slaes person that sells any thing more honest and direct.

I hope he recovers.

Im not sure I want to buy a car from anyone else

He should be getting out of the hospital on Sunday if all goes well... then a few weeks of rehab and light duty, I would suspect. :)

Certainly wish him speedy recovery. The guys at Langhorne are dragging their feet on honoring one of his deals with me. I'm in a week-long "gotta ask sales manager, oh he's not here today, oh let me twist numbers" mess with them. About to throw in a towel and move to a different dealer.

I guess the other guys don't want to move any product. :confused:

Picked up my new Passat from Langhorne over the weekend. Chris got me a great deal the end of May. Love the new car. Thanks again Chris. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to offering great deals to the club.

Hey everyone....i bought a car from Chris 18 months and we have stayed in touch. Chris is a really great guy, who has been 100% dedicated to everyone here. I am in no position to faciliate at this point, but would anyone have an interest in pulling together to get something for Chris?

Just a little something so he knows we are all thinking about him?
