Got 5 miles off the lot and it broke down!!!

[toastblows]

Yea, 'cause they're new and I was going to start bringing my car there.

any dealer is the wrong dealer

Yea, but some are wronger than others.

I do not think they have a sister dealership in Union, there three dealerships have been around for a long time, VW of Freehold (where I bought mine), and Jersey Shore Nissan (where my bad car came from)

I got my new car!!! Drove it to work today!! It came with 321 miles, I got $100 off ($23,300 total) plus it had the little spoiler and chrome exhaust tips. Not a bad deal!

 

[J.G.R.]

Anything about breaking it in that I should know about?

OK, I thought it was Union VW because they have a sister VW store, Bernardsville. I don't think there's any other VW dealers in NJ that have a sister VW store.

keep track of your old car....see if they sell it new..or used....if you can

for the good of the community....ok mainly for my noseyness.

Just curious, were you able to talk them out of the SEL wheels too?

Don't fill it up with RUG!

Haha I'll ask about it when I go to get my plates soon.

I was not, they still told me they couldnt do that for less than $2000, yet no one ever even looked it up and knew an exact price for me.

Luckily I've always driven diesels so I'm more likely to fill a friends gasser with diesel!

I've seen some factory takeoffs for sale at my dealership for cheaper, but I've heard around $2000 for most factory wheels, so that's probably close to right.

Yea but since I was so adamant about it wouldnt you think they would get me a price and try to sell them to me? Show me pictures or something?

I wouldn't have left without getting more information about it. I've found my dealer to be very helpful though, maybe your salesperson wasn't a very good one? Or were you dealing with the manager?

The uprated wheels are indeed $2000. There was a JSW with them on the lot when I bought my car. I was shocked to see that the wheels added $2k to the price of the car.

It is absurd to me for them to charge $2000 for the wheels, especially when they are going to take the ones that came on the car and sell them as well. You should have to pay something for the upgrade, but it shouldn't be the full retail price of the wheels.

 

[J.G.R.]

I was dealing with the General Manager, so yea he wasnt a good salesmen. Maybe when I go for the plates I will push them to give me a quote on the new wheels and tires. How much are the ones on my car now worth? Or should I keep them for the snow?

 

[740GLE]

with the rubbers, you can sell them on vortex 500-600ish

BTW, if you Google the VIN, this thread is close to the top

 

[J.G.R.]

nice! I should google my new vin

 

[toastblows]

so what did you pay originally? Because it seems to be back up as "NEW NEW NEW" at that dealership MSRP 25,100. What a F'ing scam.

I would be pissed if I bought that car and found out later about the repairs.

But it comes with the rubber mat kit.

 

[quietpeen]

is their anyway to report this dealer? That has got to be illegal to for them to try to sell that car as new.

The dealer will just claim it was a mistake.

 

[DieselNerd]

Wonder what the Carfax says? If it's been sold, there should be a record of it.

 

[kjclow]

might also be a record on the service performed.

It very well could be on a carfax, but how many people ask to see a carfax report when buying a new vehicle?

 

[740GLE]

car fax takes how long before it posts some sort of accident? the owner of this car won't know until they got to sell it.
