Your dealer has an interesting take on things...
Sweet! PM'd you
These freakin VW Dealers are copping some real attitude. If I didn't really love VWs I'd look elsewhere. They will let you finance a car but won't stash your TDI until the money comes through nor let you put a deposit on one. Plus I've bought 3 cars from the same dealer.
This would be why some of them are handling TDI owners the way they are. They know that whether they shake your hand and apologize or just tell you to take a hike and come back later...you'll come back for more.
71SB,
Sorry just seeing that, he's in the southeastern region71SB,
You may be hearing from us too, should we decide to stay with VWAG. Could you narrow down your friend's location without harming his position at the dealership? We purchased our Golf in MN so we're clearly not opposed to traveling for a good cause.
Appreciate seeing a positive dealer relationship report! It would be nice to see more..
"Wag more. Bark less".
I'll ask him tomorrow if it's ok to post his location publicly (I'm sure it is but just want to make sure) or you can pm me I can pass along his contact info. He's an active dubber himself and was telling me they're expecting less than half of people to stick with VW but it appears he wants to change that. They're a volume dealer tooi think that's why he can give such great deals. Mine was way below MSRP, I see people getting quotes of a few hundred or a thousand under MSRP and it makes me laugh Which Baltimore dealer? I always went to Hunt Valley motors, but they sold to a corporate dealer and dropped vw.
All the Baltimore dealers are Heritage now.
I made that same decision with an Infiniti about 18 years ago. I had a very nice G20 which developed a rust spot under the door handle very quickly (less than 3 years). Infinity had a great sounding rust-through warranty but they refused to honor it, claiming that the rust resulted from surface damage. A local body shop laughed when I told him that. Absolutely ridiculous. You could see it started underneath the handle mechanism and grew outward. I told the regional manager I would never buy another and I have remained true. He finally offered half but I told him to keep it. They make nice looking cars but I will never consider another.
BTW I asked he said it was ok to say, he's in Atlanta, GASorry just seeing that, he's in the southeastern region
The business manager at my dealership (aka, finance guy) said the same thing. Where do these guys get off? They act like VW is doing us a favor out of the goodness of their heart. No, sorry, this is per court order, and if VW could have gotten away with paying less, they would have. I love the dealership I've been working with, but this a**hole soured me a bit on both the dealership and VW and I have every intention of letting the general manager know about it--it's no way to entice a TDI owner to stick with the brand. I'm pissed to the point where if they don't hold the Alltrack I have on order if it comes in before my buyback date, I'm canceling my order and going with another brand. Already making my list and test-driving so I'm ready. I'm excited about the Alltrack, but not so much that I'll get walked all over.
Zero. That is to make up for their losses.Philpug;5167415[B said:
I love it when posters are SO sure they know the answer.
They always have good prices. I've sent a few friends to them and they got the price listed on the website plus taxes and fees.
Says doesn't include 699 processing fee or freight. Seems a rip-off statement right there. I wonder what else they will throw at you when you get to the dealer.
