Can not understand them or should i say him...this eve been to local VW looking at spending

 

There are plenty of dealers out there willing and able to give you top service now their jobs are on the line Burnie.
Then there are obviously some who still don't quite get that the market has changed and that they can't treat customers like that anymore.

Go and visit another one or two dealers and give them the story above, they'll bend over backwards to help you out.

It's a buyers market.

 

Rant over now ...
Hi mark ,that chap was so un helpful bloody pain in the arse as its hard enough to get he lady of my life to go,and that just makes it harder,but I shall trowl on through the dealer network.

 

i always foudn VW dealers awful... they just dont care abotu selling cars - i once wanted a new golf with an auto box - and tehy said ' we just dont do those ' the only way i could get you one to drive - is if you 'agree' to buy one - give us a deposit - this if you dont like it im sure there is ' something ' we would be able to do about it!!!

oh and also 3 years ago when buying a new bora... they agreed over the phone for a 5k trade with an old car.. then this suddenly droped to ' 2k ' as when they checked the condition i was told it was ' nto as described over the phone ' lol i was SSOOOO angry though as they had spend 3 hours odd wasting our time in the showroom - sorting spec - budget - price etc only to be told when we were abuot to sign of the ' best offer ' told them to shove it and ended up selling it privatly for 7k then buying a bora private for 3k cheaper so always works out in the end

 

Tom thats the way we will go sell private and buy from private!everybody happy!then no total knob sack ripping us off

 

Had exactly the same both private, trade and now with my company VW barge Bernie.

Local is Irvines in Bridgwater.
I popped in for the first time a year ago looking for info on the VW ipod adapter and some longlife oil.
They had no idea how to work the adapter and made it very clear they were not interested.
They told me the oil was VERY SPECIAL and VW had stopped making it.
It is very difficult to obtain now, and pulled out a dusty 1Ltr bottle from the stockroom.
Cost something like half a kidney...
"When that runs out thats it", he said.
So, I replied "How are you going to service the car?"
Silence.
Twat.

Then asked if i could book a service on the GE lease car.
"Urm, we don't get involved with GE servicing".

I now know WHY GE wont deal with THEM

 

car salesmen focus on one thing. the hard sell. they know **** all about their product which to me is a scandal. they dont give a shit, just want you to buy diamond brite or some shite

 

A sweeping generalisation, I had many repeat customers and did my best to help at any time, after all without them I didn't make a lot of wages.

Soz mate but you are speaking out of your arse, i was a car salesman for for ten years, yes that could apply to some but not all!! I worked for Honda and BMW and product knowledge was paramount, and having mystery shops every other weeks meant you had to no your stuff.

 

In this case the bloke had no fecking Idea then as found out the next day that they do sell 1.4 tsi GT sport with 170 bhp

I have to say in the past I have meet a few sales men that do enjoy there work and help where they can. calm down
