What would you get if they took it back on trade? (for a decent price, of course.)

The dealer took pics and sent them to VW of the harness, the dealer won't forward them to me, I'd like to see what the issue is.
That's crap. Which dealer is this? You're coming to dinner tomorrow, right?
Williams in Lansing.


VW has just stepped up today. They are now offering 2 payments and an additional one year on the warranty. Or, trade the Jetta in and they'll give us 10% off MSRP on any car on the lot.


Yes, I'll be there tomorrow.

It appears they also have Audi there. Can you get 10% off of an R8?

Unfortunately, the offer only applies to another VW.

He's now said any VW period, whatever we want, he will get it for us. He's got a couple Golf R's coming in any day, they're both sold, but we get to see them before the people who bought them.

I honestly don't know what to do, it's a great offer, but I think if we take him up on it, we'll lease it instead of buying, just in case.

Leasing doesn't really protect you from this sort of thing any better than buying.

True, but if there's going to be an issue with the next car it won't be our problem for long.

It's easier to get rid of a car you own than a car you are leasing. IMHO.

Doesn't VW own Lambo?

Unfortunately about as much as they own Audi.
