Audi salesman made the decision easy

Why do they all lead with "The Golf has a chilled glovebox"? I'm afraid that brought me to uncontrollable laughter by the 3rd dealer I visited. I'm sure there are more important virtues to start their speech.

Should have asked "What happened to the chilled centre console? Why did they remove it?"

Another amusing thing was that he tried to demonstrate the fact that when you have your wiper fluid nozzles on the fans dont use the air or something so the car doesnt stink like wiper fluid, it just proceeeded to make the whole car stink like wiper fluid...he was like "Well I dont smell anything"

"Also to the Brissie southside salesman that recommended I go home and look at the internet to answer my questions, I didn't darken your door again."

At least he spoke to you - that's more than you get from the w*nkers at Breakfast Creek. I've been there twice and was ignored both times while they chatted among themselves.

The Southside guy started patiently explaining the basics of diesels to me - despite the fact my Landrover Disco TDI was parked right in front of him.

I'm seriously considering ordering from an interstate dealer.

I got a good test drive from Newstead, but when it came time to talk turkey, i didn't literally mean it! I ended up going north for mine and am happy with the service I received.

Have had similar experience with Newstead in past so was actually avoiding them despite living close to them, was looking at every other dealer from Gold Coast to Toowoomba to Bundaberg.

But after the southside experience I decided to call into Newstead on my way home. Have to say the experience was good, the price was good and there was not the pressure sell that seems the current fashion. My mate was recently shopping various brands and was getting the "I can't give you a price until you commit to buy" garbage.

I think the reality is it comes down to the idividual salesperson's approach.

[ozgriff]

That's exactly what I was getting, that is all and good, but..."I can't commit to buy until I get the price!" Not going to take the stock price or write a blank cheque and that's what lost them the sale.

I'm sure they either didn't realise or care that I was talking to every dealer within 200km.

heres the trick: tell a dealer you have a quote from another place, tell them a number you think is the best price that they could possibly give you and tell them thats the quote you got and ask if they're still interested. at least yoiu'll know if your price is realistic or not
