Best way to screw the dealer post deposit

[Allegiance]

No. You don't seem to realise it's not really just about the exact words that you used in your initial post, it's the attitude that you have conveyed, especially in light of the name of this thread.
You'd be far better off messaging one of the mods and begging them to delete this thread and pretending it never happen than trying to defend yourself now that you've upset so many people, including the dealers who come here and help us all without any pay or thanks other than the appreciation of the VWW members.

Well I do apoligise if that is the way it has come across, however I never had any intention of doing that, nor could I even if I wanted to. Since I have signed a legally binding contact.

No use pretending this didn't happen, since it has.

You bargain - that's obviously.
What you DON'T do is turn up to collect and pay for the TV only to turn around and go "ok, so I'm here, and I've got my cash, but I'm not buying it unless you give me a free HDMI cable and that cheap blu-ray player over there cause I'm looking for ways to screw you post deposit" - such as you've conveyed in this thread

This is what the thread was all about and this is the answer.

The thread has now become a bashing against salespeople in general.

For $50k a year I would not put up with this **** that's for sure.

Well I think you've just learned, you negotiate the deal fully before you sign. You can't ask for extras to be thrown in afterwards. You'll know better next time.

11 pages of going around in circles.
To the OP, how bout thinking up decent thread titles or think about what you actually want before doing deals in the future.
For the sake of the OP, I will close this thread...

RE: Best way to screw the dealer post deposit

This is not meant to start up where it was left in the last thread. I only want to make this one post, I was going to edit my original post in the other thread however I cannot do that now it is closed.

My intention in the last thread wasn't ever to suggest that I was going to go back on the deal, back out of the contract, refuse to go any further with the deal, hold them to ransom or anything along those lines.

I do apoligise to the dealers that are on this forum and anyone else who thought that this is what I meant, and if any offense was taken.

All I was looking for where suggestions like this:

I got my front window tints and boot tub (around $500 worth) after I'd signed the contract. However - I paid almost full price for a fully-spec'ed GTI. This is why the dealer was feeling generous. If you turned the thumbscrews pre-signed, I wouldn't expect much. But you can see that it is possible.

Another angle.... use post-sales servicing as an incentive.

Things like post-sales servicing as an incentive.

Anyway that's about all I have to say on that particular topic.

The thread was closed for a reason, you do realise this?

[Allegiance]

Yes, I do relise that. I didn't want everyone thinking back to that thread any other time I post on this forum. Just had to set the record straight.

I'm sorry, but I don't think any more amount of posting or justification will change other member's attitudes towards what you said in that thread; and please respect the moderator's descisions!!!

Ok then, might as well lock this one too.

Thankyou for the public apology. A direct PM to those it was directed at would have also sufficed.

As per the closing comment on the previous thread, thinking about how you name a thread so it doesn't offend and/or rub people up the wrong way. This also applies to posting in general. This isn't just aimed at the OP, let it be a lesson for everyone here.

Thread (and this discussion) closed.

Cheers,
