Recommended VW salesman in Sydney

[Corey_R]

Well... if someone actually cares, you can believe Candyman or you can believe the hundreds of forum members who've actually looked in the thread I mentioned and bought the factory extended warranty during the new car warranty period as I described.

Thumbs up for Bill Buckle

Best dealer experience I have had and service dept are outstanding

A lot depends on how you treat them.

Denlo, who I have already mentioned, are bottom feeders in sales and service. Never again .

I can also highly recommend Paul Wakeling at Cambeltown (not my local dealership, but worth the 45minute drive from sutherland), dealt with a couple of honest characters Paul Hyslop & David Holmes. David actually let me test drive a Gti (on my own) when i told him up front (back in March) that i wasnt ready to buy !!!, and that was my first visit to the dealership.

funnily enough, i made an inquiry at bill buckle for the polo gti in december and i found them to be pretty crappy. i got a test drive, but i got the feeling they didnt think i was serious. i went with barloworld glen waverly in vic, and they were very good.
ive dealt with the service dept at bill buckle and i admit, they were very helpful. the sales were not. luckily i wont have to deal with them again

Hi
Let me start by saying two things:
1. I love my new golf
2. I'm sorry my first post is a rip on a rude, obnoxious salesperson.

Recently went golf-hunting and I began with Barloworld... lo&behold we got dealt the Lorelei card (salesperson - she's been mentioned a few times already in this thread so i feel like this wasn't just a one off) .

After, making it clear that she had better things to do at her desk than walk a customer out to a car and show them around it, she was rude enough to tell us that we should come back another day and drive the car when we are ready to do a deal, and not waste her time if we aren't serious.

Stupidly, I returned. After being offered a well-below average valuation on my old car, and a price (full retail on a new car) I questioned her offer of a deal on the prior visit. As many other forum users have pointed out, I receive better service at maccaz for a $5 happy meal (hey, you even get a free toy) - Lorelei was kind enough to offer a full tank of petrol. Oh, forgive me, how ungracious am I? Im about to spend circa $40k and you are kind enough to chuck in a $60 tank of petrol.... I mean "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!" ... at that point I walked out.

Called another dealer, told him what I wanted, asked him how much. I drove over an hour to get there to be greeted by possibly one of the nicest dealership teams I've ever dealt with and bought a new golf.

the deal was nearly $8000 better.

i'll be darned if I ever go near of the Barloworld Sales department ever again... and if see that lady around town: i'M gonna have to go for a swim in an ice cold pool because my blood will be boiling.

rudest person I ever met.

in saying all of that I can highly recommend the team at Bill Buckle VW ( Brookvale ) - they found me a car matched to my spec, through in floor mats, told me a reasonable delivery time frame, delivered the car before it was due, gave me a fantastic trade in on my car and price on the new car, and wait for it..... drumroll... even delivered the car with a full tank!

Thanks for your time...
and here is to Bill Buckle
CHEERS !

I actually stopped in there a few weeks ago looking at a Polo with a friend.

Unhelpful. Not arrogant like Barloworld. Just didn't care.

As usualy, it's salesman not dealer I guess.

Exactly. There are good and bad salemen. There are also different types of salesmen for different types of customers. Much like husbands and wives I guess

I can recommend Jasmin at Chatswood Classic. Helped me out tremendously.

[Molotov]

I wish I'd met Jasmin then because I found Chatswood Classic Cars to be quite dishonest.

[Captain Courteous]

I can recommend Jasmin at Chatswood Classic. Helped me out tremendously.

I too can vouch for Jasmin.. Very helpful..

I wish I could have bought from her in the end.. Unfortunately Chatswood didn’t have any manuals in stock at the time..

If any of you guys want an introduction PM me.

I can say that the Bill Buckle team are quite happy to help, maybe not all of them but that's the same in most dealerships. I'm only 17 and if I go down to have a look at a new model that's out just to see what it is like, they are more than happy to help with any of the questions I have even though I am obviously not a serious buyer.

Also when the new Eos came out my parents were looking at getting one, we were offered a test drive of a car that wasn't even supposed to be a demo yet that only had 11 km's on the clock. They said to take it for as long as we wanted and they allowed us to take it out without anyone else in the car (although it was my parents, my little brother and myself so they couldn't have come anyway haha)

Called a few dealers today. My spill is that i'm set on a Golf but unsure what model or tranny at this stage.

My family has always disliked McGrath liverpool and they didn't do much to change that impression. Asked if they had a manual GTi on the floor and the salesman responded with "Nah you won't find one anywhere."

Then next two dealers I called both had Golf GTi's w/ manual and happy to test drive. Muppet!

[Vagabond]

Also, would anybody know a dealer in Sydney that has a Golf R in stock/demo for me to check out?

So far the dealers I've spoken to are either sold out or strictly not allowing test drives. Not sure how they expect me to buy one if I can't even see one?

(not sure if there is a better place to post but the dealer stock section said for dealers only... )

[Candyman]

Bill Buckle Brookvale have one and unlike many dealers will let you take it for a drive without a salesman

No ACC though

[Cookie28]

If you don't mind me asking where were the manual GTI's that you can take for a test drive? My bro-in-law wants one but he's only been able to drive a DSG so far

[sh|tbmxrider]

I suppose the biggest question is Lorelai hot?

And what about the ming moles? THE IMPORTANT DETAILS, PEOPLE!

Waitara VW have 2 R's that are registered so would be demos. 1 is a CW 3 door with all the fruit and they also have a RB. Both 2010 models.
