No Car Matts?

[REXman]

Hey, just wanted to thank Vince at Liverpool for ruining my sisters experience buying her first ever new car.

She gets in and there are no car matts? Like WTF man. I dont care what peoples opinion on this topic is, so If you feel another way, simple, keep it to yourself.

I on the other hand are extremely disappointed. She was very keen on this car, and worked very hard to buy it.

How about you tone it down? It's somehow hard to believe that a bit of missing carpet can ruin a new car buying experience.

When I bought a brand new Toyota, I didn't get car matts either... so not really sure coming on here and "naming and shaming" a dealer is really in good taste.

[walbjj]

Overdramatic much??
I guess like most women her life is ruined, how about we start a fund to raise the $50 for the mats. If that's the type of thing that makes life unbearable....well, do I need to go on

[team_v]

Car mat's are an optional extra, i thought that was common knowledge around here.....
Almost all the time you can get them thrown in for free as part of the negotiation.
Otherwise they will be on ebay for between $50 and $100, no big deal really.

Did you try speaking with the dealer, normally that will resolved the problem. 3yrs ago I bought my new vw and there was a scratch on the climate control, I pointed out and they didn't do anything and I lived on and sold the car without effecting the resale value.

If I were you I'd speak to the dealer, they might organize a special deal or something....

[SmutsGTI]

Its the standard Tint, Mats, Fabric and Paint protection that makes them the cream on the sale. Why would you assume the mats would be included unless they were negotiated as part of the deal.

Whilst it would be nice to have the mats included I can understand why they are not, i.e. upsale for the dealers; what I can't understand is the cost of the mats, I can't be 100% sure on the cost I was quoted for genuine mats but it was over $300. We ended up getting the leatherette; that option includes the carpet mats.

$300 is a bit high. I want to try the rubber mats in the rear (two messy kids).

Seems to me this forum is becoming a whingefest, nothing more than a vehicle for people to whinge and whine and complain about how hard done by they are.

You don't care about anyone else's opinion on this topic? Well you put the topic up for discussion and guess what, I for one don't care about your opinion on this topic. Your sister negotiated a deal and it sounds like the dealer delivered as per the negotiated deal, if your sister failed to negotiate the inclusion of floormats, then it's her problem and really, is a set of floormats enough to "ruin her experience"? If it is, perhaps she should sign up here and have a whinge also.

Your narrow mindedness is breathtaking, wake up to yourself!

[REXman]

So everyone is working for a car dealership? LMAO thats cool.

The mats were offered at a cost of $350. Not a dollar less, not a dollar more.

I dont think that is reasonable, let alone them not being thrown in.

Hey VW Convert, who do you think you are talking to me like that.

Thats the ones I was quoted on, as we had them in a Subaru and found they were brilliant; pull them out wash them down put them back. The lock in bases also reduce slipping and getting annoying rocks under the mats.

UK based, but:

VOLKSWAGEN VW Polo 2009 Onwards (Oval Locators) Fitted Car Mats - from Simply Car Mats

Looks okay - you can make choices about how they're made etc. Anyone with a 2010/11 car think they look right?

[REXman]

I should add, my sister and GF were told also by Vince that the RCD-510 we just bought, does not fit in the car either. He checked with some guy in service and apparently confirmed this. x2
