Test driving the new GTI.......any luck finding one?

[NRD80Y]

Canberra/Woden VW dealership has a red GTI Polo that I test drove last week. The Salesman was really friendly and knew I wasn't in a position to buy until I sell my current car (Holden VE SS-V, salesman had one too so that made good repour). Fantastic little car to drive and definately made up my mind that there really isn't any other comparable car for the price that won't make me miss my SS-V too much.

What a tool! Although, I can say that I wasn't even offered a test drive, and actually refused after asking for one at my local dealer, as I told him I was researching a replacement car - not serious enough, I guess. Bought elsewhere.

In siuations like this, if you're a serious buyer I recommend you call or write to the Dealer Principal.

If you're a serious buyer you'll be in a great negotiation position.

go inside, dealer asks if i wanted to discuss placing a deposit. told him im still looking, but it gives me something to think about. he says something along the lines of "well, most people usually place a deposit after taking a test drive, because the cars are all approved and above board. next time, you might want to think about waiting until you're ready to place a deposit, before taking a test drive, as resources and time are limited".

lol.

I know some here got great deals at Camberwell VW but my experience was bad. I went there three times.

2 salesmen flat out refused to budge on price.
1 salesman said to me "Unless you're ready to sign the contract here and now, I won't even discuss the price with you."
