Seriously VW? Why I won't be getting a Polo Gti

[Tigga1]

Polo suits my price range at the moment. I could afford a GTI and talked price with Chatswood Classic Cars but they re egged on the price they quoted me over the phone (which wasn't even particularly sharp) and told me furphy's like "the Corporate Discount doesn't apply to Gti models".

I got a GTI with corporate fleet discount, saved me $1500...(-;

I will put a plug in for Paul Miles at Bill Buckle Brookvale

Treated us well with no bs.

Give him a call. If you want me to let him know you are calling, pm me

I have to say also, their service dept sorted out two mess ups caused by another dealer.

I can agree with candyman about Paul Miles, he is a really nice guy and very keen to help, another salesman that I would talk to there is Lee, I can't remember his last name but he is in charge of finance and is another really nice guy

[Candyman]

Lee is a funny fella

Chad is a crack up too.

This will be the 2nd new vehicle I have bought off them. A brief and unpleasant interlude with Denlo in between.

I still got hit up by the tint and paint protection lady but she didn't push once I said the first "no thanks"

They can get Polo's mate. Just talked to Chad.

Funny that you guys mentioned him. I was in a fishing shop in Brookvale a month or so ago and stumbled into the Volkswagen dealership. I was just having a look at that point and didn't want to waste anyone's time but I was greeted by a sales guy who was very helpful. Just checked my wallet because I remembered he gave me a card and sure enough, it was Paul Miles.

Thanks for the referral Candyman. I'm going to pull back for a while because it's the Polo that really suits my needs. The Golf is great and I definitely would have bought one a week or two ago at the right price but since then I've had some time to think and I'm happy to sit on the sidelines for now.

Sometimes good to take a step back, have a break and clear the head mate!
Did the same thing myself, damn car was doing my head in

When the time is right, sounds like you had a great referral in your back pocket all along huh....hehe.
Great to read that you have had such positive feedback and help, nice to see the Forum working it's magic
All the best either way

I refuse to deal with CCC or Denlo !

For car purchase or servicing.

Good luck mate. Hope it works out for you

Some insights please... why? Thanks.

Isn't this interesting! I am still waiting for a call back from Bill Buckle, from a message I left them and, Internet enquiry in Dec 2010. They also lost a sale of an R and GTD from 2x prominent business owners not 500m down the road from them in Dee Why.

Guess who got the sale....CCC.

Guess it's a matter of timing and the mood of a salesman? Just like a copper letting you off a ticket, or not, depending if he/she had their morning coffee/cuddle that day.

[Molotov]

Agree with you there. Depends on the day, mood of the salesman and ultimately how they get along/perceive you. I had a skim through one of the older posts - "which salesperson in Sydney" - and the only guy that seemed to get consistently glowing reviews was from a Central Coast dealership - David?

[Candyman]

Depends on the person buying as well ....

Some insights please... why? Thanks.

PM me if interested.

That's fine, but it's an attitude that will only serve them well during the good times and from the way the markets are looking, the fat lady is starting to warm up her vocal chords.

Now I know it's poor form to quote yourself (kind of like laughing at your own jokes) but with world financial markets burning and the ongoing debt-deleveraging (another financial markets euphemism) I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few order cancellationson some of the premium VW badges this year, including the Polo Gti.
