I bought a GTI a few months ago and was super pleased with the whole dealership experience. Makes me want to ask my salesman if I can test drive the R they've got on the lot ...
Car dealers are still sleezy bastards

Re: Car dealers are still sleezy bastards
I've actually heard that VW dealers do the exact same thing with the Golf R. Rare, don't want to add "unnecessary" miles, etc. I'm like you though - probably not going to buy a car like that without driving it.

The funny thing about all this is the Chevy dealer let me drive a z06 that stickered for 111,000 today. lol No way I'm plopping down that much on a car though.

Re: Car dealers are still sleezy bastards
The VW dealer in Springfield also sells Porsche. I was in getting some recall work done on my wife's Passat and was checking out the Porsche side. Salesman came up to talk to me and I told him I wasn't Interested, just killing time, but he insisted we take a 911 for a test drive. Never even tried to sell it to me, must have just wanted out of the office.ThatGuy wrote:I've actually heard that VW dealers do the exact same thing with the Golf R.

Can you blame him? I'd want to take any test drive I could in a car like that too.
