I have my car back! Car on the left is a coworker's R.

Saw this in the parking lot next to our dealership today...

Also, this Audi 100 on 17in Rotiform LHRs. By !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I don't like the drop, but the car is beautiful, and the wheels are a deviation from the BBSs that everyone else seems to run. If it were at stock ride height, or maybe at a slight drop (1in-1.5in) I'd love it.

How do your like your GTI as a DD? I've been looking into one more and more recently.

I absolutely love it. Mine is a '13 Wolfsburg, 6speed. I traded in my 2010 Focus SE for it. I love the gearbox, and although it takes premium fuel I still get 26-32mpg. It's a ton of fun, and I got a great price as well.

If you get one, would you go for an outgoing MK6 or wait for the MK7 in the spring?

I actually work in sales at Lindsay VW in Sterling, VA, and we have 5 left. MK7s won't show up until late spring next year, possibly later, they say. If you have any specific questions about the changes, or about features or whatever, feel free to shoot me an email and I can reply more in depth. My email is jpidek@lindsayvw.com.

I'd look for the MK7 since there's supposedly a big torque bump and a bit of a horsepower bump, but I'm worried about the cheapening interior bits.

Noted. I can't remember where you live at the moment, but if you want to shoot me an email I can give you some info once we get our order guide for the mk7.

That's awesome! Fellow NoVa oppo member here. My best friend bought his passat from you guys just last year, he loves it!

Awesome! I'm glad you had a good experience. Which salesman did you work with, if you don't mind my asking?

Fantastic!

Do you drive a new VW? If not, would you like to? Haha.

Do you ever go to Katie's Cars and Coffee, btw? I've been gone awhile since my car was in the shop, but I'll be there just about every week now from 7-8, since I work at 8:30 anyway.

We worked with Clive. The only thing we've had issues with so far was it took a while to get the weowe items. Bit we finally got em. :)

My sister is looking for a car soon, and she's definitely giving an interest towards Passats. I drive an E90 328i but I've been casually looking at GTI's. I actually haven't gone to cars & coffee yet but I'm really interested in going, maybe we can meet up one day and then swing by your dealership afterwards haha

Great. I'm glad everything worked out.

I haven't actually had to do a we-owe with anything we didn't have stock yet, so hopefully I'll be able to do it quickly. I know I hate waiting for stuff, haha.

Sweet! Sounds good, haha. I work every Saturday, so I'd definitely be around.

Also, have her shoot me an email about Passats if she's curious; we have a ton of them here, and since the year is nearly over we're killing it on pricing to make sure we retain our number 1 spot for our region, haha.

Let me know if you go by C&C sometime and I'll text you or something. I'm always interested in meeting people from oppo; it's nice to put a face to the username. ;)

Awesome. I'll definitely stop in when I'm looking to finally move on from the Si lol

Sounds good! I'm almost always here, haha.

In all honesty, what are the hours like there? I'm in sales now, and don't make nearly enough for my trouble. I worked as an internet manager for a couple months, and a lot attendant for a year and a half. If the hours are good there, I could be completely convinced to apply...

I work 9-5 m, wed, fri, sat. 12-9 thu, and the last two Sundays of each month. Since I just started out I'm not making much, but as long as you sell 6 cars a month minimum you can do really well. If you want to email me (josh.pidek at me.com) or fb message (Joshua Pidek) I can give you more details.
